It doesn't have to be a picture of you, just the nose.
If you can hold the camera far enough away to fit it in.My sisters fiance had his nose done after a bad football tackle smeared it across his face. He was delighted with it until the next heavy tackle about a month later.
You need to talk to a cosmetic surgeon OP and get some feedback from a pro.
Thank you for the advice gentleman, particularly those of you who have had similar experiences.
It's by no means as f
ked up as Owen Wilson's, I would say he has a pretty "normal" nose compared to mine, it's just broken in several places. Mines is pretty large and slopes downwards. I also have practically no chin so have had to grow a goatee to combat that.
I wish I was single and I could start fresh in a new city but I have a long time girlfriend (who is actually quite attractive herself), I'm worried how I would explain it to her. She's more old-school and I don't think she would approve one bit.
My nose is slightly off-center with a deviated septum, I'm thinking I could justify getting the procedure done due to that.

I still had my brace when I met my now wife, she said it wasnt an issue for her. Whether that's what she actually thought I dont know. What she did feel was that if I thought it was enough of a problem to go and pay money to have it fixed, then she should support that choiceIt's by no means as f

I talked to a lot of people at my work about it (the brace) and actually opening up was surprising, because people wanted to share their stories about whatever they'd had done, and that gave me some reassurance that I wasnt going to get Metal Mouth comments when I walked in the Monday after having it done. I think yo'll be surprised that if it comes up in conversation with friends and colleagues, how much support and encouragement you'll actually get, and tbh, anyone who has an issue with it a) wont tell you to your face and b) will look like they're a bit over involved in your business
There's no need to run away to a new town, because the main thing you'd be trying to avoid will follow you (hint: it's you)
Interesting this one.
Mine has bugged me all my life (up until now) hit confidence for years and with hindsight I should have had it done in my 20's when I was seriously considering it.
It doesn't bug me now I'm 50 as I've sorted myself out and I'm in very good shape. That is a massive confidence booster in itself - women like it! I shouldn't have left it until my mid 40's to start getting in to shape though.
I therefore understand that in your 20's it's quite an issue. My advice is get yourself in very good shape over the next few months and just think about surgery. You might find this is actually enough - if not it may well be worth pursuing further despite the risks.

Don't worry about it. When you speak with someone, do you look at their eyes or stare at their nose?
My nose is really messed up. I've inherited the huge Roman type honker from my dad's side of the family and have broke it numerous times in rugby/school fights/falling off bicycle/running into a window
I must admit that when I was 18 it did bother me, mostly because I was concerned it would damage chances of any future relationships. On discussing it with friends, nobody thought it was an issue and simply said "it is part of who you are".
You admit yourself that you have an attractive girlfriend, so it clearly doesn't bother people and so shouldn't affect your confidence
