To think everyone should mind their own business about my nose job?

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?

Yet another why all my colleagues are blocked on my FB.

Ignore her. She's insecure, jealous and probably can't afford to do anything nice for herself. The most critical people are basically projecting their own issues on to you. I actually only finally realised that yesterday after a Facebook related incident a few years ago when someone was very nasty to me.

Would you say she should keep her nose out?

Pinkheart5915 · 10/04/2016 10:30

She was rude.
Your nose job is none of her business.

Your happy with the results and if it helps you be less self conscious then good for you.
Unfriend her on Facebook

This is one of those scenarios where "Fuck off, uggo" should cease any further communications.

BerylStreep · 10/04/2016 10:38

Don't have colleagues on Facebook.

Defriend and tell her to fuck off if she says anything to / around you.

She's jealous... So boast in front of her Wink make sure you say you're so happy you had it done, totally worth the money etc, and if you ever happen to be in the same space as her and a mirror, make sure you gaze at your nose in utter admiration. Maybe add in a few contented sighs or just "wow" in a hushed tone GrinGrinWink

She'll soon get bored or implode with anger.

How jealous!! I would just rub it in personally... You can love yourself and also make a few tweaks. I don't get why some people are so over invested in what other people do with their money.

ImNotThatGirl · 10/04/2016 13:45

How rude of her. Of course YANBU.

I have never heard of a non surgical nose job but I googled and I am Shock. I had an accident a few years ago and smashed my nose very badly. I hate how it looks.

How are you feeling about your new nose? Can I be really nosy please (no pun intended!) and ask how much you paid?

Handsup · 10/04/2016 13:55

I've been eyeing up this procedure but it almost sounds to good to be true. I couldn't contemplate going under the knife what with my phobias and all however a non surgical nose job sounds great.
If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost and was it painful?
Yanbu by the way. Tell your colleague you may be having the bum cheeks done next and she'll be welcome to kiss them.
