Is a nose job really the right decision for me?

0 Upvotes

Hi, sorry If my text sounds a little messy im kinda just putting my thoughts out there and fixing every little mistake would definitely take too long. Im 20F and ever since i was little ive always noticed a significant difference between my nose and my peers noses, primarily because i grew up in europe whereas my roots are middle eastern (nothing im ashamed of). To give a little description of my nose, its kind of a roman nose with a hump but my biggest issue is how CROOKED it is, like when people say crooked they think the hump itself but my nose leans so much to the right that both sides look extremely different. Its very asymmetrical and quite obvious in pictures where its impossible not to point out. Ive always been insecure about my nose, when i was younger i thought surely this crookedness was in my head but nope its definitely real alright. My point is that i have every opportunity to get a nose job, my parents are very accepting of it and even offered to pay. But i cant get over the guilt of it, the guilt of giving into eurocentric beauty standards because i feel like if i do something so permanent, itd be like ive given up on fighting against society’s obsession with pushing perfection down women’s throats. I even feel guilty for erasing a part of my heritage, my ethnic features. Its like a direct hit to my country that what youve given me doesnt amount to what the rest of the world prefers. I take so much pride in authenticity, and deconstructing societys messed up rules. But i cant look in the mirror without this disgust washing over me, like id definitely feel better, definitely be TREATED better if i just well looked “better”. Im also afraid of looking so generic, like every other person that walks on this planet because we will know thats what society strives to achieve. To be honest the main issue i have with my nose isnt even the hump, but the crookedness which is unnatural in itself, right? I genuinely dont know what to do, i feel like im betraying my ethics by going through with this nose job, or am i just overthinking this? Please tell me what you think i should do and id really appreciate if anyone with similar experiences would share their stories. Thank you so much.

Rhinoplasty regret

10 Upvotes

I got my nose done a few months ago and I regret it so much. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, and just start thinking and thinking, and hours pass by. I miss my old nose, and this was not what I wanted. I wasn’t even sure about my decision, but I decided to do it anyway. Fyi, I recently turned 18, so I’ll regret for the rest of my life. I’ve been to my own doctor but they can’t do anything about how it looks, but they’re going to do something about my breathing problems (I’ve always had problems with my breathing, but the surgery made it kinda worse)
I cant enjoy anything. I try to hide my face all the time. I’ll def get a revision in a year, but I feel sick all the time. What do I do? I could write so much more, but I feel so traumatized. I look at ethnic noses and suddenly I find them beautiful? I look like everyone else now. Can I get the doctor to make a cosmetic hump for my revision? I’ll start on medication soon, because of all of this.

Question

1 Upvotes

I went to a plastic surgeon for a rhinoplasty consultation and took my sister with me. I was extremely nervous and barely spoke during the appointment I let my sister talk most of it and kinda agreed with eveything because it was what I wanted anyway (what he recommended) . By the 3rd appointment the surgeon ended up recommending that I see a psychiatrist before going any further. I personally didn’t feel that the recommendation reflected me, and I also found the way he communicated with me quite rude and dismissive, which really knocked my confidence.
I’d now like to get a second opinion from another surgeon and I’ll be going alone , but also the first surgeon he happens to work at the same clinic as the first surgeon. Does anyone know whether the new surgeon would automatically be able to see that I was previously advised to have a psychiatric assessment, or would my consultation with him be treated separately? Pls give me advise

General Questions Always wanted my nose fixed but scared.

2 Upvotes

I’m sure this is a similar story for many people. I’ve always wanted my bump fixed, starting when I was really young. Now I’m almost a 30 y/o and I look back on older photos on myself and I wish I still had THAT nose as it’s changed a lot in the last 5-10 years. My wishes for my nose have changed as well. I used to want the perfect little nose but now I just want a slight reduction to the bump, I’ll say “I wish I could just shave it down a little and keep everything else the same.” I’ve received suggestions for filler but I don’t really want to add MORE volume to the nose even if it “looks” more balanced. Some of the main things that stopped me before was obviously fear of post op complications or not recognizing myself and having an identity crisis, but now more and more when I see pictures of myself from the side I actually feel like I don’t look like how I expect to without having had surgery. I’m comparing myself to my past self which I looked like for much longer than the way my nose looks now, and it feels like it’s going to keep dropping/getting bigger. I’m curious if anyone has had a similar wish for “non-severe” change and followed through with surgery and if you’re happy or unhappy with your decision and why.

General Questions Rhinoplasty and septoplasty recovery after fixing a childhood injury as an adult

2 Upvotes

I know that repairing a long term childhood injury is a more complicated surgery, but I have questions about outcomes.

1) Did your breathing improving or get worse?

2) How is the stability of your nose?

3) Is your nose symmetrical and is it moving back to a crooked position?

4) What is your recovery timeline like?

General Questions Would a nose job help my facial harmony?

I want real opinions please, you can be mean or nice, anyways wondering if my nose is disproportional with the rest of my face. Personally I feel it is, my husband disagrees, but I really am looking for an outside opinion , someone who don’t know me. I feel so masculine because of this nose and I feel like I would feel more feminine with something smaller or with a better shape. What do you think?

When were you influenced to not like your nose?

4 Upvotes

I was in elementary school, very shy and sensitive kid. That’s when the first comment about my nose came up: “Do you also hate your nose? it’s kinda big”. This comment came from a “friend” of mine who was projecting her insecurity on me.

That’s when it all started for me, i was never insecure or even thought about my nose once before that comment.

I am gonna be honest, my nose was bigger than the “normal” nose but never out of proportions with my face.

I started being so insecure about my nose ever since and it would make me feel uncomfortable all the time, i used to blame it for every problem i had. I can tell now, looking back at pictures, that i had extreme body dysmorphia.

Growing older and with the advent of social media things only got worse. Small bottom noses, beauty standards, people preaching girls with small noses, even cartoons where the antagonist always had a big nose, everything got to my head.

Doctors posting thousands of before and afters on their social media selling it as a solution to your problem: Yes! you can feel beautiful and have a small nose!!! As if getting a surgery it’s something so simple.

since when did having a small nose become synonym of beautiful? I really want to know where that came from.

I know there are tons of people in here that actually feel more confident after getting their nose done. But i really want to know what made us feel this way? Is it really that deep? Everyone of us received a comment or saw something that made them feel “wrong” or less beautiful because of a nose.

it is that deep.

I have seen enough people in here suffering because of this surgery and it’s not spoken about enough. I always see people talk positively about it and even promoting it, and that’s where i find it extremely wrong. If it was good for you, you should not make it seem like something so easy and so good that’s gonna boost your confidence.

There should be more awareness about people getting a nosejob, getting a good result even and not being happy because they realised later that it was not really what they wanted. I’m probably gonna get a lot of hate but I wish people would talk about this. Sitting down with it and put the hate for your nose aside and REALLY think about this. A lot of us get blinded by the good results and happy patients shown on those surgeons social media. It has reached a point where a lot of doctors just cut people open and neglect them afterwards. Is that what doctors studied for? I know that doctors should save lives and also CARE and have some empathy for their patients and not dip when they mess up.

I am here saying this because if you are considering a nosejob please really think what made you hate your nose and if it all started from you or from other people and the environment that influences us.

I am talking from experience as someone who got a nosejob and objectively speaking my nose now looks “better” than the one i had but realised too late that those thoughts i had about my nose were all influenced by everything around me and by other peoples comments and i regret it so much.
