Oh, Seattle! Oh, Seattle! It's true, that is what you just heard: noses. Rhinoplasty, in Seattle, is similar to finding the best espresso shot. It depends on personal taste and science. More help?

Now let's get started with surgeons. Choosing a surgeon is not the same as choosing a Netflix show. Here's the deal. It's important to find someone with a good nose, just like the barista understands their beans. Board-certified? Check. What is your experience in turning "eh?" into "wow?"? Double-check.

Let's get down to the details: consultations. Imagine this scenario: You're sitting down, feeling your feelings about the way you always thought that your nose should be straighter. After listening to your concerns, the surgeon will nod and use a software program which shows you how you might look after the surgery. The software is similar to Photoshop, but it's in the best way.

Now the big day has arrived. Open or closed surgery is your choice. They make an open incision, which allows them to examine your nose structure closely. A closed procedure keeps everything hidden within the nostrils. Both options will have you looking your very best.

The recovery is something that nobody wants to mention, but which everyone should know. You'll probably look as if you had a losing boxing match against Mike Tyson in the first week or so after your rhinoplasty. Swelling? Check. Bruises? Check. It will take time, but beauty comes with pain.

Prices are wildly inconsistent. For example, it's hard to comprehend why people would spend $5 on avocado toast when avocados only cost $1 in the store. How much work is done with your sniffer and who does it will determine the price.

The decision to change your beak shape is not something you should take lightly (see where I went with that?). The goal is to feel good about yourself when you're in front of the mirror.

Seattle may be famous for its Space Needle or grunge-music history but there are also some top rhinoplasty experts in Seattle who can transform lives and noses, one patient at time.

Don't forget: At the end of the surgery (or day), the goal is not to just change how people perceive us. It's about how we feel. More confident, more poised and prepared for anything life may throw at us (yes, it could be another Seattle rainy day).

You can choose to reshape your nose or use the latest design of latte art. Do what you feel is right. Seattle, more than any other city in the world, is known for its uniqueness.

Always remember: If in doubt, when considering a surgical procedure, consider whether you want to achieve your version of perfect happiness or someone else’s. After all, as they say down here in Texas - "Dance with the one who brung ya," and make sure any changes are for Y-O-U.right.ness...even if just for a little while.ite some epic tales together! At least, try to avoid falling asleep with our textbooks. We should perhaps ask the person why they feel this way rather than jumping to our own moral high horses. Listening is the first step to understanding, even when what you hear may make us feel uncomfortable.
