This isn't a review this is more of an "I'm thinking of getting a nose job" post.
I've always had an issue with my nose after it was injured during some play wrestling with an ex boyfriend and after that I noticed it got crooked. It always bugged me how I looked like a different person from both side of my face.
Then I broke it a year ago from getting head butted to the face, got it supposedly popped back into place by a nose surgeon but I feel it looks even worse. I just want the bridge thinned out like the way it was, and possibly to straighten the nose since it leans to one side due to a collapsed nostril. I don't necessarily mind the slight bump I have in the profiles, I think they're unique and give my face character, it's just the oblique angles I can't stand. I know it's so vain of me, but I'm pissed that my nose looked halfway decent before and now it's been altered negatively. I'm just concerned if it's worth it or if I should just leave it alone, because I don't want it to turn out worse than it already is or turn out fake looking. I noticed that broken noses seem hard to fix.

If it bothers you then you should get it fixed. Just schedule a couple of consults and see what the surgeons say. You're pretty btw. Good luck.

I think you're a great candidate! Find a surgeon who is skilled at reconstruction, and perhaps is even an ENT, so you can be sure you'll look like yourself and breathe freely when it's over. Please keep us updated! xo

Have you considered filler? ie non surgical nose job? I had filler for a few years before i decided to take the plunge and go for Rhinoplasty and it is great.Only takes like 15-30 mins max and zero downtime and they can make your nose look fantastic.Good idea if you are not 100% sure you want to go ahead with surgery as they are not permanent and if you do not like the result they can inject a solution to dissolve the filler. Filler usually last between 9-18 months depending on what one is used. I had it to disguise a large dorsal hump on my nose. But i am 3 months post surgery and loving my new nose!! Best of luck whatever you decide x

You have a beautiful nose tip. My doctor is located in the main hospital. He deals with trauma patients often. Patients who had minor to severe injuries. He was able to fix my breathing and my hump. I felt comfortable choosing him because his work showed natural looking results and he dealt with worse cases like broken noses. Good luck in your search. You are beautiful already :)

I agree with sunflowers love, the tip of your nose is perfect and I'm glad you like your profile, as a little bump does give character. Be careful with surgery. My first surgery was to straighten my crooked nose and like you I had a little bump which never bothered me, I quite liked it. Persuaded by surgeon to have a straight profile. My tip was fine, he even said so but he still resected lots of cartilage and gave me a small pinched tip. Some surgeons will do what they want even when patient has expressed parts of the nose they like, they seem to forget this and go for a standard small nose. Pick your surgeon very carefully if you do proceed but you are beautiful as you are. I do think your face would have less uniqueness if you had the stereotypical nose job.

it's ironic how the before pic is better than the after pic in this case :'(

I'm trying to get my old nose back if that's even possible.

you are so beautiful and ur nose the way it is give you more beauty and doesnt distract from it. I wouldnt do any surgery if i was u because you will only need such a minumal amount that its not worth the risk. Maybe try using fillers to disguise the bump? All the best

Uif it hasn't been too long after break u shud go for it. If the boneshave ssettled into crookedness too long it creates chalkenges.. as bone has memory and will shift back. Talk to the surgeon about that risk. Happens a lot!

it's been almost 2 years since it's been broken, and "reset" but I still feel it's crooked. I'd like to get it fixed but prices for nose jobs have sky rocketed so I guess I'll just stay ugly with a busted nose. oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My nose looks very similar to yours and I'm going for it! Good luck in your decision. I think you are very pretty.
