I actually think your hair is absolutley gorgeous and not to mention that perfectttt hairline you have !!! Yeah don't waste your time or money changing that!! I am sure you can do tons of stlyes with what you already have if you choose to. I agree with Zooster to save your $ for your dream surgery!!!

Thank you for the hair compliment! :) I have started my savings! Small but it's a start!

Be careful with the chin thing. There are muscles in there that have to be re-attached properly and if not, would result in a bad look. Also, make sure you don't have any bad bite/occlusion problems. A narrow or recessed upper jaw can cause a chin/jaw to look prominent. Even if you don't have an underbite or bite problem that is identifiable, your teeth could have just compensated for your bite. Stay miles away from anyone who wants to burr your chin, by the way! You could consult a maxiallary facial surgeon for advice on your bite and if a sliding genioplasty is right for your case. Don't have someone file it, though! You'd be hard pressed to find someone really experienced at that and the maxillofacial surgeons are far more knowledgeable in that area.

Aaaand in all of that, I forgot what I was initially going to say... I think your face is very balanced and symmetrical! I know how you feel about your looks though, but if you are that hard on yourself you will be even more hard on yourself if the outcome is not ideal. So just take your time (you have waited this long) and do tons and tons of research, because you can always get surgery.... but you don't have opportunities to take it back. Stop comparing yourself to the ex, by the way! You are the woman in his life for a reason. I know I used to think my ex was the best looking thing ever, and now I look at him wondering what I ever saw! So you need to get that out of your mind, for sure. Old acquaintances you may run into I can assure you are too worried about what they look like and what you think of them! Also, any crap comments you get on here, and I won't name names, consider the source, that is all I have to say. It is really difficult to not say all of the other things I could, though! You do not need to defend yourself or sense of style to anyone, especially someone who claims to do something for a living and is trying to sell you advice, lol. Just, ew.

I think you look great as you are but I get it about wanting rhinoplasty because I chose to have it done as well. I like how your nose turns up. I always thought that was a cute look. I don't see a thing in your chin that should be changed. I also love your hair. I don't think you should pay attention to people telling you to change it. This is a plastic surgery site not a cosmetology one.

Well thank you for saying all that!! It's hard for me to see anything good about myself when I'm so focused on the bad... but I try to tell myself that it's not as bad as it is in my head. Sometimes it works and sometimes I think I'm just hideous! Haha... we are so hard on ourselves aren't we!?

Your chin looks fine and you have amazing eyes. :) I think if you were to only fix your nose, but do so at an angle that it is in sync with your chin, you wouldn't even have to worry about 2 procedures? I also have a long chin. :) Who knows, my mind may change once the healing is all over with!
Good luck!

Thank you for the compliment! I think a new nose would make a world of difference for me and maybe I can live with the chin! Good luck to you in your healing!

You have a magnificent jawline. I was a model when I was a teen and early 20s and I know what I'm talking about. Your jaw and chin are really magnificent. If you want to have the tip of your nose redone, I can see that, but leave your chin alone.

I tottally understand u becuz I had ur problem. I just had nose surgery and chin reduction (v-line) in south korea and im 4 days post op. I hope all goes well. surgery was tough but hopefully all worth it in the end. check out plastic surgery in south korea they are cheaper than US and they'll make u look like a doll!

I don't know if south korea is feasible for me, but thanks for the info and happy healing! :)

Your husband loves YOU and you are beautiful in his eyes. My husband fought my facelift tooth and nail--threatened me with a divorce if I did it, said he wouldn't pay for it (not that I care, I can pay for it and did) but don't ever think you need to do something for ANYONE BUT YOURSELF. On the morning of my surgery my husband fired his final salvo on the way to the surgery telling me that he would divorce me if I looked weird coming out of it. I got a beautiful job and he's OK with it now, but the point is I DID IT FOR ME. I had always known I'd have a face lift when the time came and through all the arguing about it with DH I was willing to let him divorce me because it was something I wanted to do for me and no matter what, I was going to follow through with it. I told my husband that I wasn't looking for a husband when I found him and that if he wanted to divorce me for wanting to be the best I can be and look beautiful, then go hire a lawyer and I'd see him in court. He backed down and I carried the day but my having surgery was the cause of really the only major issue we've ever had in our marriage. He told me I was the most beautiful woman in the world to him and didn't need surgery and he meant it. Do it for you if it's what YOU want. NO ONE ELSE. Your baby will love you if you looked like a gargoyle--you're Mom.

jeez he would divorce u for doing something for urself?? why r u even still with him?
October 5, 2013
He is over it now. Men are terribly insecure and he really thought I was beautiful before the surgery. He was afraid I'd look like Jocelyn Wilders or Joan Rivers or any number of badly botched jobs.
October 5, 2013
Also, over all the years we have been married this was the only real fight we've ever had. We get along.
October 5, 2013
Thank you for sharing your experience.It would absolutely be for me! My husband is too sweet to say I need to alter anything... he loves me the way I am. But I want some improvements!
October 6, 2013
If you do this, do it for you. Personally I'd leave your chin alone, it looks fine. I almost had a chin implant done but I was afraid it would be too drastic of a change and I like my looks although my overbite makes my chin look too small.
October 6, 2013
I agree don't touch the chin!!! Having a nice defined chin line really enhances the overall fave and creates a good balance. A weak chin generally makes the neck and face blend together too much and will not look nice!
October 5, 2013
I think you are beautiful and the only thing that stands out when I look at you are your gorgeous eyes and flawless skin!!!! Althgough if fixing those things will make you happy then gooo for it!!
October 5, 2013
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! I do feel like some improvements could be made however... thanks for the kind words!
October 5, 2013
Please do not do either operation. You are beautiful and unique and will only regret it. I think there are a lot of people who woul love to have your chin. It is very defined! As for your nose, mine was very similar to yours and I had rhinoplasty 5 months ago amd only regret it. My uniqueness is gone and I feel like a different person. I have spent endless hours crying and worrying. My results are not bad, but just not ideal. It throws off my entire face. Please learn from me and DO NOT do it! Again, you are unique and beautiful;)
October 5, 2013
Thank you for sharing your experience with me. I am sorry to hear of your regrets. It is definitely something I will think long and hard about but I appreciate your kind words!
October 5, 2013
Hello again.... I also want to add that I also believed a smaller nose would make everything bettter..... Well I got a smaller nose and now it completely makes everything else unproportioned. I seriously only wish I had listened to everyone who told me I didn't need to do anything...... This has been the biggest regret of my life. I am not trying to sound as if you need it, but seeing a professional (therapist) about the way you feel may help you. I certainly wish I would have spent money on that versus an operation.
