Decided against Rhinoplasty

I have been considering getting a rhinoplasty for years and I have met with Doctors. I have been getting mixed opinions from friends/family about the possible outcome.

I like the current shape of the nose but I have felt unsatisfied about the size relative to the face. My goal is to try to keep the natural shape but resize it to fit the face. The current nose fits the face well from the frontal view but any slight turn of the face and it appears to be too large. I have included photos of mostly turned face. Depending on the lighting it can look either too large or fine. I have also uploaded photos with shorter hair, that's when I think it stands out the most. I also uploaded an image I resized with Photoshop and 3D-imaging from Dr. Bitner, whom I am leaning to the most.

What's your opinion?

Thank you.

You look so handsome ! I like your natural nose better than morphs. It is more masculine and it fits you face better

That is so nice of you to say, thank you. Masculine would be better, thanks.

Your nose looks great already. Doesnt even need anything done to it.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

I agree with the previous comments. Speaking from experience of having two terrible operations to straighten a crooked nose. Things can and do go wrong and it's devastating. Mine was functional more than cosmetic and considered reconstructive for my first operation. Why risk it when you have a great nose to begin with?

You have a really handsome nose already that fits your face. I think a smaller nose wouldn't suit you, you won't get the exact same nose but smaller proportions if you have rhinoplasty. Your nose will completely change shape too.

Surgeons often don't go along with what was agreed in the surgery, complications can arise and you can end up needing a revision that doesn't always work either.

Thank you for your extensive comment and shared experience. I hope you are getting to where you want to be now with a good nose and health. It is important to consider that complications can arise, good point.

You definitely do not need rhinoplasty. You look great from all angles. Listen to your family and friends.

Thank you, family and friends were supportive but seemed to me like "do what makes you happy" type of support.

I think u should forget about any plastic surgeries. Perfect is an enemy of good. There's nothing which need to be changed in you..at least in my opinion.

There is so many better ways to spend your money.. travel for example. Go on a adventure if u need one:):)

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your encouragement. A lot to think about.

I wouldn't change a thing about your nose. Tbh I think shortening it will not fit your face. Your nose is not big, but it isn't small either. I personally find nothing wrong with it.
July 7, 2016
Thank you. I do feel like I over analyse my proportions.
July 6, 2016
In all honesty, I don't think you could get any plastic surgery. Your nose fits you well. It isn't over small but it isn't big either. It's the ideal masculine nose that I'm sure a lot of men wish for
July 7, 2016
Thank you. Masculine isn't something people tend to associate with me so I am starting to think I don't like my nose because it doesn't fit peoples perceptions of me. Which is more of a mental perspective than a cosmetic one.

Of course it is completely your decision, but I think you are very handsome and your features fit you well. I know debating whether or not to get plastic surgery can be hard when you feel so self concious but people around you don't understand why you want it in the first place. It's a big decision for yourself and if you believe you'd be a happier, confident, better you from it, then think about it. :)

Once again, I would not do any surgery. You really look good and I wouldn't change a thing.

Thank you. Wanted to upload the additional photos for those curious of closer up shots.
