    Default Should I get a nose job? (photo inside)


    *Im on the left with the black tee shirt.

    Okay so I have been wanting a nose job for a while now. Im thinking I could use more of a bridge and tip, maybe slim down the nose as well (as in wideness/nostril area). Basically I want a westernized Caucasian esque style nose for lack of better description. You know the deal with most Asian people wanting white people noses. I have asked some people their opinions and some say it fits my face shape and others say a nose job can enhance my appearance if modified right. Just looking for some more opinions before I make a decision.

    Its just something thats been on my mind. I do accept myself but I dont see anything wrong with some enhancements...then again maybe thats not accepting myself then? Being Filipino, most of our moms and society and heck myself included want the western features, fair skin, pointy noses (Caucasian style) etc. I dont care much for being lighter skinned (I am happy being tan) but the nose thing always is on my mind. Its such a prominent feature on the face that it could make or break ones appearance. Then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Alright enough ranting. Thanks in advance for your contribution.

    U know what i love the asians the way they are... I guess asian nose is pretty cute. I cant imagine an asian with bony sharp edges or extremly small pointy nose etc...I have a lot of asian friends,i am a Turkish my features are different than them... However they always complain about being monolid eye type and noses.... ME.. i love how asians look innocent chinky eyes some of them have porcelen skin and nose type fits them actually makes them how an asian suppose to be... Its just me... i guess u are very fine.Lol u are pretty light to me by the way...

    I guess a lot of asians wanna look like Werternized ... i guess pretty asian girl with cute lipstick , perfect skin and oriental look maybe couple oriental tattoos way hotter than wannabe Americans... They look so funny ridicolus when they try so hard...

    you have a nice nose that's great for your face, not too flat not too wide and masculine. There's a lot of risk involved with nose jobs and if you insist on getting one please go to a surgeon who specializes in asian rhinoplasty and research research research so you won't end up having to get a revision. A forum that might be of help to you is makemeheal message board rhinoplasty section.

    Thank you for the input missplayful. Yeah its the the grass is greener on the other side/we want what we dont have thing I guess. You see Asians avoiding the sun, using skin lighteners ie. papaya soap etc. wearing power ranger face visors lol and the like. They see being dark as looking like a laborer and its not beautiful to them. They want the western noses and fair skin. Not all of em (its cheeky to say assume that) but most of my Asian friends (usually the girls, dudes either dont care or care very little) feel that way. Its like how we notice Caucasians always trying to tan and then getting sunburnt. Whites (again not all) wanna be tan, Asians wanna be white, it is what it is. Personally I avoid the sun because it ages the skin real fast, some vitamind D is good of course but thats usually why my Asian friends in their 30s can pass for 20s and the ones in their 40s can pass for 30s...its their skin. No leathery/wrinkled characteristics of a sun worshiper. Anyways thats straying off topic already.

    P.S. check out Hyori Lee...not sure if its natural but Asians (girls) would kill for this nose:

    Thanks LaurenAus. I appreciate the insight/link suggestion. I didnt even think about Asian rhinoplasty specialist, as you mentioned. I am sure they know how to make the nose fit the face taken into consideration Asian features. I was in the Philippines last summer for vacation visiting my mom and she wanted to get my nose done. I was a bit apprehensive at first and almost took the plunge but decided not to. Now I am kinda feeling nose remorse..lol. But at the same time I do feel that my nose is good enough for my face...the input and general consensus also reinforces that. (I posted on a bunch of forums and most are saying my nose is fine/fits my face as you mentioned).

    U know what i have Korean-Filipino-Thai friends yeah they use BB cream , they use 40 different products for anti-aging... But even some asian women a their 35-40 's looks so beatiful and surprisingly young...But for some reason they all complain about nose and eye shape. Some girls i know i swear they wear weird make up use some glue for defination of eyelids. So they would not look monolid! Jesus siriously why would they do that to theirselves??? I love how asian eyes look. Very exotic.Also Asians have the perfect hair i swear. Asians genes are good. I know filipinos tend to get more than due to being at tropical area... but who cares? Trust me i love asians i have a lot of customers i watch IRIS Korean tv show a lot hehehe And i guess Asian guys are sexy with tons of tattoos . if they do little martial art or can cook some asian i am all over them i WISH I COULD be Asian i would chill in kimono all day long and eat sushi and would brush my pretty Asian hair million times a day cause possible i would fall in love with myselfDD

    I just googled BB cream, seems a like a supposed cure/remedy all for blemishes and what not. Personally I like a little make up on women, caked on just doesnt do it for me. I guess the best look is to look like one doesnt even have make up on. Or if the girl can pull it off, no make up. For lack of a better description its just refreshing to see a girl not have a "second face" if that makes any sense. I know exactly what you mean on the monolid thing, my mom had something done so she could have that line/fold thing back on her eyelids. Shes really fair and has a pointy nose naturally, people dont believe shes Filipino and when they see me with her they think I am adopted lol.

    Lol thats some mad Asian love you got there, I dig it. But being Filipino its funny cause some Asians dont consider us Asians. I mean we are but they say we are the least Asian of the Asians haha. I guess its because we are usually brown, our last names are spanish, and our language sounds nothing like Chinese/Vietnamese/Korean/Japanese/etc. Considering we have had heavy influence by the Spaniards.

    Yeah Hyori Lee is korean. Okay just googled Hyori Lee nose job, didnt bother to click the links but theres a multitude of results titled "Hyori lee admits to nose surgery".

    *ok confirmed it, there are before and after pictures. She looked good before the nose job, looks even better now imo.
    Whats important is we ourselves feel good about our appearance, thats what counts the most.

    Oh yeah and I havent decided yet, as of now I am content. That view might change but all good. Interesting regarding the bb cream. Random but I asked this question on yelp (the nose job should I get it) and one dude said to lose the monchichi hair cut. I googled it and take a look lol


    And then scroll up, my hairstyle is very similar lol.

    I say go for it! I highly recommend my Dr. for noses, Dr. Gaon in Newport Beach. Go check out his before/afters for noses. His website is a little janky because he made it himself, he's super eccentric, but really good!

    Okay just took a photo right now, I dont think the sunlight was doing my nose justice ie. shadows/lighting conditions etc. Here is a shot in the bathroom



    And quite frankly as some have said, I realize now that my nose fits my face shape.

    Thanks Ill do just that.

    Yeah same here, well not exactly. I love sunny days, I just dont like being in the sun.

    P.S. Look into the papaya soap, all my pinay friends swear by it.

    Just in case you didnt know, pinay = filipina girl.

    pinoy = filipino boy.

    You definitely do not need a nose job IMO. I think you have a great nose compared to other Filipino ones Ive seen. But if it bothers you then you should do it, but make sure you go to someone who specialises in ethnic noses. Both my hubby and I have wanted nose jobs for a long time, but I guess its not something we've wanted bad enough to follow through, maybe if we won some money or something.

    black I just saw your new pic and yes!! Please just remain content with your nose and run in the opposite direction. Save your money for other things, travel, whatever. You wouldn't believe the amount of people I have run across who have to get a revision, or like their noses for a few months to a year and then see their noses change after awhile. A rhinoplasty is not like a boob job, it is the HARDEST surgery to get right, not cut and dry whatsoever. Even if the doctor gets it right which many times even the PROs screw up, the way your nose heals can affect the outcome. It is just not the type of surgery to take lightly.

    So if you actually like your nose which from your pics you honestly should, then I would say move on and enjoy life. Sorry for this rant it's just I've seen so many people who wanted a tiny tweak and horribly regret their decision and have to go back for SEVERAL revisions and are out thousands of dollars. And imo if you wanted to narrow your already nice nose and make it look whiter it would throw off the balance of your face.

    Jessie - Thanks for the input, I am not so bothered anymore and feel pretty content. Theres a lot of emphasis on specialty doctors/surgeons for ethnic noses and I know from one example the importance of that. Back in high school (senior year) a classmate of mine (Korean girl) had a nose job done. While the nose looked great, it didnt complement her face shape in the least imo. Most agreed as well but at least she felt good about it, thats all that mattered. But I dont think she went to an ethnic nose specialist, she was referred by her group of Caucasian friends and so maybe that doctor was better accustomed to doing white people's nose jobs. Yeah nose jobs dont come cheap, its an expensive investment in looks thats up to the owner to decide if its worth it or not.

    Lauren - Thanks for the heads up/eye opener, I appreciate your concern. I concur with everything you said and as I mentioned the nose is such a prominent part, its right smack dab in the middle of one's face for goodness sake. And thats why im thinking, my face is roundish/ovalish (I think thats my face shape) and if my nose was to be slimmer it might look skinny on my round canvas of a face. Maybe ill use that nose job fund money and get laser eye surgery to correct my myopia aka nearsightedness.

    Just popped into my head, Janet Jackson...Beyonce Knowles...they both had their noses done and in my opinion it made em look exponentially better. Granted being African American women, you wouldnt expect these two to have such pointy tips/high bridges unless maybe they are bi racial or mullato (I think thats the term).





    Thats just my opinion and since were on the topic of sniffers and this random bit popped in my head I just posted.

    oh and Halle Berry
