To consider a nose job/rhinoplasty? Photos

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?

@Fawnsett, I've sent you a PM btw, if you are still up to read it Flowers.

Another one here who thinks you are perfect! I think those bullies definitely needed their eyes checked. You are beautiful with great features, dont touch your face!

Trebla · 03/07/2019 02:19

I had mine done. I hated it before. Now I don't think about it after. I also had my teeth straightened with invisalign. I just look like myself just more polished now. However yours is genuinely fine. But it's what your head tells you that matters.

HypatiaCade · 03/07/2019 02:32

You look fabulous. The bullies picked on you because they could. They will always try to find something. DS2 is being given a hard time at the moment at school because he likes playing Minecraft - apparently that's for babies now. He's only 9! Completely absurd.

Booboostwo · 03/07/2019 03:34

You have a beautiful, distinctive face and your nose is part of the attractiveness.

Spend a tiny amount of the money needed for a nose job on Counselling to talk through your feelings about yourself and the bullying. Keep the nose.

chardonm · 03/07/2019 04:18

Don't do it!!

AJPTaylor · 03/07/2019 05:15

You were not bullied because of your nose.
You were bullied because of your pretty face
Fact.

Sweetdisposition91 · 03/07/2019 05:29

You look lovely and I don’t think you’ve got a big nose whatsoever!

madcatladyforever · 03/07/2019 05:41

Your nose is lovely. This operation will ruin your face. I've never seen a good nose job unless the patient has a massive beak which you don't. I used to be a plastic surgery nurse. I'd work on your self este instead.

Oneweekleft · 03/07/2019 06:34

You're beautiful and your nose looks great to me ! It fits your face and by doing surgery you'll never know what result you will get. U wouldn't risk if in a million years. Your married now you have your own life who cares what bullies said years ago x

swingofthings · 03/07/2019 06:47

I was teased for my nose all my time at school and grew to hate it.. Y mum kept telling me it made me who I was and that made me more cross.

She was right though. I got to Learn that beauty in the eye of those who care and love you comes from what makes you you rather than anyone else. Your nose is who you are and is part of your beauty. I've also learn that we ALL have parts of our body (and personally for that matter) that we can make fun of. It's OK to laugh at our little quirms that make us who we are.

You are a beautiful woman. If you change your nose, you might be even more picture perfect, but you'll look more like many beautiful women who look all the same. Your nose makes you you, a stunning looking person.

tomtom1999xx · 03/07/2019 06:51

Crikey - you should see my nose. Twice the size of yours, and twice as wide.
But I do understand if you think it’s too big then nothing anyone says makes a difference.
But from what I see in the photos, your nose is fine and you’re beautiful.

QueenBeee · 03/07/2019 06:57

I think the bullying might have been fuelled by envy!

The first thing you notice about someone is their eyes, yours are lovely.
The second is their smile, yours is beautiful.
Then it's possibly hair or build.
Nose is well down the list.

CupoTeap · 03/07/2019 07:04

I agree that you don't need it - please speak to your dh I think he was just trying to be supportive and doesn't think you need to have it done.

likeafishneedsabike · 03/07/2019 07:04

Step away from the nose, lovely lady!!

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 03/07/2019 07:08

OP, look at pictures of Diana, Princess of Wales. She was considered very beautiful but no one could say she had a small nose. Your face is lovely and your nose an important part of your distinctive look, don't change it.

Thequaffle · 03/07/2019 07:10

You definitely don’t need it!! You have a lovely nose and a gorgeous face, don’t risk spoiling it. I think your DH is just trying to be supportive.
You don’t need anything done!

littlebillie · 03/07/2019 07:13

What's wrong with it? Honestly there is such a risk to such surgery

Morgan12 · 03/07/2019 07:15

I'm actually a bit sad to read this. It just shows how much bullies can affect you and how you see yourself.

You are honestly stunning. Very striking. And theres not a single thing wrong with your nose.

Good luck with the masters!

BogglesGoggles · 03/07/2019 07:17

Honestly your nose is great. Straight. Functional. What more can you ask for from a nose? I don’t really think it’s too long (but then again I don’t like the snub nosed look as much as a nice straight nose).

IhaveALooBrush · 03/07/2019 07:17

Your friend is right. In the nicest possible way.
And your DH is a coward, but a lovely supportive one.

Please keep your nose. It's fine. There is nothing wrong with it at all and its unique to you.
You don't want to look like a generic plastic person.
They look boring.

cindersrella · 03/07/2019 07:19

I am with morgan on this.

I thought these photos were from google or something... from you explanation I was not expecting you to look as you do. Your a very pretty lady OP and your nose is fine 😀

Hmmmmmmum · 03/07/2019 07:21

Try having liquid rhinoplasty first. Dermal filler can be injected to reduce the appearance of the hump and lift the tip of the nose.

Often people are shocked at what a difference the filler can do. You might think, you don't want to add more mass to your nose, however it is all am illusion and adding to the dip at the top of your nose and lifting the tip almost always gives a fantastic result. Only costs around £200-£500. And you don't have the downtime or risk of it all going wrong and ending up with an odd shape nose.

(There are risks involved don't get me wrong. But it's a good thing to try first)

VivienneHolt · 03/07/2019 07:23

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with your nose and you have a very pretty face.
