Yesterday I went and got a non-surgical nose job which I had been looking into for about a year now. This was something that I received just on the side of my nose which is the area I had problems with due to a small bump. I did not wish to have a full rhinoplasty procedure because of the nature of my self-conscious concern. Such a huge difference has been made and I could not recommend the procedure enough but people in the workplace have commented and had problems with things I choose to do with my own face which is outrageous.
One woman in particular is being vitriolic about it all, saying that I would rather spend money on my appearance than my children which is outright ridiculous as my children are both in their teens now and I have always put them before myself. She has also said to my face that it "wasn't worth it" and I "looked better before". On top of this, she keeps tagging me on Facebook posts about natural beauty and learning to love yourself. I am furious.
Any advice on how to deal with this?
AIBU?
To think everyone should mind their own business about my nose job?

Well I'd just tell them to fuck off, but that probably isn't helpful advice 
I would block her on fb then make make a bitchy comment about her needing surgery every time she mentioned it and ignore the rest 
How did they even notice? I had rhinoplasty and people said things like, "Have you got new glasses?"
Glad you're all agreeing that she's being a bit of a bitch, I was afraid some of you may see where she's coming from! We are definitely not friends and never have been, in fact she has no friends in the office and has quite the reputation for not watching her mouth.. has caused a lot of trouble recently with a friend of mine but that's a whole other story. Nobody wants to oppose her however as she holds a lot of power in the company for a reason I won't go into which complicates things further
ImperialBlether - a non surgical nose job is very simple and there's no recovery needed at all! I was in and out
In my opinion it's somewhat of a jealousy thing as people were giving me more attention than her today.. 
"If I was a very rude person, I might tell you to fuck off and mind your own business"
My new favourite phrase. You haven't actually told her to F off, but the words are there
High five wowbutter!
A lot of people seem to believe that rhinoplasty involves getting any nose you like, regardless of the raw materials the surgeon has to work with.
Nobody would ever guess I'd had a nose job because my nose is frankly not all that But it is improved, and I'm happy with it. I'm very glad I had it done.
I also don't expect to have further cosmetic surgery in the future.
OP your colleague has a few problems herself if she's so concerned about what you do with your own nose!
