Be honest, would you change it? Pictured attached

It's my nose. I've always felt so uncomfortable by it. I'm unsure if it's a genuine unsightly nose, because let's be honest some of us do just have not so nice features, or if I'm a bit warped and it's fine.

I've read that noses have names but I've never seen one that matches mine. At all.

Would you change it? I'm very happy to receive negative criticism on my nose. I know myself that it isn't pretty Smile just wondering if you'd bother with surgery? I would have the cash to do it soon I hope

also it's very difficult/not really possible to reduce the 'footprint' of your nose. that bump us nothing!!

justanotherneighinparadise · 19/05/2020 18:42

Beauiful nose. Leave it alone! 👃🏻👌

You are lovely and absolutely nothing wrong with your nose,.I have a nose I don't like but it fits my face and anything different would just look weird I think.
Look up Jennifer Grey,an actress from the 80's (Dirty Dancing's Baby) she got a nose job after the movie and was so unrecognisable that work dried up.

moanyhole · 19/05/2020 18:45

Your nose is lovely. Theres no bump that I can see and it suits your face. I have had similar issues with.mine. mine is genuinely large. In herited from my dad. Ive said it to many people and theyve all said it suits me.

My DH always says if I did anything to it then Id only look like Jennifer Grey after hers. No better and not like me.

Ive learned to like my nose, and now that Im not obsessed with it anymore I dont tend to notice it at all!

DanceWithYourBalloon · 19/05/2020 18:49

First thing I noticed was your incredible smile! 😍

I think your nose is absolutely fine and suits your face well. I wouldn't touch it.

However I know that sometimes people can tell you that all they like and you still may not like it. I dislike something on me even though my husband doesn't see it.

I saw a tv show where someone had the bump in their nose evened out with temporary fillers. It was amazing how the bump seemed to disappear with a little carefully placed filler. No surgery whatsoever and temporary, so if you don't like it then you don't have to have it again.

@Afonsvon what a lovely brother! 🥰

ShouldWeChangeTheBulb · 19/05/2020 18:56

You could spend a fortune to create a nose that you think is nicer and you might even feel happier about it but there is 100 % nothing unusual/ugly about your nose.
Did someone say something when you were younger that’s got in your head?

Weallhavevalidopinions · 19/05/2020 19:12

I think your nose is lovely.

Mine is wide and pointy! I'll swap if you will

Vgtasd · 19/05/2020 19:14

You have a lovely nose, I honestly can't see what's wrong?

Helpusout · 19/05/2020 19:20

Look up body dysmorphic disorder. I had cbt for it and used to run a support group for it. If you're obsessing over this everyday might be something to look into. If someone hasn't mentioned it already.

gumball37 · 19/05/2020 19:26

It's difficult for me to say for sure because I can't see your whole face in either pic. But from what I can see it's perfectly fine. That said... My nose is my only feature that I don't like. 🤷 So I get it. I'll never change it... But I don't like it

Igotta · 19/05/2020 19:29

Noooooo

Everyone I know who has had a nose job looks strange afterwards. It's like there's too much skin around the eyes or something.

Your nose is just a normal nose

MrsVeryTired · 19/05/2020 19:35

Agree with absolutely everyone else, you are pretty and it is a perfectly nice nose, its not a tiny nose but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

I would agree with any Latina/southern European comments, also maybe slightly eastern European. Me and my sisters all have not small noses (eastern european heritage) and that, along with our other features (dark hair and eyes) mean we get assumed to be locals when in Southern Europe, which I find complimentary.

Yes to similar to Emilia Clark, Julia Roberts, also Franka Potente (Bourne). All beautiful women

MoreOrNone · 19/05/2020 19:51

Thanks all, I feel much more confident now. I started this thread thinking I'd get some surgery tips on what to change, mixed in with advice not to touch it because nose jobs often look odd.

To answer the question, yes someone did say something. A boy, in school. He made me feel awful and said I was alright until I turned sideways Sad Then he'd do this big taken aback expression and fall off of his chair. He later asked me to prom but I declined and assumed he was trying to play me

There have also been a few assumptions on this thread that I don't have DC Grin assumptions always baffle me (I'm in no way up tight or offended I should add)!

@MoreOrNone - late to this. But you really do not need to do anything to your nose. It’s great and suits your face perfectly. For my sins I watch Towie, and so many women on there have messed around with perfectly fine noses (and other bits of their faces) and they don’t look as good afterwards. Stick with what you’ve got!

misssoaps · 19/05/2020 20:23

Don't see anything wrong with your nose.

moonset · 19/05/2020 20:29

You're stunning there's nothing wrong with your nose but it's not going to change how you see it I guess which is what you need to work on. Please don't get surgery.

begoniapot · 19/05/2020 20:31

I think it's a typical Eastern European nose, sort of Grecian. Perfectly nice though.

begoniapot · 19/05/2020 20:31

And yes I know, Greece is not in Eastern Europe

Dead2me · 19/05/2020 20:34

There is honestly nothing wrong with your nose op, you’re a very attractive woman.

Alexsay · 19/05/2020 20:36

It looks totally fine. I think we can all focus on our own perceived imperfections whilst others don't notice them. But if you really hate it, do what will make you happy.

abbidabbi · 19/05/2020 20:36

I wouldn't notice it as unusual at all if I met you and I wouldn't get surgery on it

AtLeastThreeDrinks · 19/05/2020 20:52

Your nose is perfectly normal and the boy who teased you clearly fancied you! Classic playground tactics.

Easier said than done, but try and channel the energy you spend thinking about a perceived imperfection into something that makes you happy. I honestly believe the bits we hate about ourselves are rarely noticed by others.

HeyLala · 19/05/2020 21:20

You are stunningly beautiful and really don't need cosmetic surgery.
However a friend of mine had a nose like yours and had a small amount of filler put on the middle of it to give it a straighter edge and she is much happier now. So if you do anything try that first as it will gradually dissolve and have no long lasting effects.

timetest · 19/05/2020 21:23

It’s a nice nose. No lumps, bumps and in proportion to your size. Leave it alone.
