Hi everyone!
I've been considering getting a rhinoplasty for over a year now. I've done a lot of research and if I decide to go ahead, it will be with one of the 'top' surgeons.

However, I am not 100% sure if I should do it... I don't like my nose but at the same time I realise that it doesn't have any extreme defects so I don't know if I should mess with it. I'm worried that something may go wrong, even if I choose an experienced surgeon - obviously unpredictable things happen e.g. infection, bad reaction to the anesthetic, or I may simply dislike the result, I'm really pale too, and prone to scarring so I'm worried about the scar, as well.

My nose looks ok-ish on some pictures, and utterly horrible on others so I just don't known anymore! Any of you experienced a similar problem? Is it just because I'm not photogenic? Bad lighting? Poor quality camera? I've attached a number of pictures. As you can see, it looks ok-ish on some of them, and very round and bulbous on others. 3 of the pics have been taken with a professional camera (the ones with caption saying 'professional' - are these what my nose 'really' looks like, or are selfies more accurate? who knows....).

I'd really appreciate some honest opinions. Would you get a rhinoplasty, if you had a similar looking nose? No worries, I won't get offended so feel free to judge, haha. xx

I think it is beautiful just the way it is ! There are a lot of people that come out with more issues than before. Unless you are really having breathing issues...just my opinion.

Aww thanks that's so nice of you! Yes, that's true..... I don't have any breathing difficulties at the moment. But I read that some peoples breathing actually gets worse post op, even if they had a deviated septum pre op and got it fixed... That would be bad, since I suffer from allergies already anyway! thanks for input x

Thanks. Happy to hear that you like your new nose! Was the tip of your nose already round right after the op, or did the result of the op change? x

I had a bump and a round nose tip. I didnt discuss the exact result with my surgeon. I told him "remove the bump, and IFFFF you think you can reduce my nose tip with a natural result ok, but if you're not sure...DONT TOUCH IT" So when i removed the cast after 1 week i still had my round tip not smaller or bigger, just the same nose without the bump.

No. You have a nice nose. It's not worth the risk.
