Not really, just a curiosity mostly. Some sort of Linden glitich.

Omg, this is really starting to get to me. Why wont you try a different viewer and make sure it is not a viewer problem?

I am not saying it is, but at least you could discredit that idea.

I have tried Phoenix, Firestorm 3.3 and Firestorm 4.0.1 - all of them show the same problem, and everyone around me sees it as well, regardless of viewer.

This is clearly a flaw in the nose design by Linden Labs.

Ok, not saying anything is wrong with phoenix/firestorm, they are much loved, but they are by the same developers, I mean, have you tried a different viewer?

Am tempted to see if Charlotte wants to come and do the thriller dance with me, we can be your back up dances lol, sorry couldnt help myself. I have never heard or seen this one before, the worst one i had was when suddenly for no apparent reason my head got stuck up my own butt  lol, That one went on for a few weeks then just resolved itself. I hope you can work out this problem really quickly, plz make sure to come back and let us know how you sort this out, Good luck

I was having a problem like that except with my mouth, it was really angular and extremely misshapen. I eventually found another viewer (Can't remember which one.), and the problem went away. Now it's back, not as bad as before but it still looks weird. I tried everything under the sun to fix it or cover it up, nothing has. I'm forced into using an animal avatar, with a head that replaces my human looking head. I've come to accept the problem, but I reeeeeeeeally hate seeing another person effected.

Since you in your avatar badge look fine and you said the issue suddenly happened, I suspect it 's because of corrupted files or something.

I'd try clean install of viewers.

[edit] oh I noticed you've already tried clean install.

 

If you have an alt, you might want to check if your alt has the same issue and if not, it might be account specific.

I went into an alt, and copied down the Nose parameters from Appearance settings.

As I thought, the Nose Tip Angle is the culprit, with mesh cratered into the face when the nose tip is angled to normal human non-piggy position.

I am willing to look a bit more piggy, with smaller nostrils etc and some other mods. Now the cratering is only half as bad as before, but still shows the LL body model design flaws.

 

I guess its like terrain: there are some bumps you just cannot get rid of...

I really don't want to highjack this thread making it about me, maybe you could send me a notecard? My main has the problem, but not my alt. Please explain your comment?

 When you edit your Shape > Nose > Nose Tip Angle, adjust this a lot and watch the results on your face closely. With a "normal" nose which is not tipped way-up-piggy-snout, you see the sides of the nostrils crater back into the face when the nose is tipped down.

I have chosen to tip my nose up a bit more as a compromise.

As mentioned earlier - the system almost punishes you for making a  "roman" or Northern EU  shaped nose with down tips or arching bridges.

Had any workaround been discovered since this thread was active? A skin mesh kit with some typical "non standard" nose shapes?

I have SL viewer as well as Firestorm. For me it was easy since my nose is chatita, but if I want my dance partner.. he will want his character to look like him.

I modified one of the starter avatars that had as close as one could come, but as soon as I elongated the face the nose became a nightmare.

 

Hard to create an average size person between 5'7 and 5'10 with most skins as well.... lol. 6ft + leading men are no longer the norm... are any popular leads even 6ft anymore? >_<
