To ask what type of nose this is?

My father has a nose that I haven't really seen on anybody else in real life. It's a very beautiful shape, it goes in a bit and then just straight out.
It's the exact same as the photo at the start of this article (sorry, I don't know how to directly link photos and it won't let me upload as I am new Sad)

I'm wondering if the shape has a name, out of curiosity.

This one?

topazdiamondsandemeralds · 05/05/2020 16:34

Yes, thank you Smile

Almost a retrousse nose?

topazdiamondsandemeralds · 05/05/2020 16:45

Nope, not that @circe32. Nothing alike. Sad It's a very lovely shape and I just want to know the name, if it has one.

A rebuilt nose. She's had cosmetic surgery.

HollowTalk · 05/05/2020 17:32

Laughing here at rebuilt nose. Is it a ski slope nose?

topazdiamondsandemeralds · 05/05/2020 17:32

I know, EatshootsandRuns. But how would she tell the surgeon what she wanted? Would she just describe it or does the nose shape have a name that she had said?

OP posts:
topazdiamondsandemeralds · 05/05/2020 17:33

The ski slope nose is upturned whereas what I'm thinking of goes sort of straight across. 🤔

Nubian?

Doginahat · 05/05/2020 17:37

Noses have names? I've learnt something!

Dranktoomuchpepsi · 05/05/2020 17:37

That's similar to my nose OP! Wouldn't call it beautiful. I want a nose job when I've got the cash together Grin

This is a bizarre thread 😂

topazdiamondsandemeralds · 05/05/2020 17:41

@dranktoomuchpepsi
Your nose is just like my father's! Shock

Surely when talking to a surgeon who is about to reshape your nose the safest choice is to present them with images of what you want rather than names and words? That way there's no room for mistaken identities.

Having had rhinoplasty myself it's not really a case of choosing a nose from a catalogue. There really is a very limited of work that can be done using existing structures and factoring in the rest of your features. I'd consider having your nose refined rather than replaced. Not trying to be critical just hoping to manage your expectations.

ReturnofSaturn · 05/05/2020 17:48

Blimey you must be bored OP Grin

topazdiamondsandemeralds · 05/05/2020 17:51

@mothtoaflame Surely they could use plastic and put it in the person's nose? Wink

PP, I am bored in the start of my pregnancy, trying to just take my mind off of my worries Grin

OP posts:
GhostCurry · 05/05/2020 17:53

Hope you get the answer OP.

The way you post about your father’s nose shape is... a little odd 😂 and let’s just say that, after reading your description, I was not expecting to see that nose!

Dranktoomuchpepsi · 05/05/2020 17:54

Does anyone know what options would be available to me then? I hate my nose!

OP, can I ask roughly where your father descends from? Grin

topazdiamondsandemeralds · 05/05/2020 17:57

@Dranktoomuchpepsi
No, don't change your nose or get surgery, you'll only be enforcing societies constructs of beauty Sad
My father is mixed-race, he comes from the arab-middle eastern area which is strange as many from there (including me) have very crooked noses! Shock

Of course noses have names, acquiline nose, Roman nose, Greek nose Retrousee nose. I don't know the name for that one though.

Vaguely disappointed now. Grin
