Nose job - Turkey vs Ireland which to choose

I read a horror story on r/plasticsurgery.

Surgeon messed up, destroyed her. Do your homework out the wazoo on finding someone reliable in Turkey.

I've heard wonderful things but not something you want to go wrong with.

At least in Ireland you have recourse, Turkey the surgeon can basically ignore you if things go wrong.

Read-read-read, if you have 100% confidence and a series of flawless recommendations, maybe Turkey could be considered?

Otherwise I personally wouldn't chance it.

..........

That being said I only looked into this previously from a dental point of view (and LASEK eye surgery), not plastic.

Youtube has some good video logs of patients who has their work done in Turkey, good place to see a first hand accounting of things.

The term “Rhinoplasty” comes from the Ancient Greek words for nose, and plassein, which means to shape. It is more likely that the animal derived its name from the same Greek word for nose.

Op, as with all medical procedures, do your research and do not rely solely on the internet/site reviews, they are marketing material. Check the qualifications of the surgeon, an article earlier in the year reported that under 20% of the most popular clinics on Instagram had the qualifications required in Ireland to do the procedures. And, consider aftercare, particularly if there are complications. This procedure could be life changing, hopefully for the better, but you have to consider for the worse.

That was obviously public.

Assuming OP is looking for a private surgeon.

My GP is very well informed, but I wouldn't ever bother inquiring with them about something like this.

I checked the register of all the major public, private and best hospitals for a list of their consultants/surgeons in this area.

I rang their secretaries, I confirmed their areas of expertise and speciality.

I cross referenced all that with reviews I could find of them on google; cranio-facial, plastic, maxilofacial and ENT's.

I ensured all my information was correct using the appropriate reddit forums, in some cases contacting oversea's surgeons.

I posted about it somewhere on boards also and got some feedback.

I checked the compiled list of consultants for who was who and who stood out (turned out the senior consultant from St James who also practices privately was the person I went with).

I contacted him privately and sought an opinion.

Then I made appointments with three different consultants and having met with them, hit them with all my questions, and in perspective of all of the above, I felt very confident in the choice I'd made and proceeded (the result was flawless, and he said after it was a complicated and difficult job, i.e. anyone but him would almost certainly have fucked it up).

.......

Basically if someone's coming at my face with a scalpel + pair of pliers, I want to be 100% sure I've made the best possible choice to minimize the risk any possible damage, optimize the probability of the best possible result.

I really don’t think it is appropriate for one person to tell another that they are wrong to want to change something about their appearance which they are unhappy with. It is incredibly inconsiderate , and ignorant. Have we not gone past the point where we tell people what they should and shouldn’t do with their own body?

You are assuming it is girls.

Whether it looks better or worse is subjective, and is a matter only for the person it applies to. There is a difference between body dysmorphia and someone who wants to improve for example a large bump on their nose. You don’t know the op or why they want a rhinoplasty, so I’m struggling to see why you think you are in a position to comment on whether he/she should have surgery.

An example of a subjective viewpoint.
