Q. Hello, i wanted to know if you could help me, im 18 and for as long as i can remember my nose has bothered me, it is large and has a hump on the bridge, also when i laugh or smile the tip goes downward and it just does not look like it should be on my face, it is really upsetting me, and it is getting to the point where i cannot look at myself without wanting to become upset, i am so desperate to have rhinoplasty surgery, i have been reading up and learning about the procedure for many years now, but i just cannot afford it at the moment, and i doubt i will be able to afford it for a very long time, do you know anything that i could do or look into as i am at my whits end, thank you so much.,
A. Thank you for your enquiry. As a starting point, I would suggest discussing your concerns with your GP. This may be suitable for NHS treatment although it seems rather unlikely. The other point is related to the option of having the surgery through one of the television programmes or as part of a course on rhinoplasty where surgeons may demonstrate the intervention and are therefore not charge a fee. Finally, in terms of the surgical costs, there are options for having the treatment in other countries, but I do suggest that you do a fair bit of background checking before you commit.
