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?

Name change fail also I was spicy pickle! Sorry it's a bit posey too I took it a few weeks back for Facebook 🤦🏽‍♀️

Another person here confirming your photos are of a genuinely beautiful woman.

I had rhinoplasty age 21. I'm now late 40s and I really wish I hadn't. Looking back at photos I can see although my nose wasn't perfect it suited me and gave my face character. The surgeon advised I could have several procedures to 'make you beautiful ' which ended up in me becoming depressed with no self confidence. I have a Hollywood perfect nose that to be quite honest looks ridiculous on me!

Afairopinion · 04/07/2019 13:04

You look fabulous just as you are.

Yeahnahmum · 04/07/2019 13:05

@LadyBumclock yup very true. If you change this: where Does it end? If ever haha.. i just figured that if it bothers her that much : change it. Because it is a big (beautiful shaped ) nose. And it is there smackbam in the middle of her face. Literally staring back at her all the time.
Soif that ismaking her insecure : change it. We all change our appearance. By hair color. Push up brahs. High heels. Spandex. Make up.... i guess the only diff er ence that it isnt permanent as a nose job is haha. So i get what you are saying. Sure do. But also: hey you only live once. And if life is more enjoyable with a smaller nose then hell yeah why not Grin

Jaffacakebeast · 04/07/2019 13:05

Why don’t you get it done with filler, see what u think b4 you go under the knife, I see them on insta all the time “the consultant clinic” don’t think they’re mega money

Ohyesiam · 04/07/2019 13:08

I just showed your pictures to my DH and told him what you are considering. He said
“ she’s really really pretty, it’s so sad she would change that.”

Op it all gets easier as you get older. I know that’s not what everyone thinks, or what the media tells us, but I feel sooooo much better about myself now than when I was young and gorgeous( never as gorgeous as you btw).
I know it’s hard but put your focus elsewhere, get some counselling if you can. This will matter less and less in time.

One day you will wake up and truly not give a fuck about what anyone else thinks of you. It’s very empowering!

browzingss · 04/07/2019 13:09

I think nose filler results are hit and miss - sometimes it can make the nose look bigger and sort of avatar-like, if the dorsal hump is overfilled and the rest of the bridge follows on from that so it overall looks large.

Obviously for others it works amazingly though! I think it works best for small changes, like a tip uplift

PolkadotLollipop · 04/07/2019 13:18

Anita, you are very attractive but that photo is so filtered you’ve almost not got a nose at all Grin

Skittlesss · 04/07/2019 14:50

Aww op, I thought the photos were of someone you wanted your nose to be like! You are stunning!

anitagreen · 04/07/2019 17:59

@PolkadotLollipop there isn't a filter on it it's probably due to the contouring and highlighting or the light I don't know. If I use a filter it's usually with the kids doing a dog face or something

notsodimwit · 04/07/2019 18:04

Hello Smile you are very beautiful Flowers I think your nose gives you character and you should keep your lovely nose as it is! You look great Smile xx

NorthernBirdAtHeart · 04/07/2019 18:17

You look fabulous and I honestly can’t see anything wrong with your nose.

Please don’t rush into surgery. My SIL had her nose reshaped. She had a strong roman shaped nose which she changed to a cute little button nose, which looks completely wrong on her face and don’t do with her features. She’s hated it ever since.

Learn to love yourself for who you are or you will never be truly happy x

Hi OP - I understand where you’re coming from, I got bullied at school because I had a slight lisp. It really REALLY knocked my confidence and I refused to believe anyone liked me until I was about 20/21. Now I’m 37 and it still affects me to some extent.

But as everyone has pointed out, your nose is lovely. Please don’t change it 😊 despite the fact you don’t need to, I doubt it will make you feel any better.

MitziK · 04/07/2019 18:23

I think you should leave your slim, elegant profile alone.

FWIW, I've got the so called 'perfect' upturned nose. Small and completely natural. And freckled. Very freckled. as is the rest of my skin, smothered in the things, actually.

You know what? My mother took the piss out of it daily. When she heard it being described as the Must Have in plastic surgery, she fixated on the phrase they used - Ski Slope Nose. Oh, how she fucking cackled at that. Repeatedly.

Right up until I broke off contact, I'd get phone calls every so often telling me about plastic surgery techniques. Some about 'getting acid to burn off the top of your face to get rid of those freckles', but most about getting my nose 'sorted out'. Ironically, she never said a word about the actual congenital deformity I do have, which is one of my earlobes didn't form correctly - although maybe the 'Cat Face' nickname included my ears in with it.

Kids at school didn't notice it at all. They noticed my forehead, as I wasn't allowed to have my hair cut, so all my hair was scraped back into a rubber band, when all the other girls had a fringe/bangs.

In other words, it doesn't matter how cute/pretty you look as a child, somebody who is mean will look for something to be cruel about. And even if your nose looked slightly out of proportion if you were 9 (which I doubt it did), it looks absolutely perfect for your face now.

You are incredibly attractive. Why mess with that?

ComeTheFuck0nBridget · 04/07/2019 18:36

You're incredibly pretty and I actually think your nose is cute. I don't see at all why you'd want surgery on it

Veryveryouting · 04/07/2019 18:41

I feel your pain OP. A couple of comments I received as a teen were "have you had your nose broken" and "you have really nice eyes and smile but it's shame about your nose". People are just nasty.

HOWEVER your nose is HONESTLY great! It really suits your face too. Ignore the nasty people in the world.

Justalittlebitfurther · 04/07/2019 18:47

If you were going to spend money on anything please spend it on counselling or life coaching to build your confidence rather than on a nose job. I honestly think you’d risk ruining your face!

PeevedNiamh · 04/07/2019 18:48

Don't do it. You're very very attractive and I agree with a previous poster, you will go from stunning to boringly pretty.

legalseagull · 04/07/2019 18:48

You are genuinely beautiful. You could be a model, however if it would make you happy then do it. You really don't need to though. You have a lovely slim nose. I have a wide bridge and would love your nose

Bignicetree · 07/07/2019 12:24

Please leave your nose and your chin alone.
That clinic sounds deeply unethical

mussolini9 · 07/07/2019 17:41

You are gorgeous. Please don't change a thing.

And please also do what pp posted on 1st page - take some of the £££ you WERE going to spend on surgery, & spend it on some counselling or therapy.

You are wasting your youth worrying about something that is imaginary! - no doubt the earlier bullying planted the seed. You would be wise to get some help with how to put your needless worries to bed.

BuildBuildings · 07/07/2019 17:46

You're really pretty your nose its great! Don't do anything to it. I've watched plenty of botched (I know) it's really difficult to get something which looks good with your face and there's lots of potential for scar tissue.

Shockers · 07/07/2019 17:55

Your nose is really elegant. You have a wealthy look about you!

GeorgeTheFirst · 07/07/2019 18:02

You are lovely OP, honestly very pretty. Please don't waste your money on surgery.

joystir59 · 07/07/2019 18:07

You have a lovely nose which you will come to appreciate if you just leave it alone
