    OK, I will agree Pam Anderson is not actually one of the worst examples, just one of the most famous; and very disturbing, because she actually had a celebrity career after mutilating herself.

    You are correct, those examples make me cringe. Why someone can do that to themselves is beyond insane.

    @ RonQE
    Pam Anderson is not one of the worst examples. She still looks human. Fake, but human.
    Check out these three:

    Those three are frightening.

    dumb fucks, appreciate what GOD gave you. chiselling your self up drastically won’t make u the most beautiful or handsome person. Retarded uncomfortable bastards. appreciate what GOD gave you.

    This is disturbing.

    Some of the most beautiful women in the world getting their natural beauty altered and virtually butchering themselves.

    Their noses are usually beautiful but they’re going crazy to make themselves look like some of the worst examples of Western plastic surgery nightmares (e.g. Pam Anderson)

  • boudica2009:

    @cannoir I was …
    @cannoir I was merely using that term as a reference to the western European styled noses these women are getting through plastic surgery (that’s why it’s in quotation marks). I agree with you, there is nothing wrong with their noses, in fact I find them beautiful. I find most, if not all noses beautiful. Sorry to “crack” you…lol
    I hope you have a good day and give your nose some appreciation, everyone would look silly without it! :)

  • cannoir:

    big is pretty to me …
    big is pretty to me , a nose just has to “sit” well with the rest of your features , 99% of the time it actually.I will never understand people who choose to fix tis okay to begin with

  • cannoir:

    @boudica2009 never …
    @boudica2009 never heard of an anglo saxon nose.you crack me.you gotta be more specific because there are various caucazoids noses.
    that said I saw nothing wrong with those girl’s noses.they would have that groin cut but still wear a Burqa to cover it up ? doesn’t make sense to me.

  • boudica2009:

    I have an ” …
    I have an “anglo-saxon” nose, but I think Persian noses are beautiful. I think whatever nose someone has is meant for their face and should stay that way! I love my nose, not because it’s european, but because it’s been passed down to me. Changing your nose is like disowning your heritage!

  • livll1:

    there are to much plastic surgery in the world. A lot of people could do great without it.
