I want to get plastic surgery, it's a family nose...?

Question

but I know if I get this procedure, I'll be way more confident, and be able to comfortably do my thing in life. I've spent 3 yrs. working on my self, healing from an abusive relationship, getting through anger, shame, hurt, lonlines... everything. Today I am secure in myself spiritually, emotionally, mentally for the most part and physically for the most part. I say for the most part because I do have this insecurity about my nose EVERYDAY. I want to be able to go through life with out this insecurity. I love who I am. I love my family. This is just something I need to do for me.

Pls, any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.

Thx

Answer 1

Yeah, just go for it... that is part of psychological healing function of plastic sugery.  Once you got your nose fix, and you got all of your problems gone... if not, then turn to seek the other resort to healing your soul.

Answer 2

I say go for it!!! Make sure you work on the inside too.

Answer 3

I think you should do it if it is for the betterment of yourself, and you feel that it is something that you should do.

You should never be forced into something like this by anyone or anything else.

Just make sure you have a good doctor.

Answer 5

I had my nose fixed seven years ago. I was 18 and I also had the "Italian family nose." I got tesed constantly about it growing up, both by boys in the neighborhood and people at school. And you know the impact that childhood teasing has on us. I don't want to say I did it for anyone but myself but I'm sure it was because of how people reacted to it that bothered me most. In the scheme of life, our looks are really unimportant, yet they're the most crucial factor in many of our endeavours. If you feel you'd be more confident (which I am) and you have the money (financing available!) then you should do it. But MOST IMPORTANTLY find a good doctor! My doctor was rated one of the best in the country, yet I still have features of my nose that I hate. Make sure you do your research and find people to talk with who've also had this done with that doctor. It's too much time, money and emotion to put into something for it to backfire! Good luck, whatever you decide.

Answer 6

I believe that you have answered some thoughts that I had already. It sounds like you have done some of the deeper work that should take place before making a decision like this, which is "looking into yourself." This gives you an idea of whether you are doing this for yourself or others. I propose that you consider one more thought..."If nothing externally changes...Will I be happy with myself?" If the answer is yes! Do it.

In addition, this is coming from someone who has had this procedure done, be conservative with the procedure because you can always get more aggressive with the desired look, but if you go aggressive with the look...it's unchangeable.
