Hi guys! I found this website couples months ago. I was referred by my family doctor to a E.N.T because I was having issues breathing and I was also having avid noise bleeds all the time. I know I wanted to get a rhinoplasty done one day because I've always hated how my nose sticks out so much. In highschool it never really bothered me but since highschool I have lost a total of 30 pounds, and I feel like my face shrunk which made my nose appear bigger. Also I have very sharp features and I feel like my nose is NOT complimenting my sharp jaw line and my chin!
The first doctor I was referred to honestly scared me. He was not professional whatsoever, I felt like he was in it for the money. He did not tell me any details about the surgery (I am having septo-rhinoplasty). Didn't explain the recovery time or how the process is done. This was a red flag for me so I decided this was NOT the doctor for me. Also he took my pictures with a ipad and with some app he made my nose straight (but it looked so bad). So I went to my family doctor and he referred me to another doctor. I had my consultation today. And I have to say, I felt so comfortable with him. This doctor took his time, looked at my nose, asked me questions. And afterwards he explained the whole septo-rhinoplasty procedure including, healing time, how many weeks I need of school or work, he went over everything! Afterwards he took some pictures of me on a camera and right away he uploaded them and showed me what my nose would look like afterwards. He explained to me that he needs to make my nose a bit wider so I can breath properly and he would straighten it out and refine the tip a tiny bit. I have posted pictures! What do you guys think? Does it look better or not? My friend told me it looked fake! I would love your guys honest opinion.
This is a big procedure and I feel like the people on this site know rhinoplasty inside out! :)

Hi guys. I'm so confused if I should go ahead with this. My sisters telling me it looks the same! I feel like it looks much better! The doctor told me he can make my nose thinner because I will have more problems breathing. Any comments would help! What do you guys think? Does the after pic look better? I think so!

Sorry, he said he can't* make my nose thinner because I will have more problems breathing. I think if it was thinner it would look odd on my face shape anyways

Hey! First of all, you're absolutely gorgeous. Thinning your nose would a no-go because it already plenty thin. However, I could see your overall face benefiting from de-projection and a very slight tip lift. Because you have a sharp jawline, the angle between the upper lip and nose can be more than 90 degrees. My PS told me the ideal falls between 90-110 degrees on most people. Think Angelina Jolie's profile. Take a look around other BC people's profiles on here and see who they went to. Would you consider traveling to the US for your procedure? Based on all the pages I've seen on here, what you desire is on the simpler end. Therefore, it would be hard to mess it up if you find a reputable PS even in Canada who does a lot of rhinoplasties.

Hi there! Like the others stated you are already so pretty! I could see him straightening the profile and like FerreroRocher said, a very slight tip lift. It's not a huge change but if it is something that you want then I think you should continue to do your research to see if this is something that you feel comfortable doing! It's a little hard to see the morph results from the photo you posted, but I get the idea! What about a non-surgical nose job with a filler? It would make your profile look straight plus they can do it where it slightly lifts the tip of your nose! Just a thought :)

Hey! I just got my cast off yesterday so I thought I'd offer my input. I know you probably want people to give yes or no answers if you should have a rhinoplasty, but ultimately you have to live with the nose after so take others opinions with a grain of salt. I was the same way and wasn't 100% sure if I should do it or not so I kept asking my family and best friends if I should. Everyone told me I didn't need it and that I already looked gorgeous. My sister said the EXACT same thing when I showed her my simulation from my plastic surgeon lol she said it didn't look different at all but I thought it looked so much more refined. Now she thinks my nose looks so much nicer than my old one. I think you're already pretty but could definitely benefit from rhinoplasty as long as you pick a great surgeon. :)

Hi! You are gorgeous so a subtle change is all that is needed in my opinion: a lift of your tip and smoothing down in the bridge. Generally people will say you don't need it (& you probably don't) but if it bothers you now, it will still bother you in 20 years time. After surgery it is likely that nobody will notice a change, but you will. My nose job involved some big changes yet most people haven't noticed as its the whole person that is taken in visually, not the nose alone. All the best!

Thanks for the sweet comments girls! I think I am going to just get my bridge straightened and tip lifted a tiny bit. In the picture you can't really see but the doctor did lift it a bit. I may get a tiny bit more done! Thanks :)
Thanks for starting your story! I think you're STUNNING right now, but I also really like your morphs. If this is what you really want and you have the funds, you should do it!
Here's what some doctors say about choosing the right plastic surgeon for your nose.
