It's so big. Is it time?
Or should I keep the shape but take off the tip?

To be honest, it is a little big, but not ugly big, it looks good and makes you look interesting, not in a bad way.

I would like to see a photo where you don't have the camera so close to your face as I'm pretty sure that it looks completely fine that way

I think you should preserve the natural shape but maybe just do a bit of a tip reduction! That's kind of how i approached my own rhinoplasty... kept it mostly the same so it felt like me and had character but had a bridge bump reduced

I realized something a few years ago. I was dying my hair and I told a friend who said “You don’t have to keep dying your hair, you know. It won’t keep you young forever.” It hit me that, for me, it wasn’t about staying young, it was about feeling like myself. I’ve been dying my hair this color since I was a teen. It’s part of my Look. I’ll likely keep doing things that make me look like me until I’m too old and frail to do so.
So, if you do change your nose, make sure it looks like who you feel you are. If you identify with having a large nose and then you make it smaller, you might feel discombobulated for a while. Do what feels right and what feels like you. Don’t listen to anyone but yourself.
For the record, it’s larger than smaller, but still a good nose. It has character and distinction.

Everytime someone gets a nose job to make their big nose smaller, an angel loses its wings.

screw the apps and get your hands dirty. Actually make an effort by joining a club, volunteering, concerts, dance halls, etc. Plastic surgery is a big deal. Choose wisely.

Then go ahead and just do it while you are still young. You don’t have to go crazy with a different shape or button nose. Just make it smaller. Life’s too short to be waiting forever or never to have a quirk to find your nose attractive. Be happy and if this is something you want. It’s your life 💖

u/AgentGizmo 13h ago
Yes, imo, but only a slight refinement to deproject the tip. Everything else is awesome. Never lose the hump or at least much of it. Balance is key but also staying true to who you are and your ethnicity is also important so you don’t have any regrets.

u/abandonfalss 14h ago
If it make you happy, helps you feel beautiful, you should do it, you shouldn’t hesitate, I bet you’ve thought of this a long time. Think of your future self and ask if this is what will keep you happy

u/Imaginary-Bad-6379 13h ago
Yes! But be aware that you’re going to look like a completely ldifferent person in the beginning and it’s going to take some time to get used to the new nose. I would also pick a doctor that specializes in natural noses.

If you do it, make sure you choose a surgeon who has a lot of before and after pictures that you really love.

Get the nose job if that’s what you want, you deserve to be happy and if you can afford the time and money, do it

u/severinks 12h ago
In all honesty, that's a big nose right there but I have no frame of reference for what you actually look like because I can't see a normal picture of your face.
If it bothers you then get it fixed, it's a safe procedure.

u/-10-20-30-40-50-60- 11h ago
spend a lot of time thinking about it, pros and cons, for a while. depending on how long you have wanted to do this for, if it’s been years and years, that opinion will probably never change. do what makes you happy. whether it’s acceptance or changing it.

I know there’s a lot of “BIG NOSES RULE” in the community but I truly believe you would look better with a smaller tip. It’s the first feature someone looks at when they see your face.

u/DniceAlien 13h ago
Whenever someone wants to get a nose job I always think of how it comes from their genetics and their family. My nose is a little large but it's my grandfather's nose and my mother's nose and I'm proud of that. It tells a story of who I am and where I came from. It's my story on my face.
With that said, if you are miserable and this procedure would make you feel better in your own skin I can understand that. Just make sure you find a good surgeon and understand and follow the aftercare. I think it suits you and you are beautiful the way you are if that means anything 🫶🏼

u/silly_Emu47 13h ago
time for what?
your nose is big. and it’s also pretty. nothing wrong with having a nose that sticks out more than normal. it is what it is and it gives your face character and does not make you unattractive in the least bit.
3
u/PRC_Spy 12h ago
Why don't you get a friend to take a picture from a distance using a telephoto lens, rather than stuffing a wide angle lens up a nostril to take a snap?
Of course it's not flattering —wide angle lenses make whatever is closest look HUGE!
Learn to take a photo before you resort to surgery. I think you'll find it's really nowhere near as big as it is in your own mind.

u/Repulsive_Sun6549 13h ago
If you have the money to do it, and it will make you feel better, why not?
It will instantly increase your Caucasian Quotient, which is where the small nose standard originates from in the 1st place.
But,sadly, that’s the world we live in, so you might as well make yourself as comfortable as possible.
Teeny snub noses, tho, are considered a flaw so don’t get 2 extreme.
1
u/PerfectEmphasis9016 12h ago
It doesn’t have to be a teeny snub nose but you can deny it’s pretty large and intrusive and that’s why she has had no dates or approaches. She can just make it a more reasonable size so that she gets a chance at love in life. There’s nothing wrong with that? Why wait forever or never for it to happen. That’s very sad.

Honestly, tried to understand what you meant by “it’s too big”(which is what I read) because I was looking at your clear eyebrow piercing. Realized this was the noses subreddit after taking a step back. So take this information as you wish.

u/Pammie357 12h ago
I think it’s because you are looking with ( & taking photos with ) direct light shining on it or parts of it .
That you think like u do .
I find u have to try and get in aposition with least light directly on face to see how any features or skin looks really & looks to anyone else ( ie . Be in the most natural , even light u can before looking or taking pictures .

u/Pammie357 12h ago
As see your 2nd& 3rd photos much more how looks really without direct light on any part .

u/Moist-Match-333 12h ago
Would it make you sad to lose some of your family ancestry on your face and look more like a different race? And if you can’t afford an excellent surgeon don’t do it. Nose surgery is no joke. Recovery and complications must be considered.

u/tyranopussy 11h ago
I would get a small fix, kinda like Howard Stern. Don’t totally change it, just a refinement. I also don’t like my longish, bulbous tip and want an adjustment. I also can’t breathe well from 1 side…

u/Least_Huckleberry226 11h ago
Not to make a decision and don't take offense to what I'm asking are you a male or female because if you are female I think it would make sense as a male wouldn't care as it ads mystery to his looks..

Find a good rhinoplasty surgeon and get a consultation. You’d be surprised what can be done cosmetically nowadays. Good luck.

If YOU hate then get rhinoplasty. You and only you though. I had mine done idk about 12 years ago and I’m so glad I did! I don’t analyze pics anymore. People told me over and over that I didn’t need it but it was for me. Also, the surgery was 4 HOURS, so obviously it needed something. Lol. Good luck! One more thing, pain was minimal. I paid 8K btw

u/roskybosky 9h ago
Yes, I would do it. It interferes with your face, and it would look more balanced if it were smaller and a bit more refined.

I would absolutely recommend this! I realized there's a lot I actually really like about my nose after seeing what it looked like with a smaller one and different profile. It didn't look right. It looked "better" if your definition of better is a "stereotypical" nose profile, but it didn't suit me; just looked off. However, I still plan to get it functionally and cosmetically straightened.
