  A note to young girls watching this: you probably will be much more confident in your looks as you leave your teen years. You're pretty great as you are, it just takes some times to see that for yourself!

  hooked noses are "villainous," small upturned noses are "pig-faced," and wide flat ones are "bulbous." beauty standards are truly unattainable. just live your life and don't worry about it.

  I can&apos;t believe a PROFESSIONAL said that about your nose! I wonder if he has a tactic of playing off insecurities to get more money out of clients. How RUDE, unprofessional, and what a lie! <br>Your nose is beautiful. Honestly.

  Yknow ironically I didn&apos;t start getting insecure about my nose until I got on social media and I&apos;m constantly finding things I&apos;m insecure about.

  As a black person with a wide nose, I like to think of my nose as a “family nose”. Literally everyone on my dad’s side has this nose and I’d be sad to no longer look like the people I love the most

  My ex boyfriend told me his new girlfriend said that I was ugly because I “had a big nose”. It tormented me for weeks until I realized she was the one who is really insecure. My nose might not be the smallest or most perfect but it reminds me of my dad who is my best friend and I know when he’s gone one day I will look in the mirror and see him and be so happy. I will NEVER get surgery.

  Honestly I was shocked when she showed the comments about her nose. Not only are they horrendous, but they caught me off guard because Ive literally never noticed it. I&apos;ve watched a good amount of her videos and never even thought about her nose. Goes to show that those people don&apos;t have a life 🤷‍♀️ My dad once told me &quot;the only reason someone would mess with your life is because they don&apos;t have one themselves.&quot; Her being insecure about her nose when it looks perfect made me feel a bit better. Cause maybe my nose isn&apos;t as nearly as bad as I make it out to be?

  From a young age my mother voiced how beautiful my nose is. And she re-enforced that idea forever. How beautiful my face is etc. to this day there isn’t a thing I’d change about my face and I owe that self love to my mom. I can only hope I do the same for my daughter.

  I have been insecure about my bigger, crooked nose since I was like 12. And then one day a woman told me I looked like a Roman statue and for a history fan like myself that was the BEST compliment I have ever got.

  Bella Hadid regretting her nose job is a massive lesson in this. Her phrase &quot;I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors&quot; really haunts me. She&apos;s so beautiful and was before. (Her ancestry is Dutch, Jordanian, and Palestinian)<br><br>Edit: this is not a dig at Bella in anyway- I&apos;m absolutely broken hearted for her, she was pushed into this nose job as a child.

  One of the reasons I appreciated Encanto so much was because it was the first time I&apos;d ever seen a wide, bulbous, downturned nose - my nose - represented so distinctly on a Disney heroine before (and all of the women in the family too!) The homogenous presentation of facial beauty for women is so pervasive and normalized in our media that seeing unconventional beauty depicted in art and entertainment as a beautiful, ordinary part of life instead of something to shine a spotlight on and gawk at has been more profoundly validating than I realized it could be!

  I had a nose job about 15 years ago. Trust me, it didn&apos;t make me any happier.
