I’ve dealt with a large, unattractive nose with a massive hump since puberty myself, but I lack both the funds and the nerve for an operation. My nose creates such intense complexes that I often feel there's no point in even bothering with makeup or styling, because it’s simply the one feature that dominates my entire face. To make matters worse, I have a thin, narrow, gaunt face—while the rest of my body is fine, though it seems my love handles have decided to settle in all the wrong places 😁—which only makes the nose stand out more.
Recently, I came across a product that supposedly has the ability to reshape the appearance of your nose... I know it's most likely a scam, but I’m so desperate to have at least a slightly better nose that I wonder if any of you have actually tried it? On the product page (I'm not sure if I should even mention the name), they claim that nasal bones are made of 80% water and are therefore easily moldable (?). I don't quite buy that, but then again, if it helps even a tiny bit... ☕ Has anyone heard of this?
Forget about it; bone is bone. If those products worked, why wouldn't people trying to get taller just use them instead of breaking their legs?
If money is tight, go see a doctor and ask for a referral to an ENT regarding breathing issues; research online which hospital does the best work and which surgeon is top-tier, and the problem is essentially solved. Of course, hospitals aren't going to perform delicate work on tiny noses; they'll mostly focus on removing a hump, narrowing it slightly, or perhaps lifting the tip so it doesn't look so long. Honestly, a nose job isn't that big of a deal. I remember when I went a month ago; the anxiety I felt walking into the hospital was incredible—I've never felt anything like it. Then they give you a bed and you wait. When it's your turn, they give you a shot in the butt to help with the nerves, and it works wonders; you completely relax. When you wake up, you have to breathe through your mouth. That first night is the worst part (though it isn't scary); a nurse comes into your room before bed and asks if you want something for sleep or pain relief, so you take it and drift off immediately, not waking until morning. You can usually head home the next day as long as you don't have a fever. Once you're home, you'll have increasing bruises every day, but it doesn't really hurt. After a week, you take the cast off and—voila! A new nose (even if it's swollen, you'll certainly notice the hump is gone, even if your whole face looks puffy). Once you remove the cast and the swelling subsides after ten days, you won't even look like you've had surgery. It's been a month for me, and I don't even feel like I went through it because there was no discomfort or pain worth remembering. Now I'm just sitting at home joking that I might go back for another one, since it went so smoothly (I say that just to tease them—they can't believe it's already been a month, and neither can I, despite the results being right there).
A nose job is really nothing special. Do it for yourself so you can move past that insecurity. No one will ever know you had surgery except your inner circle; they'll just notice you look better. The stigma surrounding the procedure exists mostly because of celebrities, making people think everyone who gets a nose job is superficial or chasing some unrealistic fame, without realizing how many of these procedures are done in public hospitals or private clinics simply because someone is struggling with deep-seated complexes and feels they don't meet certain standards.
