To consider a nose job/rhinoplasty? Photos

Fawnsett · 02/07/2019 23:34

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?

I think you look beaut tbh...no changes needed (and I say that as someone who very pro changing what you don't like).

Xxalisoncxx · 03/07/2019 13:27

You’re stunning, your nose is PERFECT as it is x

DustyMaiden · 03/07/2019 13:31

In September you will feel better when your nose is not mentioned. It won’t be because there is nothing to mention.

You are beautiful as you are, I’m not being kind, you truly are.

Hellmistress · 03/07/2019 13:36

"I think you're beautiful in part BECAUSE of your nose."

Totally agree. Please also bear in mind that the result of surgery cannot be guaranteed. Someone I know looked (to me) worse after her surgery than she did before mainly because her nose no longer suited her face

Snowy81 · 03/07/2019 13:39

You look fab!! I’m waiting on the NHS to have mine done- I have 4 breaks in it, so mine is one hell of a wonky conk! So I understand you totally about that feeling where you aren’t happy, think people are looking at your nose not you, and you look at others with little cute noses and sigh! But girl, you have zero, nadda, zilch, nothing to be worried about!! Wanna swop?! Lol

Fawnsett · 03/07/2019 19:08

I feel kinda ashamed now Grin, after all these kind words and messages.. but honestly, thank you so so much! I had so much less of anxiety today and I guess the suggestion I have to try therapy first is correct.

I am so grateful for all your messages and time Flowers

You're beautiful! Don't change it.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 03/07/2019 20:21

Bloody hell, @spicypickle you're another one! That pic looks gorgeous, you have lovely eyes and a strong beautiful nose.

Justathinslice · 03/07/2019 20:27

Spend the money on learning to love yourself.

Justathinslice · 03/07/2019 20:28

And you'd look strange with a chin implant

LauderSyme · 03/07/2019 20:49

Fawnsett I'm glad this thread has made you reconsider because you have a beautiful face.

As does spicypickle!

Haters gonna hate. Bullies are such sad little people.

Historydweeb · 03/07/2019 21:00

I haven't even looked at the pictures but you don't always need surgical rhinoplasty these days as amazing things are being done with skilfully administered filler. I follow a page called the consultant clinic on instagram and I had no idea people were able to get this effect until it popped up on my feed one day, honestly I'd look at their page before I considered surgery. There are probably others who do the same thing but that's the one I follow

Historydweeb · 03/07/2019 21:03

Shit, should have read the whole thread sorry OP, as I said I hadn't looked at the photos or replies

schoolsoutforever · 03/07/2019 21:09

You look lovely. There's nothing at all wrong with your nose. You don't really want to look like a generic, bland person. I actually (and genuinely) think it is a good nose and gives you character (really not in a bad way).

WMPAGL · 04/07/2019 11:06

treefloof having two different coloured eyes actually sounds incredibly cool!

Slightly different but I once saw a guy on a train with "keyhole" shaped colobomas going straight down from his pupil through his iris and had to try really hard not to stare because it was genuinely mesmerising but I didn't want him to think I was looking because I thought anything negative about it. It's a medical condition that in some cases can interfere with sight so I'm not making light of it, but I'd hate to think he was self conscious about something that looked pretty awesome just because it was unusual.

Excited101 · 04/07/2019 11:18

You look incredible. Use the money to pay for something like Thrive to learn how to have better self esteem and confidence.

Fawnsett · 04/07/2019 11:20

I just wanted to post a little thing, as the consultant clinic was mentioned before.

I checked their Instagram and it looked very good and impressive indeed.

Then I checked the trust pilot :1*. So just wanted to mention this if someone will check their Instagram.
I decided to message them just to see what they will say anyway. They have sent me the link to registration and said I need (!) a chin balancing, lol. My chin might be not the best part of me, but I am ok with it. And not "might consider" or "looked a"t, whatever. I just need it lol Grin. No wonders people cant stop adjusting their faces, because you can adjust everything then. Who defines particular perfection? One thing when someone from ordinary people is saying this and another thing to get it from professionals..

treefloof, I actually wanted to mention this too, but couldn't find it yesterday. Different eyes look awesome and super interesting!!

Thank you all guys again!

WM and fawn, I think it's weird having odd eyes, it can make me look like I have a bad squint too as one eye greenish one brownish. So the brown one looks squinty. Not making myself clear at all sorry.
But still fawn you look divine with the nose you have. Dont change it, just try to learn to love it. Bullies will be bullies no matter, it's a personality they look for rather than a thing that's actually "wrong" with anyone.

b0bb1n · 04/07/2019 12:14

My word if you think your nose is bad you should see mine! Yours is beautiful it doesn't need 'fixing'. Flowers

LightDrizzle · 04/07/2019 12:27

I’m appalled at the clinic.
I’m not blowing smoke up your arse when I say you are beautiful. I really like your nose, it’s not the “cute” retroussé button beloved of Hollywood cosmetic surgeons, but it is a beautiful, elegant nose. It’s like Julie Christie, she would have been anodyne with the Hollywood button, and yes, there is a risk that changing it will alter the relative proportions of your face, that are currently harmonious, leaving you either unhappy, or running back for more surgery. Meanwhile you have lost “you”.
I’m not against rhinoplasty in all cases, I’ve seen good results, but the people in that category had very, very dominant noses or very pronounced bumps or hooking that really affected their confidence and hand on heart, they did look more conventionally attractive afterwards.
However I think you could really regret it.

CoConut22 · 04/07/2019 12:34

You are stunning, please don’t let the bullying win!

Ellapaella · 04/07/2019 12:49

I think you got bullied because you are absolutely stunning and they were jealous of you! You are beautiful and your nose is perfect. A good surgeon will hopefully tell you you don't need rhinoplasty. I wish I had your nose!

Ellapaella · 04/07/2019 12:50

The 'clinic' are charlatans!

anitagreen · 04/07/2019 12:51

@Fawnsett I also was offered a chin implant or filler in my chin also told lip fillers would add to my profile it's crazy this is a photo of my face front on, I posted a photo of my nose side on down the post somewhere and thank you also to everyone who said my nose is fine I feel like it is now I'm older.
