BUT.... Everyone looks different in different pics and lighting. Everyone looks wider in some pics and slimmer in others. Even if you get it "fixed" you're still going to look different in different pics. My new nose isn't perfect in every picture. I can critique every picture I take thinking "my nose looks great but my teeth look weird" or whatever, but I cont keep finding things to "fix" just because a picture looks weird.

Step away from Instagram and tik tok. Stop worrying about pictures. Post pictures where your personality shines, and work on your self confidence. Your are more beautiful than you realize.

Same. I actually got a nose job when I was 18 and it made a dramatic difference in how my face looks. I started getting more compliments and attention from men as soon as I left the house. If there is a problem, plastic surgeons can sometimes fix things really well.

However, something about your post feels like your issues are more internal. You are obsessing and assuming that all your problems will be solved by this surgery. If feels like you will never actually be satisfied. What if you do these surgeries and your life doesn't change in any way?

I said I would do it for confidence. Of course I research everything and everyone thoroughly before I jump into anything. Reason number one why I would never be doing fillers or have a nose job filler

If you fix your nose, you'll notice you have a weird smile

Smile is fine. Currently in braces.

Same for my nose job at 21. Changed my life unbelievably for the better. No other plastic surgery.

My chin is small and symmetrical to my face. I don't have a large nose at all. It's small. I have never had any type of fillers or any surgery done in the past so these are small things that have been bothering me. I know the younger generations are more obsessed with their looks especially if they're on socials. This is nothing about dysmorphia. I think some tweaks here and there would make me FEEL more confident and happier.

They can’t make your nose bigger. You are risking jacking up a perfectly good, all be it small, nose for vanity. Watch how many noses they fix on the Botched show. That should be enough to scare you straight.

Get a consult. I've had 2 cosmetic procedures and I'm very happy.

Of course you are.

My friend was so much happier when she did this in college. But she was only concerned about her nose, not other features.

Which cosmetic procedures were they? Were they in this area? Any recs?

I would do it OP. I had huge breasts all my life and finally had a breast reduction at 40 years old. My biggest regret? Not doing it sooner.

I also hated my nose. If I could go back in time, I would have done my breasts and nose when younger. It would have been a huge boost to my confidence and morale.

Then maybe get a consult with a plastic surgeon who is extremely skilled with faces. Good ones will counsel you out if they think you are doing it for the wrong reasons.

Sounds like you are obsessing OP. I got plastic surgery as well but I had a huge diastasis. I looked pregnant and back hurt all the time. When i would lie down, my muscles were so far apart that my stomach would cave in. I really liked my plastic surgeon Dr Michael Olding. He actually rejects a lot of patients that come to him and is known to tell his patients that they don’t need surgery. Maybe go to him and see what he says. It honestly sounds like you spent too much of your time staring at yourself in the mirror and taking selfies. It may be a normal for your generation to do but it’s not actually normal. It’s probably why so many of you are depressed. This is a great Substack page. https://open.substack.com/pub/freyaindia?r=2sfza&utm_medium=ios I suggest you read it.

If you can afford it, and you think it will look better, then go for it. It's not particularly dangerous and it sounds like it will make you feel better about your appearance. However, I will say, when I was in my late 20's and single, I went for a couple of consults to get liposuction on my thighs (which are big) and I was going to go through with it- but then suddenly I was offered a job promotion at work and I literally completely forgot about the surgery for a long time. And when I did think about it, maybe 6 months later, I was surprised I had forgotten, and I didn't feel like my big thighs were such a big deal. So, make sure you are not just feeling unsatisfied with other areas of your life before you go through with this. I am still an owner of large thighs, and have made it to 50 with a successful career, and a husband and kids.
