Hump -Beverly Hills, CA

Try staying close to your true friends because those who are rude don't understand and probably have their own issues - everyone does. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to message me and I'll give you the best advice I can as a high school student too!

No, don't do it. High school sucks and kids suck. I was really bullied in high school too. I just got thru it and after I graduated I moved 3000 miles away and REALLY started living! Trust me. None of that bullying crap anymore. The real world isn't high school. You are gorgeous. Changing your appearance with surgery isn't going to change the way you feel about yourself. If you don't already accept yourself as you are and have a healthy self esteem, surgery won't fix that. Don't let these idiots control you! Don't make decisions to gain approval from people, who cares about them? They'll always find something to pick on. I had surgery as an adult just to get a subtle refinement to fix a bump from a car accident years earlier and slim down the width a little. No one influenced me on that decision. It was a gift to myself after working hard for many years, overcoming several life obstacles, and still coming out strong. It was a reward so to speak. It turned out being a nightmare and I got severely botched and endured 2 more surgeries and spent several thousand dollars to restore my nose. Its alright now but if I could do it again I'd leave it alone. You have a really cool look. You look like someone interesting and creative, down to earth, approachable, really attractive. I'd pick you to be friends with over some barbie looking girl. For what it's worth, I work with tons of models on photo shoots and all models have features that make them stand out from the crowd. They're models because they're more interesting to look at, eyes are drawn to them. That's why you get singled out. You don't blend in with crowd and kids are cruel and act out because of their own deep rooted insecurity. It sucks and it's tough, I remember. Stick it out because after high school it will all change and you'll be so much happier. I know what I'm talking about.

Do not touch your nose. Rhinoplasty is very complicated and unpredictable surgery. Once you do it and if you don't like you have to live with your new nose for 6-12 months and go through it again to fix it which also doesn't guarantee results. your nose looks great and you should rethink that. My nose was almost like yours before I broke it in an accident. I would not have EVER touched my nose if it was not for an accident. Now that I have had my surgery and almost 6 months later I am looking to do a revision because my nose has a bunch of not very good issues that need to be fixed. Its a very stressful process and I do not recommend to anyone unless you broke your nose and your nose is so huge that you cannot live with yourself. Your nose is cute and it works well with your face. Think long and hard before you jump under the knife.

There are a couple of things I feel I have to say after reading your review, and I hope that you'll take the time to really listen to what I'm saying and consider it. Some of the things you mentioned in your review concern me.. First of all, you are SO beautiful. So, so, beautiful. I agree with the other posters when they say that you are too young to be getting this surgery. I would recommend at least waiting until you're 18, for a number of reasons: (1) Your nose will continue to change over the years, and even by age 18, it could still change after that; however, 18 is a pretty good age to start considering this surgery at because (2) you'll be older and more mature, MENTALLY. This is the kind of surgery that you HAVE to be mentally prepared for, as it can affect you psychologically as well as physically. It requires a lot of patience, and a lot of people can't exhibit that, so when they're in recovery, they become depressed. (3) By that age, you can take the procedure a bit more seriously and realize that there is a LOT of personal research you need to do to educate yourself on the procedure and all of its potential risks. It's also something you should sit on for a while, and not do on a whim. The other concern I have is that clearly, money is an issue for you; one thing I see so often on here is people who sacrifice a good rhinoplasty procedure to save a buck. On average, rhinoplasties can range anywhere (most commonly) from $6000-$8000. Mine was $7,200, and since there were no medical conditions being corrected (like a deviated septum), insurance won't cover that so it had to come out of my own pocket (being a University student, living on my own and saving up for a wedding this summer, that was a huge hit to my credit card lol). But it is WORTH IT to spend more money to ensure that you get the proper work done by the surgeon you feel the most comfortable with. Please don't jump the gun and go for whichever surgeon, and go for the cheaper options - this is something that you really need to take your time doing, both in terms of saving up the money, and finding the RIGHT surgeon. The last thing that concerns me that I think needs to be said is that changing your nose is not going to fix all of your problems. When I hear you talking about how you're being bullied, and how you tried to commit suicide twice and considered doing it a third time, it bothers me; you speak of the procedure as if you think that getting rhinoplasty will make your problems go away. But I've been there; I've tried to commit suicide myself in the past. Last year, I even had a mental breakdown and my whole family was forced to intervene. This had nothing to do with my nose, however, and I know in your case, it might seem like it, but it's not for you either. Depression, to the point of trying to commit suicide, or even thinking about it, is a PSYCHOLOGICAL issue that is rooted far deeper than just your nose. By all means, if you feel in a few years like you still feel exactly the same way and want to get this procedure done, then go for it - I did it, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. But please don't be disillusioned - bullies exist everywhere, and they suck. This is an unfortunate truth. If they want to bully you, they'll ALWAYS find something to pick on. I don't want you to fix your nose and then suddenly they find something else, and then you're shocked and thinking, "I really thought this would put an end to everything." I know it's hard not to listen when bullies make fun of you, but at the end of the day, their words can only hurt you if you give them the power to do so. YOU have to love YOU, and I think, before you can work on loving your physical appearance, you need to start with working on loving yourself on the INSIDE, because clearly if you've thought of committing suicide so many times, there are some things you need to speak to someone about. Because plastic surgery can only fix what's on the outside; if you're depressed, fixing your nose isn't going to fix THAT. You're beautiful and I know you have it in you. Just please listen to what I'm saying and consider my words carefully, even if you choose to disregard them afterwards. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Hi Alexiis ~ I just wanted to say I agree with everyone- you are beautiful! Also I wanted to let you know my nose changed a lot in my early 20s. I too was bullied and my biggest (unsolicited) advice is if it's possible, I'd try to make friends who are outside of your high school who see you and value you for who you are inside & out. I made friends through a volunteer group and through sports and an art class, and then through church, and it helped me realize there were nice kids outside of my high school. I know money is tight but maybe there are free activities not so far away from home, but far enough away that you could make some quality friends from other local schools? I was REALLY lucky to have found that.

You are so pretty! When other girls tease you it is because of their own insecurities. No one is perfect and you are still growing. I also started in high school wanting a nose job but knew that I would have to wait to save up money and think hard about it. If you have the confidence it will shine through you =) When I graduated high school and went to college I changed my mind because my boyfriend said I didn't need one and was pretty the way I was. Now I am 21 and feel more mature and this time it is for myself. My husband said he liked my nose but I still want this for myself. Make sure if you do go through with the surgery that it is for yourself and not to impress others. Remember no one is perfect. After all it is just a nose and everyone's nose is different. Life after high school is way different =)

I think you are pretty. Good luck with your surgery.

Hope you're doign well. Did you move forward with the rhinoplasty yet?

Did you ever go through with the rhinoplasty?

Did you end up doing it?
