Not personally, but my boss had the procedure done, apparently because he was a heavy snorer. Because it’s surgery, after all, it was kinda nasty and uncomfortable (so he said), but he was happy with the results for a while. But after 18 months or so, he told me that he began snoring again. So, it seems like you can regress back to the earlier state.

What are your stories? My sister had it, it didn’t help. My nose was broken twice, it’s a real mess. I snore bad.

At age 16— I am 50 now. It took a really long time to settle, I’m so glad it changed my life. An ugly duckling into a swan. I’ve read many horror stories, I’ve had rather alot of plastic surgery for and average person, all great results, maybe just lucky. Did you have a bad experience @lovelessness ? Would like to hear about it.

I did. I had a terrible one. I had to get professional help. My nose turned from exotic to ugly.

@lovelessness I am sorry has it been long? What happened? If you are very young these can sometimes take a long time to settle and narrow down. I am sorry this happened to you I hope it is ok now.

There are plenty of horrible stories about all cosmetic procedures.
I know a 32 yr. old that had a stroke after a tummy tuck and is now disabled with 2 young children.
I have an ex friend that ended up with a bratwurst sausage roll of ass fat that was put into her breast and fell down onto her rib cage and she had to have several repair jobs done and her boobs are ruined for life.
I know another ex friend that ended up with a permanently numb forehead from a partial face lift and another that had a nose job and now has flared nostrils that resemble a wild horse.

On and in…...go for cosmetic surgery at your own risk. No thanks..I’ll keep all the parts I was born with, let them sag, wrinkle and fall where they may. lol

When I was 12–14, I lived in a largely Jewish section of Chicago. A lot of my friends got nose jobs. What would have been larger noses became identical buttons. They were happy with them. I didn’t hear about any bad stories. I always wondered what they would have looked like if they had just let nature take its course. I felt the same way about my son getting his teeth straightened.
