I have had a complex about my nose for a long time...

I have had a complex about my nose for a long time. It started, I believe, my freshman year in high school. I remember switching from glasses to contacts and was made a joke by my classmates and the upper classmen. So from then on I decided to keep my glasses on my face to conceal my "snoz". About 3 months ago I had my laser eye surgery. Now I am seeing my nose more clearly and I still dislike it's appearance. I told my friends but they all say I have a nice nose. I tell them that because of my nose, I suffer from poor self-esteem. My feedback is: You should find self-esteem within. You're going to end up looking like Micheal Jackson. You want to look white? You are married, who are you trying to impress. I'm doing this for me and I'm going through with it. I have made up my mind. I have maybe 5 people who are cool with it. My best friend snitched to my Mom that I was considering it. She tried to talk me out of it. My sister is cool with it because she remembers how depressed I'd get. Recently I took my first step and got a consultation from "Liposuction & Cosmetic Surgery Institute" and the surgeon who interviewed me was Algrid Mameniskis. He seemed chill and knowledgeable. But I'm still researching. Peace!!

I've decide to pause on the ganja smoke until I've reached my goal. Wish me luck. Mary Jane is so expensive and I like to smoke everyday.

i think you look fine but i understand your concerns. i have the same issue. my nose flares out when i smile a tad too much and i want a more refined tip but i def want to keep my ethnic features. its a bit frustrating finding docs who produce great results on ethnic noses. have you checked out dr jason hamilton yet? he's in cali- too far for me but i would be willing to travel at this point. i had a consult with him a few months ago and i like his results on his website. he's really down to earth and realistic. i just want more options before i totally commit my nose to him so my search continues....i will be following your journey!

I'll be sure to check out Dr. Hamilton and his website. Thanks and good luck to you.

What's the "white man's air". This sounds kind of racist to me, and to answer your question Dr. Anil Shah seems to have a stellar reputation in Chicago and he's not white.

Title has changed. Sorry if I offended you but it is a line from a comic. Dave Chappelle said it in a skit when he played a black blind guy being a leader in the Klu Klux Klan. I have started following Dr. Shah and watching his videos. Quick to through out the racist card? Thanks.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. I wish you the best with your surgery :)

I understand it's a personal decision for you. I was the same way. I didn't let anyone tell me no for an answer. I got a rhinoplasty and unfortunately now I regret it. I hope you find a great surgeon and are happy with your results. Just my opinion, you already look better the those guys you posted. Your nose is nicely masculine and very appealing.

Thank you for your concern and support. I'm still looking and I will keep everyone posted.

I think you look really good with your current nose dude(in a completely heterosexual way). I'm actually trying to get a nose like yours as an upgrade from my basic European nose. -But good luck in your endeavors, and I hope it turns out well.

I just had to comment because that Dave Chappelle skit is hilarious :P
Seriously though I don't think your nose needs too much work - so go with a doctor who has a conservative approach and only wants to give you a slight tip and nostril reduction and you'll look great!
