Rhinoplasty and phermones.

**Arousing** · 06-03-2007, 06:22 AM

I have

been seriously considering rhinoplasty these past few weeks after wanting it for afew years. If its going to destroy

my ability to pick up on phermones then that will probly be a deal breaker for me. So what is the general consensus

with that?

There was some talk about that

here a couple years ago and a more recent debate about it. You might want to do a search of the forum.

However,

since there seems to be little belief that the VNO is the primary pheromone sensing organ it shouldn't really have

an impact on you. Nobody is completely sure yet but that seems to be the way the science is leaning.

Sorry for asking such a

stupid question but..
What's rhinoplasty?

I personally would ask the

surgeon if it were possible to spare my VNO.

Research does not yet support the hard-line "VNO does not exist"

position.

If the surgeon didn't know what I was talking about I'd find another.

Then again I'm funny

that way.

A nose job.

If it can hurt your sense of smell it may hurt your phero sensing

abilities too.

Ask your dr. I would not do anything that would hurt my sense of smell anyway because I love food

too much.
