I've been told by complete strangers that I would be really pretty if it weren't for my nose, and it spoils my whole face. As a little child, I hated the sight of my nose and I used to fill sketchbook after sketchbook with drawings of the perfect Grecian statue nose. Believe me, my nose is ugly. It looks like someone was sculpting my face, and when they got to my nose, they didn't bother to finish sculpting it, leaving a shapeless blob of clay. Trust me, it's hideous. I want so badly to be pretty, but my nose makes me feel bad about myself. and I desperately want rhinoplasty, but there are some problems. I'm 29 years old, my birthday is in May, and I'm concerned that I'm too old to successfully have the surgery. Furthermore, it's expensive, and I would gladly go without eating to get the surgery, but I realize I'm going to have to save my money, possibly for years. I'm so afraid that in a few years, when I have the money, I will be too old to be considered a candidate for rhinoplasty. I've read about the risks, and thought about it, and I want it very, very badly. I want to feel attractive, but I don't think anyone would ever be interested in someone with a big, flat, bulbous nose. Even if they were, I can't bear to go through life with it. Maybe I come across as vain and shallow but I am so sick of cringing when I look in the mirror. I can't bear to think that I might have to face a lifetime of cringning at my reflection.Can anything be done for me? Makeup doesn't help.

I think you are very kind but you don't know what I look like. There is a universal standard of what is considered attractive in a nose and mine is much too wide, and too bulbous.

YOU. you need to love you for who you are. Why do you have to change that! But if you really want to, aren't there charitys that are supportive of stuff like this? Look I don't know how to help tbh but still, good luck, you'll do fine x

I wish there were just some magic spell to fix it.
I think that my nose may be the result of an accident... when I was two or so, my grandmother accidentally dropped me and I suffered injuries when I rolled down the basement steps.
No one else in my family has a nose like this. My brother has kind of a hump nose, almost hooked... I know it's not the perfect Greek statue nose I long for but I would trade with him any day.
