I am considering strongly having a rhinplasty.It disurbs me though to hear the surgeons of rhinoplasy say it should not be noticeable. Do they mean it should look only alittle different so no one you know notices, or do they mean it should fit your face so it is not noticed by screaming out “nose job”
I am a light skinned black lady that many peple think is Latin. I am not happy with the tip of my nose. My mother and family have very definite beautiful chiseled tips to their noses. I did not inherit that feature. Maybe my skin is too heavy as I have had it done many years ago and it is not much different.
I thought maybe the surgeon thought I should not have a well defined tip because I am black…. Or, maybe the technology was not there then to give that look then What do you think?
I also am a singer and am photographed often and am not happy with the shape of my nose.
Why have a rhinoplaty that is not noticed?
If you want no noticeable difference, why would you go through the proceedure?
Please respond.

Dolores;
When a nose is misshapen, bent, too large or otherwise unattractive the human eye goes straight to the nose and takes it all in. (It has to do with memory processing, one of the reasons we humans stare at certain things.) But when you nose is attractive, that same human eye goes to your eyes to take in the information there.
Thus, a nicely done rhinoplasty is not noticeable — at least to strangers seeing your for the first time.
Hope that helps some.
