Hi ladies
I wondered what people’s advice would be as third party.
I don’t like my nose. I never have. I’m 27 and always struggled with it. It’s crooked where I broke it and looks bigger from one side, I call it my ‘ugly side’ so I always pose on my ‘good side’ in photos and when I’m talking to people. I’m very conscious if someone was sat next to me in the car what they’d think of it etc. sometimes I even worry that people will think I’m a catfish when they meet me in real life (when online dating), this hasn’t happened yet and one man said I was prettier in person than in my pictures but i tend not to believe men.
Even though I’ve always been conscious this has only become a big concern recently as I split up with my partner of 10 years. So even though I had my issues with it before I didn’t feel this conscious. I guess now that I’m back out and there wondering whether people find me attractive it’s made me more self conscious.
Everyone tells me I’m beautiful. People at work, friends, family, they always say how much of a pretty girl I am and I’ve also never struggled to attract a man. I do always feel pretty when I’m all done up, but I feel I could be prettier with a nose job.
I’ve been looking into rhinoplasty and the cost is just extortionate. I did go down the filler route (which I’m quite embarrassed to admit really) but this actually made my nose look bigger and I ended up getting it dissolved some time ago.
I’m really stuck between just leaving it and loving myself for what I am and hoping one day I find someone who loves me just like this. Especially as I’d feel unbelievably devastated if my little one felt they needed to go to these extremes. or, whether to get it done before it’s too late.
The struggle for me is that with my 2 year old I’d be out of action from a surgery that isn’t really needed. And I’d feel so terrible not being there for my LO.
Friends and family tell me to get it done if I feel conscious but lots of the more ‘experienced at life’ ladies who I work with tell me to leave well alone and embrace my natural beauty.
Has anyone had one whilst also having a young child and found it more hassle than it was worth? Or has anyone not had one and learnt to love themselves? …
Any advice or comments will be appreciated ladies thank you
