  • Posted to Please give honest feedback--Do I need plastic surgery??? on 31 Dec 2011

    The things that you wrote remind me a lot of myself, especially when I was 15. I too became aware of my profile in a school project. In my teens, I hated my nose (which had a significant dorsal bump), my slanted forehead and my crazy, crooked teeth. My older sisters also picked on me for having a different nose. Let me tell you, as someone who has paid to have a nose that looks similar to yours, you don’t need a rhinoplasty! I saw your picture and thought you had an extremely cute profile.

    As someone who isn’t much older than you, my advice is to wait. I am absolutely not saying you need surgery but I understand from personal experience that you need to do what makes you feel better about yourself. If it really truly bothers you in 3 years, go talk to someone about it. Wait another year or two and then make a decision. I feel like a lot of people hate their appearance in their teens but grow to accept and like their appearance and personality, while realizing that people are often more concerned with their own insecurities.

    In the meantime, I would suggest focusing on what you think are your positive qualities, like your new smile (I know this is extremely cheesy sounding but it works!) and being confident based on those.
