Husband not on board with a nose job, how do you overcome this?

So, long story short, but I've hated my nose as long as I can remember. I've been married for 7 years, and 3 years ago I decided to get a rhinoplasty consult on my own.  I was too embarrassed to tell my husband about it, and since then I never could bring it up.  I guess I was afraid he would agree with me or tell me I couldn't do it.
Well, last Saturday he cleaned out our vehicles and found that consult and quote for a rhino tiplasty.  He was pretty upset that I never spoke to him about it, and I regret doing so.  I know I should have told him before I went to the consult, but knew I could never full go through with it until I spoke to him. He still is pretty upset I never told him, and feels that I have lied to him.  I apologized to him for not bringing it up before,  I told him I was embarrassed to even mention my biggest insecurity on my face.  
Now he knows, and I mentioned about possibly going together now to a consult to answer any concerns that we have.  He told me he's never once thought I needed a nose job, and thinks I could look like a completely different person.  I told him I just want my bulbous tip to be uplifted some more and that I'm not looking for a significant change. I told him I've always been insecure about it and it would help me feel more confident with myself. He still is not on board and says he would be losing a part of me if I do this.
This is so hard.  How did you all get your partner's on board?  Not a day goes by where I don't look at my face and hate my nose.  Please help.
