I think those days are very long gone. When I was in high school in the mid-90s, I had a lot of friends who when they turned 16 suddenly had a “deviated septum” they had to get surgically corrected.
No offense to people who didn't see that, but I thought it was quite obvious. I will go out on a limb and say no one is born with a nose as "nicely" shaped and symmetrical as hers. That applies to her too.
the girl that vlogged her regret and said 'I could have avoided all this if I just loved my old nose to begin with' is so brave for posting her vlogs. I love the idea that she took a moment of regret and reflection of herself and decided to share it with the world, probably to try and help other people. showing the darker side of what can happen and how much she spent just to regret it
She is just getting through the process after surgery, it could be normal, just getting used to her new image, and she said her nose is still swollen, probably when she gets the final result she will be fine, she looks good.
@@ashleighcalvert8937I have BDD. I got diagnosed after my nose job. Everyone loves my nose now, but I hate it. I didn’t leave my house for a year because of the anxiety I had from my body dysmophia. I hated my old nose, but now I miss it ):
@@ashleighcalvert8937 For sure, the "I've been taking photos for an hour and haven't even gotten one" is a big sign. She looks beautiful with both and no amount of surgery will be able to help with our perception of ourselves.
This is why I can't go through with any kind of procedure and choose (even when it's hard) to love my body the 2ay it is. I fear that if I ever changed anything, I'd regret it just like that, and I would be disappointed in myself hard. There is a show in Australia (I think), it's about makeovers and there was a lady who got a lot of work done, when they revealed her to the mirror, she kinda went crazy. Love yourself, ladies, gents, and theys. Don't let anyone tell you, you'd be better off with anything else, not even yourself.
I feel bad for her. I hope she got professional help. Which is exactly what she needed, and not a nose job. I think a lot of people have been in the same situation as her.
If you think people crying regretting getting their nose changed is bad now imagine on a grander scale like changing your whole body and identity like tra*cough*erism. Who do you think is second to men when it comes to unsubscribing to life.
i will never feel for such privileged rich girls that would cry bc they can't take a cute photo for social media for an hour. none of the girls that get or regret their body modification surgeries for pure aesthetic reasons are ever valid. they are so privileged to worry about such 1st world problems as how their nose looks. give me a break
Noses are SO WEIRD. All of them. Noses are like when you think about a word too much and it starts to sound like it’s not real. Noses are the body part equivalent of that.
When I was in my 20’s after having kids, I scheduled a boob job. My mom said I should also get a nose job. I got a boob job and left my nose alone. 20 years later, I had the implants removed. I’m so glad I didn’t touch my nose. I no longer speak with my mom.
By chance do you happen to be a different ethnicity than her? My 'white' mother always made comments about my father's sides 'hook noses'...and how if I would've gotten that nose she would've gotten me a nose job as early as possible. She definitely has internalized racism towards Jewish people, despite marrying one and having a half Jewish child 😑
I got my mom’s nose, I’m so glad she taught me to love and accept it. I don’t think I would forgive myself if I erased the nose of my heritage, it’s part of my family. I’m so sorry she told you to change the way you were born, that is horrible 😢
I'm 15 and you have no idea how much this video is meaning to me, since i was 14 i remember begging and crying to mom to get me a nose job or to just put something in my nose to curve it upwards, i was so hideous about my nose, even posing in photos hiding it. Eventually found out my chin was a little too much behind my whole face so i began to do therapy for it and it was the best decission i've ever done, not only is that my nose looks more fitting to my face, it is the fact that i learned to ACCEPT and work on my self-esteem, and i was never the type of girl that got easily swayed by trends or beauty standards, but the simple fact that everyone makes it seem okay and something you MUST do to look prettier, it destroyed me. Thank you Steph
You won't even see your real, full adult face until you're about 30. Unless you have a structural issue or accident damage, do yourself a favor and leave it alone. x
I bet your nose looks fine to everyone else and there's nothing to worry about. Believe it or not, but for a successful long term relationship it's your personality that counts, not the shape of your nose or other physical attributes
When I was 15 (I'm now 33) this kind of nose was not a thing. Believe me, I was called "pig nose" so often for having the tip of my nose up (naturally) and I was sooo traumatised! And than, all of sudden, it's a thing. As you said, it's just a trend. Don't fall for it! Love yourself the way you are, show this to others and they will see and appreciate! And hopefully, as Stefanie, you can influence your friends to love themselves as well. ❤ teenagerhood is bloody difficult, but it will get better.
Hey, I'm going through something similar rn where at first I thought it was my nose that was too big but then realised my chin had been slighlty far back compared to the rest of my face. I'm currently getting invisalign to fix my overbite and bring my jaw forward and was wondering what therapy you were talking about? Thanks for sharing btw :)
I dislike the "as long as they're happy" response. Happiness is fleeting. What will make you happy one day can change the next day. Also, the barbie nose just gives me whoville vibes and borderline uncanny valley
@@Moriendii Well duh the video mostly provides examples of people who regret it or had a bad nose job. There are also tons of people out there who ARE happy with their nosejobs. And having something you've been insecure about your whole life being corrected CAN benefit you for the rest of your life.
@@designateddoser7651 What a dumbass comparison. I've had a nosejob to remove a bump a few years ago. Only plastic surgery I ever underwent. Are you saying that means I fall into the same category of people with a genuine mental illness. To say that those people are 'happy' is insane.
To me it's actually a comment people make to avoid having a serious discussion. Okay but what if they're severely mentally ill and what they actually need is professional help but they don't have the self awareness or insight so instead they carve their faces up?
tbh you’re literally going to be better off with beauty standards if you just DONT do any kind of plastic surgery, trends change too quickly these days to justify such a change for me tbh
Seriously. Strategic makeup for the face and padding/corset(/spandex in modern days) combos as needed for the body is the tried and true way we've dealt with beauty trends since they became a thing. I don't see why we shouldn't go back to that approach.
For real. I grew up in the 'ew, bushy/thick brows are grooooss" era AND thru the "I am going to define, fill and contour my brows into caterpillars" era. It was.... an experience. And the "skinny is king!" flipping into "THICC or nothing" was also weird. Humans are fickle with trends. No matter how much you change yourself, you'll only have a few years at best until you're out of fashion and 'ugly' again
Stephanie, I kid you not, whenever I feel insecure about my nose I remember that one video of yours where you explained that noses have evolved to fit our surroundings and our body, like people who live in hotter parts of the world that are closer to the equator will have bigger and wider noses as the air is denser or something. And that always makes me feel better
The prettiest person I know has not a conventional beautifull nose and I have almost a perfect nose, yet she is much more beautifull than me. So just know that. You do not need a certain nose to be beautiful
I don’t want to invalidate what you’re saying but I ethnically come from a hot country and me and everyone in my family have tiny noses however we also have tiny facial features so a big nose would look weird.
I used to want a nose job so bad. I was always so insecure about it. It is my mom's nose but I still wanted to change it. Then my mothers cancer got worse and worse until she passed away this January. I am so proud of that nose and for no money in this world I would ever change it. ❤
What gets me the most irritated when it comes to this topic is the way they make light of surgery. Surgery is scary, lots of bad things can happen; reactions to anaesthesia, infections, blood clots, nerve damage and more. As a cancer survivor I have had to undergo several surgeries, and it was terrifying, but if I didn't get them, I would die. So the idea of people, especially young people, being so insecure about their looks that they are CHOOSING to get surgery done, it's heart breaking. No one should be risking their life and your health for temporary beauty standards.
Exactly. Surgery is so scary, I would never do it for frivolous reasons. I'm grateful for emergency lifesaving surgery, like when my son's appendix ruptured, and many other similar situations of course. But it is always a risk.
YES. I actually have to go under anaesthesia for the first time in my life next week, for a small bladder procedure. I'm shitting a brick about it, absolutely terrified. I don't understand how some people do this dozens of times for cosmetic reasons 😬
100%!!!!! My sister had her nose done as soon as she was 18 and she almost didn't wake up from the anaesthesia... very scary. Put me off ever wanting to go under the knife!!
Playing the sims made me never want to get a nosejob. Why? No matter how many times I adjusted the nose: it never looked good. I decided then an there that noses will never be beautiful, so no need to change a nose that is already ok.
Playing around in almost any videogame character creator can actually be super helpful for understanding facial balance and how changing one part can throw everything off.
@@TheWorstPartyMember god the way i would spend hours on Dragon Age: Inquisition's character maker just trying to make my perfect Trevelyan or Qunari. 😂 i would get tired by the time it was time to play the actual game.
Same and playing sims made me really like different types of noses. I love a big round noses. Sims really do be making you have relaxation at 2 in the morning.
@@user-xr3ok6nm2o I agree that it's a nicer way to look at it, but there is a reason I call them "ok" at best. It's giving me room to say "This body part is actually not good looking." Sounds kinda counter intuitive, but it's making it so I can find something ugly, while still accepting that part for what it is. Saying something is imperfect, implies that it can be perfect. Just calling something ok at best, limits the possibility for it to ever be better than ok.
@@coricognitionsnah, facial feminization surgery is just as bad, it just promotes stereotypes of what a woman looks like. There’s no single look for anyone, so no, trans doesn’t matter here either 😂
I'm a man and had upper eyelid surgery when I was 22. I regret it deeply ever since and can relate to the girl crying over her old nose so much. I have been there so many times wishing I could get my old eyes back. Thank you for sharing these stories; it helps to know I'm not alone in this experience!
My mom told me ALL the time how beautiful and pretty I was, it didn't help me at all bc I simply did not believe her lol.. Sometimes the self resentment is just too deeply rooted... I tell my daughter every chance I get how beautiful she is too, hopefully it'll do more for her than it did for me though..

Not really, once a person goes into the world and they witness they're not treated the same as other people who are more beautiful than themselves, they'll easily know they're not beautiful like you said. It actually might make things worse, instead tell them they may be ugly but thats okay.
I can't help it but feel like the "empowerment of women to get plastic surgery" is a pretty damn convenient movement for the multi-billion dollar plastic surgery market ... And not so much for the women
Yes, very moronic also, when people say: "Well it's their choice!!" Yeah and somehow everyone makes the same choices when it comes to plastic surgery, it's almost as if they're being influenced somehow...as if choices aren't made in a vacuum....🤔
9:08 this is literally the most heartbreaking, from her showing her nose with pride calling it the “og italian nose” to her post nose job crying. it looked beautiful on her.
I'm glad she recognised how much it actually suits her other features, which all combined really make up her pretty face. I also wouldn't change it if I was her! So sad we can never see us the way other people do
It’s so sad to see these girls crying over not being able to look good in a picture. Social media truly hurts people so much. It’s not worth it. Girls please don’t do these things to yourselves. No fake plastic nose is better than your unique natural one. I feel so bad for the Geordie Shore girls. I used to watch that show as a teen and I can barely recognize them. Charlotte, Marnie… what have they done? 😢
Not chronically watching TikTok and instagram reels helped me a lot. No matter how confident you’re if you bombard your brain with hundreds of images a day you’ll form insecurities.
What they also don't realize is how the camera, esp close up cell phone ones, exaggerate features, make youR nose seem bigger and more prominent! This then drives them to fix it or, can filters really change shapes of features?
One time a drunk man came up to me and asked if I had a nose job because he's never seen such a beautiful perfect nose lol. Since then I stopped thinking something was wrong with my nose! It's amazing how far a compliment can go for self-esteem. I try to compliment people more often now.
The same thing happened to me! I had a guy friend tell me in seventh grade out of the blue that I had the perfect nose. I was never self conscious about it again. If Zeph thought it looked good, then that was good enough for me.
I was told by a model agent if I trimmed my nose I could be a model in my early 20's - I told them to piss off - it is my fathers nose. Never wanted to be a model anyway! BE YOURSELF! xxx
Because of your videos; I skipped getting permanent liner, lip tattoos, accutane and botox. I am 31; I use SPF 50 every day, I take skin supplements instead and looked for the causes of my skin issues rather than coverups and quick fixes. Thank you Steph.
I agree. Except Accutane is not "a quick fix", nor a "coverup". I use SPF since the age of 20, and have been taking care of my skin since I was 10. Always had flawless skin. Now, after using facemasks for Covid I developed acne for the first time in my life at 28. Now, at almost 30, having tried every acne-prone skincare routine under the sun, I need Accutane because my acne is too severe. I didn't choose it. I *need* it.
@@mermaidmoon2254yup same. And I’ve been off accutane for over a year and my acne hasn’t come back. After so many years of struggling, it was def the right thing to do and shouldn’t be compared to plastic surgery. It helps so many people.
Urg, why you so bothered about what someone else does with their own body…? I turn 40 next year and I’ll be getting Botox…if someone is feeling a bit insecure about themselves then a bit of work done is fine, maybe get a new hobby and worry about yourself rather make comments about others…
I’m a child of the 70s 80s and 90s. There was always some sort of pressure to be prettier, taller, skinnier, etc social media may speed it up a bit, but insecurity thanks to mass media has existed forever.
I had a medical nose job in 2015, because I broke my nose as a child and now my septum had a 45° kink in it, which made breathing super difficult. the ENT surgeon asked me if I also wanted to have it changed „aesthetically“. I said no, he was absolutely flabberghasted why I would refuse a „cuter“ nose.
Yeah, my mother had a similar choice to make (she had polyps, benign tumours as far as I understand that blocked her breathing) and she decided to keep her nose shape. She does not have a “conventionally beautiful” nose. I’m really happy (as she is) that she kept her natural nose because it’s one of the characteristics that make her what she is
Something similar happened to me. I had a deviated septum and I had too much trouble breathing so I had surgery to correct it and they asked me if I wanted a nose job and I said no. After a few years I still have my bump and the septum is not completely straight but so much better and I can breath which is the most important part.
I’m having a medical rhinoplasty for a deviated septum soon, and I’m so grateful I went to a plastic surgeon that specializes in medical reconstructions. When I asked him not to change my nose shape, he gave me realistic expectation but accepted that I want minimal cosmetic changes.
That is not a good surgeon. I literally had plastic surgery for aesthetics and my surgeon still didn't try to sell me on more procedures. He even did the opposite by stating, "you are NOT big, you don't need this, you don't need that," he totally could have encouraged me to have my thigh skin tightened, or stuff to my upper back. My nose is a bug Greek one. The list goes on for what a predatory surgeon could point out on me
I think the saddest part is how everyone is just morphing into the same person. Am 37, so not even that old in the grand scheme of things, and i remember teen mags from 20 yrs ago which would give tips on highlighting our own unique features. Eg. If you have deepset eyes, wear your eyeshadow like this...if you have xx face shape, wear your hair like that...etc.
I think the 2000s were pretty bad too. There was a lot of push to get boob job and be very skinny. That magazine advice you mentioned was not meant to highlight the wide set eyes or round face but to make it look more towards the norm. I was 18 in 2000. And wish I wouldn’t have been influenced by those beauty magazines which of course were not out to help me but were controlled by the greedy beauty industry.
Not for everyone- some people stay satisfied with their first; my aunt got her nose done when she was 20, and she’s never touched it since cause she’s happy with how it came out 🤷🏻♀️
I had one and done because I was insecure about my nose since the age of 8. (I told no one about it.) Ever since then, I feel more confident. That confidence changed my life for the better. But I can see how social media would have people do more than one.
God no, filler in the nose is such a bad idea to promote. It’s such a tight space, placement is super tricky. It’s so easy to block vessels and people get necrosis from it. Just no.
Also filler migrates so it will even out, make your nose bigger, and you have to get more to "fix" that -- meaning it will just even out & get bigger again
I was so insecure about my nose when I was a pre teen cause a family member told me never to turn my head in photos cause I had an ugly nose. Fast forward, I grew into my nose and I absolutely love it
So sorry they said that to you. I know what it’s like to be insecure about your side profile. Happy you found peace with it! Everyone is unique else the world would be dreadfully boring.
Gosh , I with family members wouldn't pick on other family members features. Can't stand the thought of making my child feel ugly , or any child. I'd want to do whatever you do to help your child not have these insecurities. I'm trying to address this stuff with my daughter and it actually frightens me that I'll somehow unintentionally make her feel insecure.
Sometimes we look a lil wonky till we get older. Just like some look better without puppy fat, while others absolutely glow from the inside out with extra weight 💜
I hated my nose for years and always wanted to "fix" it. Than on New Years Eve I looked into the mirror and was like: Huh... my nose is nice! Glad I never got the chance to go under the knife.
Ditto! I have an Irish button nose that is smashed at the bridge from a tennis accident 20 years ago. I use to hate my nose until I began assisting in rhinoplasty surgeries. Now I love my smooshed bridge! Seeing how plastic surgery is REALLY done and not just the videos surgeons are willing to post will completely turn you off from going under the knife. A lot of the surgeries are repeats/repairs.
@@samisparkleheart "growing" into my face. I also started to love myself more. My ex pointed out that my nose isn't straight while we were brushing our teeth. It wasn't malicious from him and he wasn't being mean, but I could never unsee it after that.
that young girl crying about her nose is devastating. luckily her doctor did actually do an amazing job and she looks super cute. good for her for sharing.
@@hairiseverythingoh wow it’s actually Gabbie! Tbh I was surprised to see her commenting here I thought she was like a legend that disappeared from RU-vid to go live life. It’s a shame I wasn’t a part of that era of RU-vid
Dearest and sweetest Stephanie, You helped me in breaking free from the prison of comparing myself to instagram models when they themselves dontlook like that. You literally helped me gain confidence through your content. I wish for you and your family, the purest and wamest form of joy, love and blessings. I love you and thank you.
I once asked my esthetician if she does hyaluronic acid nose injections. She denied and explained, that it’s a very dangerous area to work on and there are a lot of big blood vessels. There’s bunch of complications after such procedure
I heard it’s extremely painful too. I’ve had filler in other parts of my face but decided to pass on the nose. (Jawline around the ear felt the most pressure)
This is true. The area is considered a danger zone and you can cause blindness if not done correctly. It carries higher risk than standard cheek and lip filler.
i started getting filler nose injections 2 years ago, very very very tiny amount (not even a ml), 6/9 months between injections, i never experienced complications, i love my esthetician he always encourage his patients to take things slow with no rush and to focus on sigle tiny injections to prevent migrating filler. I recommend finding a professional that really is willing to do things slowly and mindfully
You are so pretty! Please don’t feel insecure. People wouldn’t notice at all. It’s just us who are so hyper vigilant. You have one body. Don’t hate it. It’s your home.
Same here sis but trust me you’ll grow to love it as you grow older. I view my nose as a unique piece of art instead of a problem that needs to be fixed. Carry yourself with elegance and appreciate life. That type of beauty will radiate out and will be better than ANY nose job.
It just makes me so sad because our noses are something that our parents gave us and people are changing it to fit into a beauty standard which will change in a few years
I havd my grandfather's nose, as do my sister, our cousins once removed, and now my 2 children (they have their father's eyes and brow.) The way you carry your ancestors with you should be something to be glad of.
Problem with rhinoplasty is that it's unpredictable. You could look fine for years, and then suddenly, your nose could colapse. Out of nowhere. And it's no one fault. It's just that this surgery messes up the structure of nose, and it can turn out quite well, or it could colapse, deform or close and leave you miserable. That's the risk of this surgery. And we really, really need nose to breathe.
There is also the fact that if you mess with the nose's cartilage, the whole thing will start to shrink after a decade or so. Which is probably why one of the girls in the video had a first "very conservative" nose job: a plastic surgeon that knows what he's doing will plan things with the long-term result in mind, probably in some 5 years she would've naturally got exactly what she wanted with no more shrinkage, sort of like how good tattoo artists make tattoos that look darker at first, so they last longer. But she messed with it, so enjoy the Voldemort nose in 5 years love😂
I'll never get over the makeup trend almost a decade ago when video tutorials on how to contour your nose were calling it the "mj nose" unironically and it was something so coveted. Wtf.
I literally wanted to cry seeing those photos of lana because my nose is just like her original one. Thanks for including that bit, I really needed to see that 😭💖
It’s strange but the more I see people altering their noses, the more it makes me love my big Italian honker lol I love that I look unique! I never thought I’d say that ❤
My husband is insecure about his nose but I love it! It’s a person’s signature of their Side profile!!! It’s like a facial fingerprint each nose is unique ❤❤❤❤
Hi, I had one 2 years ago. Do I look beautiful now? Yes. Did I look beautiful back then? Also yes. Do I regret getting it? Every time I look in the mirror. I may be actually getting compliments now, but the disconnect you feel towards the new nose messes up your head. I needed therapy to accept my new face. I'd say that if your nose is functional, don't touch it. Surgery can and will mess up the health of your nose in the future. I may look and feel beautiful now but I seriously regret it and wish I had my old nose. It's a very complicated feeling.
@@eveandaedrul thank you for sharing that! I feel like the more people talk about their experience, the more I don't think I REALLY need it. And I'm sure you were beautiful then and now❤
@@eveandaedrul No one talks about how bizarre it is to see a different face staring back at you. I kept my overall nose shape but had my inner nasal bones corrected/removed/repaired. My facial symmetry still changed a lot and it really messed with my head for about a year after surgery. I am very happy with the results and I feel a million times better… but I also had to work through my feelings about the changes in therapy.
As a teen i hated my big nose. Then grandma had most of her tiny nose removed due to skin cancer. Mum is now facing the same procedure. I’m totally ok with my big nose now. It works, and it suits my face. Love what you have.
i feel so horribly awful for those girls who regret it. My stomach legit hurts for them that would suck so bad cause you cannot ever get the nose back. once it’s gone it’s gone
thanks to you i just found out that i have breathing problems. i was always insecure of my side profile cause my chin is further back than the rest of my features, but now i understand why i have dyspnoea. im looking forward to getting myofunctional therapy and get my shit together. cant thank you enough
Sadly myofunctional therapy won’t change your face structure… that part of the video was extremely misleading. I know because I’ve been through both a tongue tie release and months of myofunctional therapy. It absolutely will not change the way your jaw is aligned, only surgery can do that. :( You can also look into the MARPE tool. This is amazing for improving jawline aesthetics and functionality. Best of luck to you though, I hope you find something that works for you!
A huge hug to the Italian girl. Her OG nose was perfect I thought that was the after procedure I’m in shock. It looked PERFECT nothing wrong at allll, and the nose that I would LOVE instead of what I have. It’s insane that people think that a person not having a ski slope button nose is considered as automatically ugly.
Dentist here. We typically call the ‘adenoid face’ a type II occlusion (the way the teeth bite together). This can either be skeletal or dental. Skeletal can be improved if intercepted during growth spurts however may need revision later on depending on the severity. Dental is a little easier to correct with just orthodontics. A lot of people with this type of occlusion can either have a prominent maxilla (upper jaw), a recessive mandible (lower jaw) or a combination of the 2. However, the recessive lower jaw can unfairly make the nose seem more prominent. I would encourage those considering surgery to also ask their dentist/orthodontist about their facial shape as a second opinion. In addition to the breathing issues: is it the chicken or the egg…. Did the breathing issues cause the development of a type II occlusion or did the genetically present type II occlusion hinder the development of nasal breathing.
I think the effect of mouth breathing can be a bit overblown and sometimes it’s genetic. You could also be doing it in your sleep if you have a nasal blockage or restricted airway without realizing it.
@@catcat2607 Thanks. I always wake up with my mouth closed, so I doubt I breath through my mouth while I sleep. I ended up looking this up on ChatGPT and it says it can be just genetic too, or caused by bad posture.
I appreciate your comment as a dentist. I have a receding chin like my father's side of the family, so genetic. I'm self conscious about it as I don't look like most people. I can't just go and get it 'fixed' at my age. Stephanie has banged on about how people need to accept themselves, but more or less told us (the receding chin folk) that we are unattractive! I feel sorry for any young impressionable person watching this as it's hurtful.
These poor girls. All noses are absolutely perfect because there's something that happens when you smile and laugh that people who love you will adore and cherish without you ever knowing.
Right! I caught my tween daughter staring at herself (for about >3 minutes) and she whispered “wow. My forehead is so big” and I told her that WE ALL LOOK WEIRD if we stare at ourselves too much and we start noticing MINOR things (such a my eyes are different sizes, my ears are not aligned - which explains all my crooked glasses!, foreheads and hairlines are ODD looking and no one is “perfect” looking at all! ) she laughed and said, “you’re right. Faces ARE weird” and happily walked away.
@@okoala62That is such a sweet story.We need more supportive mothers like you in this world. Kudos to you for instilling confidence in your daughter ,especially in this age where girls feel enormous pressure to conform to ridiculous beauty standards.
I have a receding chin and was a mouth breather as a child resulting in poor and almost nonexistent jawline... Yeah I need surgery to balance it out and I will get an apnea test done at one point too to verify that as well
Stephanie I normally like your videos a lot but please don’t recommend filler nose jobs. They are very dangerous and often cause necrosis. Many surgeons have advised against it. Please do your research a bit more on this.
The more you think about helping another person or (child, animal, family, organization, volunteering, just holding down a job), the less you will focus on your self and your perceived problems.
Ashley Tisdale, however, wrote about changing her nose for medical reasons and being absolutely torn in tabloids when she was so young. I think stories like those are important too!
I'm less than 2 months post op and I needed surgery because I was having trouble breathing at night. I showed my surgeon a photo of the nose that I would like to have and he opted for more natural-looking results. Is my new nose esthetically perfect? No. But I am so elated with how it turned out and how I am resting better at night. Thank you for pointing this out!
I genuinely find people with unique features so beautiful. The fact that people feel pressured to look like other people is very saddening and I genuinely hope people learn to appreciate their natural features because that's what made for them.
speaking of jaws and dentists, it is absoloutely shocking how much a bite problem or jaw issue can change your nose COMPLETELY, look up befores and afters of div 2 malocclusions, and look at the nose!
it’s so heart breaking because the issue isn’t their nose it’s their head,, even once they get a nose job it won’t make everything perfect because it’s face dysmorphia
Former surgical tech here. If you're ever thinking of plastic surgery, understand that the videos and photos posted by surgeons are a small fraction of what they really do. The reality is that surgeons dont actually know how a nose will look after healing. During the surgery, tissue swells and skin turns red. Imagine sculpting clay that is moving, oozing, and swelling. Even during the final suturing, the layers of skin being closed are thinner than the suture needle. Plastic surgery is an artform but the industry and medical schools do NOT treat it that way. FYI depending on where you go, you will have medical students and residents coming in and out of your surgery just to throw a suture or two for the practice or to add to their mandatory case count and ANY surgeon, medical doctor, or dentist is allowed to perform plastic surgery. Plastic surgery includes everything from carpal tunnel release, ingrown toenails, major burns, cosmetic procedures and even the reconstruction of the skull (mostly done on infants with deformities impeding their brain growth but is considered plastic surgery and typically done with a neurosurgeon assisting). If you want the truth of what happens in surgery, dont tall to the doctor, talk ti the nurses and techs. The reality is plastic surgery, knee and spinal surgeries are never one and done. You are almost guaranteed to need a revision or replacement as you age because your body is not stagnant. Forcing this complex organic robot to conform is like holding the ocean back with a teaspoon. Just let it go and keep swimming... ❤
9:35 While I didn't got a nose job, I did got a boob job. Not to make them bigger or smaller, but it did have to do with their shape. And what she said there, the "what did you do?" comment cuts me very deeply honestly. I can't explain the regret, the shame and that feeling of "I did this to myself." It's a tough spot to be in.
So sad for the girl crying around 9min in.... she looks so beautiful but everything she's saying also so on point and valid and I'm glad she shared it. I hope she loves her nosejob now..
thank you so much for addressing this. it's becoming such a problem where im having to block people and delete apps where i see people trying desperately to spread their insecurities like a disease. instead of getting help, people will turn to social media and find company for their misery. 🤦♀
I only watch these videos because of you, Stephanie. I like the way you talk and what you say, you're a voice of reason in all this plastic surgery hysteria. And I'm very glad you did NOT change your nose. It's perfect!
HOLY SH-. Ok, I always thought Lana's nose was so weird and ugly, like almost deformed and non-existent? IT THRNS OUT SHE HAD A PERFECT NOSE AND SHE DESTROYED IT???? My mom did that exact same mistake btw 💔
@@aliciamichelle955 no way, I think she got filled but not ONLY fillers, the tip looks absolutely different from the original nose... It must have been a nose job 100%. Her nose was similar to mine and my mom's family, kinda like a "Greek nose" with the tiny bump protruding from the bone and also the tip going a little bit downwards... That much cannot be changed by simply injecting filler
13:00 this whole section is very inaccurate - You cannot move your lower chin forward with myofunctional exercises. What you’re describing is actually a far more intense surgery than a Rhinoplasty, and it’s called MMA (Maxillomandibular Advancement). I had it done and the recovery was an absolute nightmare, with multiple fractures and infections. And no, a “good dentist” cannot do this either. Just posting this for anyone who sees this and thinks they can move their jaw forward with exercises… That’s not going to happen.
eeeh... orthodontist assistant here... you just described one of many problems that can cause this look with small jaw and "Fallen" profile. You can have this look and never ever had a problem with breathing etc. Often its just mixture of dna and asymetry of lower and upper jaw, or wrong angle of growing jaw. There is the thing: if you are not a kid you cant fix it now by excersises etc, you are not growing anymore. So u have few options have to fix it. U can get braces, but braces wont fix your facial features, in some cases they can even protrude your upper and lower lip. So we have to do bimaxilary surgery. Yes, you hear right, surgery. Its even bigger surgery than rhinoplastic and you also have to wear braces alongside. There is no easy solution.
It's sad because people also believe that jaw surgery will fix all of their problems too, since it can help balance the face and reduce asymmetry. On sites/forums dedicated to improving looks, people are so quick to suggest jaw surgery as a solution like it's not a huge procedure
I remember when I was a kid and teen my nose was my biggest insecurity. If that version of me only knew that every woman in the media has a nose job and my whole perception of what normal nose looks like was skewed
i was super self conscious about my nose as a kid - as noses go its pretty out there; but my face grew into it. as stephanie says - noses balance out our features and work for our faces. i dont think i love my nose - but i like the look of me; i like looking like me and being unique; so my nose is here to stay!
@@killer_queen4062 No just don't act one thing is better just because it's natural even though it's basically the same thing I just think that's kinda rude
I'm glad you mentioned the issue of underdeveloped jaws making the nose appear larger! The issue of underdeveloped jaws is getting more and more prevelant (due to use of pacifiers/softer diets/blocked sinuses etc). It's good people are becoming more aware of the importance of airway health!
An ex told me one day (inbetween the love bombing) that my nose "could be more button". Every compliment was countered with a criticism. "Youre too boney in bed. Your boobs are saggy. If you were a man youd be bald (like him). Your banter isnt as good as Xs" It gave me so many complexes including a desire to change myself with surgery, but I decided to dump him instead, win-win right? Super strange how he wanted me back.
Not only fix ur breathing, also fix ur bite, unbalanced bite (skeletal class 2 or only orthodontic cases), atypical swallowing... These features could've been developed in childhood (growing ages) due to poor tongue positioning. (All this is in reference to when we talk about the chin at minute 11:56). I defend a lot the orthodontic treatments because you can prevent those type of features for a very good reason in a future (breathing well, chewing well, not having temporomandibular joint problems, not having bruxism)... Btw thank u for this video Stephanie, I agree w almost everything
4:21 I remember reading a saying that’s something like this “Your features are there for a reason, all of them are meant to be in harmony with each other”, and I agree! Beauty is subjective true, but I think that the uniqueness of features are what enhances someone’s beauty. So sad that a lot of people esp younger and more impressionable individuals now think they have to “fix” their faces because of trends.
