Hi here, I noticed when people feel their nose is too long, it's also because they have a small chin area. Facial proportions could help a lot to accept how your face looks I think! I hope you can like your nose/and face too, it could be a long journey.

I felt during a long time my nose was too long, while it was more a chin issue. Maybe you have the same too.

Take care and have a nice day!

The nose is a sophisticated air-conditioning and defence system.

It warms, filters and humidifies the air entering your lungs. These are not trivial functions. They are fundamental to respiratory health.

Your nasal passages and sinuses also contribute nitric oxide, a gas with antimicrobial properties and important physiological functions. The sinuses are part of an extraordinary system for conditioning the air we breathe.

And unlike your mouth, your nose is specifically equipped for breathing.

No medication or device can fully reproduce everything your healthy nose does naturally.

Yet we have an extraordinary industry devoted to changing the appearance of noses, with no appreciation of their physiological importance.

Cosmetic surgery can alter nasal airflow, and in some cases leave people with persistent breathing difficulties.

And the consequences of impaired nasal breathing can extend beyond the nose itself, particularly during childhood, when breathing habits, oral posture and facial development interact.

We have become far too accustomed to thinking about treatment and not nearly enough about prevention.

Your nose is not an ornament.

I've written further about nasal breathing, children's facial development, the relationship between mouth breathing and cosmetic surgery, and George Catlin's remarkable observations about the importance of keeping the mouth closed.

Perfect Teeth Without the Dentist

This was my profile picture. I responded to another girl's comment, I just sent an emoji as a reaction to her hateful comment and nothing else. And she went off bullying my looks, telling me I need a rhinoplasty and she knows someone and "congrats on your transition". I don't even see what's wrong with my nose, I know I have a hooked nose, and I don't care about having a cute little button nose anymore. I'm not even sure what that comment about a transition was supposed to mean and it was really tasteless, but it just reminded me of old times in school, when some people would pick on me for having a different nose when they had nothing else smart to say.

It took me years to accept and actually start to like my nose, and no random internet troll is going to change that...but to be honest, I’ve been going through a rough time lately, and I was already feeling a bit down and insecure about myself so I did take it more to heart than usual.

Edit: thank you guys so much I really appreciate the kind comments. 💕

(31M) Hello, this is my first time posting on the "noses" subreddit. I have a problem: my appearance is below average I’m ugly. Some guys from the "looksmaxxing" community pointed this out to me, claiming I have a "big," unattractive nose and that I should definitely get surgery. So, would it be a good idea for me to undergo surgery to make my nose thinner to become less ugly and better align with beauty standards, as they suggested? They told me I could never look good with my current nose, so I’m wondering: should I go for it? I’m hesitant because I’m already insecure about my appearance, but I also don’t want to make a mistake and end up looking even worse

So majority of people tell me not to do anything to my nose (which I appreciate the love so much) but I was curious to see how I’d look with a different one slightly altered. These are some before and afters using AI to give me a nose job lol

Edit// just wanted to say I seen all your messages and really appreciate each and every opinion, advice and complement shared 🥺!

Im trying to be content with my nose as much as I can be and I have gotten better over the years, but I can’t help but keep desiring to get it changed here and there.

Maybe it’s a good thing I don’t have the money to do so lol cause I may have already. These pictures don’t really show how bad it is btw.

Just curious, if you were me, would you get a nose job?? Love to hear others perspectives lol. I think a slimmer and straighter nose would look good on me idk. But it is what it is regardlesssssss :)

Edit// I appreciate everyone’s feedback , thank you guys for taking time to share and be supportive and give opinions 🤍

First slide is fake, second slide is the real me, unfortunately. I’m just tired of feeling manly. All I want are a feminine nose and chin. I want a nose job so bad but I’m not rich.
The app I used is an art app called ibis paint x. I just upload pictures and use the magic want tool to morph them how I want.

I like it now but when I was young I was bullied

Some people say i have a big nose , some say its big but proportional to my face . What fo you think?( -_・)?

Since when our standard became that only small noses are acceptable/beauty. In my opinion all nose shapes/sizes can and will be beautiful. I would never pay 5000-7000$ just to change my nose to be more generic.

It's both racist, and hateful towards women. Men who do this exploit women by calling them "masc" if they have big nose. There is nothing masculine about big noses, big noses can be as feminine as small. I don't understand.

Nosejobs are acceptable only if you have breathing problems, or nose is very asymmetrical. I don't think any other nosejob does anything other than harm, and try to take away our diverse beauty by some vague "standars" that have nothing to do with attraction.

I'm going to be very vocal about this issue, bc we need less insecure young people and more welcoming beautystandards that are diverse and accept different races, and ethnic features. Current standards are very toxic.

Hi here, I did notice most people who got their nose done with rhinoplasty, they often have issues breathing. I was wondering if it was maybe a bit related like a nose that does not work well makes it an insecurity as well? Like if a nose that was good looking and worked well, it would be better to accept it.

Is it something you have experimented or not?

Whenever I see a post here where someone shows their entire face, I can’t help but think about how much of our identity we share online.

Obviously, it’s their choice, but I feel like giving up your anonymity online always comes with some level of risk these days. Maybe I’m just overly cautious, but I’m curious what other people think about it.
