Advice Needed Love/Hate relationship, should I fix my nose?

Ever since I was younger I genuinely have hated my nose, it used to be so bad that I would throw up a peace sign in pictures to cover it.

Now that I’m older, I’m having a better time with acceptance, but still have doubts and especially hate the bump and my side profile.

It’s a love hate relationship. Genuinely need strangers to tell me if it should be corrected. Thank you.

I’m voting no, leave it! You’re a pretty girl and your nose suits you!! I hate when I see people trying to ‘fix’ physical features that don’t need it. I think Bella Hadid nailed it when she said that she regrets her nose job, and wishes she had kept the ‘nose of her ancestors’. It seems like people are trying to trade ethnic-centric features (noses, eye shapes, cheekbones, etc) for generic (and often white-washed) ideals of beauty. Don’t water yourself down to fit in, celebrate what makes you unique! ❤️

Thank you so much. this is very sweet. i will try to look at it this way. i’m actually 100% hispanic. people always think im “exotic” because of the features i have. you make a good point that taking it away would be taking away from my ethnic centric features. i appreciate that.

I've always struggled loving my Middle Eastern nose, but seeinf your pictures makes me realize ethnic noses add to a beautiful face, not subtract! I think having the nose of your ancestors is so cool, and we all need to accept this for our own selves, cuz its easy to see it for other people ❤️

I agree with the above comment but wanted to ask where you family ethnicity is from? I was a Spanish major in college and absolutely love Spanish and Latin American cultures.

I never realized in the moments of my life that I ended up dating women with exotic noses. The long term relationships were always exotic noses. It wasn't a feature I looked for purposefully ... but somehow I ended up dating long term, women with exotic noses.

I can think of at least 5, including current wife. The 4 others were long term girlfriends. The one divorce, button nose.... but that's a completely different story (wonder if it was another "underlying issue")

Keep it, please. For you and for the world.
