Like having to explain to family youre flying somewhere just for surgery, having no one close by to pick you up directly after the procedure, having to go to the airport and get on a plane with a bandaged up swollen face. Tough.

me personally bro I would never go to india. Korea and Turkey I get, but India is a whole different ball game.
actually second thought I'd just save up 13k to go to Barry Eppley for a custom chin implant in the states,

Bro my dad almost got genioplasty himself but decided he was too old to care anymore lol. When I initially got turned down for bimax by multiple orthodontists he actually suggested genio (of course first he said I dont need it 100x). My mom didnt want me too tho bc of how invasive it is + the recovery + she kept saying my chin is normal.
For rhino it has been something I've been talking about for years. Rhino for persian people is so common bro (7x more people get rhino in Iran than the US). Rhino is like a status symbol for persians, it shows you can afford to have a good nose. So they are fine with me getting rhino.

Hes pretty well off and plastic surgery for the persian community is pretty common

I just need a genio and rhino mostly for my nose bridge, genio I'll get where I live but for rhino not sure, might go to korea cause they have specific nose jobs I might do other than just changing my nose bridge

Toronto has good rhino surgeons bro but theyre so expensive. One guy Im thinking of charges close to 20k CAD but is one of the best in the world.

Yeah I'll just stick to genio for Toronto. I have a lot of persian friends so I'm guessing for you it would be just a bridge change rhinoplasty since that's what most persians do and I would probably stick to Toronto if I just needed to change my nose bridge but I also wanna change my nose shape slightly since it's a little too upturned and undefined for my liking

are you aware of good persian surgeons for male rhinoplasty

interesting to know that rhino is popular and carries that status symbol in the culture around there

Goddamn that’s steep bro. Why so much?
AUD is weak plus it's in a good area by very good surgeon, and I don't really have the time/energy to travel because of work/life/etc

Why don't you go with some friends, your girlfriend or even hire a temporary professional nurse to take care of you.

Why do you need to go to the airport directly after? Can't you stay put there for 1-3 days until the swelling goes down (and for any follow ups?)

Also how do you deal with having no one pick you up after the procedure? Just call an uber?

No chance I'd hop on a plane the day of my surgery

1. I would never tell my friends I’m getting cosmetic surgery much less travelling for it mich less asking them to come with me
2. Don’t currently have a gf but same rules apply as above x10
3. I’ll look into it

what is your age?
Cant you just jut to get a big chin?

Lucky. My dad is also well off but he'd never pay for that type of stuff. I'd be happy if he just accepted the fact that I want surgery but he's anti-plastic surgery and it's going to suck having to listen to his lectures once I go through with it.

how are you paying for all your surgeries then? how many years are you planning to surgerymax?
are you only getting a horizontal genio?
yes
 
You don't have to go home with a bandage, stay in a hotel for days/week. You can also hire a translator, they don't just translate, but help to move around the city, can peak you up, give a ride, etc.

I have money. Might be 1-3 years. Depends on how I bundle things and what I end up doing. I'm still sorting out a surgical plan. I'm getting rhino very soon though that's the first step and after that I will maybe get some work on my chin and eyes.

OBO and LL are my fantasy surgeries. If the stars align maybe.
