To consider a nose job/rhinoplasty? Photos

[Fawnsett]

So I have been bullied for my nose in school, and although externally I stayed calm, it was pretty hurtful. I know it's not the worst nose in the world, but I keep coming back to an idea of rhinoplasty. I'm 29, and after a considerable break (8 years!), I am going to start my masters this September (and I am very anxious about it).

I don't have spare money, and initially, I thought that I'd do that later on in my life.. But the closer to September the more anxious I am.

My friends say I am an idiot. My husband says go for it if you feel better that way (although I wish him to say the same things as my friends do)...

I know shorter nose will look better on me..also the hump. But do I need it? What do you think?

Bloody hell OP I thought you were posting those pictures as an idea what you'd want your nose to look like then I realised it was actually yourself!
You are stunning and there is nothing wrong with your nose but if it does affect your self confidence then no amount of reassurance can change how you feel.

You look gorgeous OP. Your nose really suits your face. Don’t mess with it

Your nose is lovely.

In this day and age of everyone starting to look the same, you stand out with your natural features.

If you feel like you really want it done, maybe try the non surgical one first to see how you would feel, because once you go under the knife you can’t go back

Your beautiful I honestly can't see a thing wrong with your nose.

I agree with your friends

You are beautiful, please don’t touch your nose. Beauty is in our imperfections and asymmetries... totally +1 to what a pp said about Jennifer Gray.

I’m sorry people were mean to you at school, but bullies will be bullies regardless. I was bullied at school a bit because I had big boobs and looked like a famous model. It’s a testament to their own insecurities, don’t let it become yours.

There is nothing wrong with your nose. You are very attractive, if I was going for a nose job I would be taking those pictures as this is what I want (my nose is a wide, flat rather flat nose!)

Thank you all once again. You helped a lot because deep inside I thought that majority would say otherwise.

I have taken the advice a lot of you guys mentioned, and booked first session with therapist to talk about my anxiety and my feelings. Will see how it goes..

Honestly, I think your nose is beautiful.

Oh well done @Fawnsett I am so pleased to hear that.

I’m really pleased to hear it too!

I guess it's very reasonable, considering what you have told me.

Thank you so much.

You are absolutely stunning. All your features are in proportion and fit your face. I can only think that the bullying g you received was due to envy.

My DD had rhinoplasty at 19. Her nose totally dominated her face, turned downwards at the tip and had a big hump at the top. She wasn’t bullied but hated it and felt very self conscious - couldn’t look people in the eye, didn’t want to wear pretty clothes because she felt she looked ridiculous. The op changed her life. You could see all her features matched, her top lip was more visible and she was confident and happy. Hers was totally justified on aesthetic grounds. She said it was so painful afterwards - like someone had thrown a brick at her face.

I’m so glad this thread has helped you look at reasons why you feel your nose is an issue and to explore therapy. You are beautiful and deserve to feel you are. Good luck.

Haha, brilliant, OP.

This can't possibly be real.

I'd kill for a beautiful slim straight nose like yours op. I thought the photos were after shots of models who'd had them done. Mine is penis-bellend shaped, jumped and just awful. I wish I had your nose.

My decision to book a therapist? No, it's real.

I felt very bad and almost booked a clinic in Bulgaria (alongside with a loan, as I have mentioned I don't have spare money for the operation) I know taking loan before masters is quite a stupid thing to do, and I felt uneasy, scared and torn apart.. so I decided to post photographs and just see replies confirming thoughts in my head, something along the lines you are ok from the front, but never turn your head sideways..
I thought my friends (I am talking about two best friends) were just kind to me, as I know they love me and perceive me through years of friendship, I mean they are biased.
But this thread. If that's true and you are not just kind to me as they are 🙈, I agree I need therapy then.
I am quite shocked and can't thank you enough for all your kind words and I am sincere.

I was taking my son to stay and play session at his new school on Friday, and there were lots of new parents (he is visiting nursery there and I thought that I will know everyone). I felt very anxious but then thought about your words and calmed myself down repeating that it's just my stupid head.

I thought you were going to post some photos of a Gollum-like creature.

You’re honestly beautiful, OP but you must lack confidence in your appearance, perhaps because of the bullying.

I hope you sort that out because it makes a lot more sense than getting a nose job that’s not needed!

My first reaction was- are these pictures of what you want your nose to look like? But reading others comments that's you now? There's nothing wrong with your nose. It's a nice nose

Your nose looks absolutely fine and you wouldnt look like you if you changed it.

I think you would miss the way look now and actually regret it.

Remember Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing, she had a nose job and lost the essence of who she was. She looked so much better with her original nose. She also lost her career in the process as no-one recognised her and she didnt look unique any more.

and it's a given that you are very attractive as all the posters have already said.

I think you're absolutely beautiful and if I looked like you, I wouldn't want to change.
