I hate my nose so much :( My mom says it's alright for me to get it done so I'm planning on getting it down after I graduate HS in May. I have a list of surgeons I 'm interested in here in my town of St.Pete, FL and I've done alot of research. I'm just worried I won't be able to get the results that I want? My nose is very wide and bulbous with no definition WHATSOEVER and ugh i just hate it. I want a super cute tiny nose (I'll show pics n everything of my current nose and the nose that I want to get) I want to love myself and honestly I do. It's just my nose ... and that's rly the root of all the negativity I feel towards myself. I want to feel as confident and beautiful as possible before I leave off to college and eventually the real real world. I just want to know if I want is possible or atleast close to being impossible. I guess it is dramatic but I think dramatic change is what I need.

I decided I'll be getting an alarplasty thanks to some suggestions! I've gotten! Thank you so much everyone. And for the people telling me "you're so young!! ur nose is so beautiful.. stop trying to be asian etcetc" just stop. You aren't me and you never will be. I do not like my nose. And that's that. Instead of suffering and forcing myself to "accept it" begrudingly (which I've been trying to do for the past couple of years) . I'm going to change it.
Anyway, so I decided that I'm going to get an alarplasty because all I really want to change is the width after much thought. My tip and bridge are OK. I think a super pointy tip won't match the rest of my face. So, I decided to keep the roundess of it. But the width of it is what really kills me and makes me hate my face so much. I'll probably be getting the surgery around May or June? So stay tuned. Thank you!

Try downloading a free plastic surgery simulation app and see if you can create the look you want. Then you can more easily show your surgeon (and us) how you would like to look in the end! It's super important to make your intentions crystal clear to your doctor. Also, I mention this in my review, but go get a copy of Joan Rivers' book " Men Are Stupid and They Like Big Boobs". It lays out everything you need to know about how to choose a surgeon and has tons of helpful information.

Nothing wrong with having your own vision of what you want your nose to look like. Subtle changes are not everyone's desire. Some want dramatic changes and that's cool too. Just be sure to research carefully and choose a doctor who has the proven skill to deliver the look you desire, but also one who will not jeopardize functionality for the sake of aesthetics. (You also have to keep it mind that sometimes there are genetic limitations-- thick vs. thin skin. I wanted bold changes too, but my thick skin limits my choices). Whether you ultimately decide to just narrow your nostrils or go for bigger changes, I wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted dear.

Al last! You've taken a decision. But bear it in mind that alarplasty is not a child's play. find yourself a doctor who specialises in ethnic rhinoplasty. A poorly done alarplasty could leave you with a visible hypertrophic scar. Don't choose a doctor based on his previous review rather choose him based on his experience. I believe that the more experienced a doctor is, the more competent he becomes. We will be here for you in case you need a shoulder to lean on. Good luck in your quest for a better nose.

I totally understand loving yourself but not liking your nose. I felt the same way. I'm very glad you're here and sharing your experience. You may not be able to get a super, super thin, small nose (it all depends on your existing nasal structure and you don't want to totally sacrifice function for looks), but I'd be willing to be you can get closer to your goal nose. Please keep us posted on how it all goes!
