Hello. So, I'm a 18 yr old female. I'm yet to tell my mother that I want to have rhinoplasty. I've been thinking about it since I was 16. I know I'm insecure. No self esteem at all. However, I've got my father's nose and it's not feminine enough for me. I know I should learn to accept it, but why shouldn't I change it if I can? And live without thinking that people are staring at my nose because I think it's ugly. I wasn't teased about it. Never. So It's not based on other peoples opinion. My mother is old fashioned, so she won't really understand why would I want to do that, well she's got a pretty nose anyway. No, I'm not obsessed. I'd like to know what you think about it. Do you think It's a right choice sometimes or never?

    I would say that the question is, whether you're sure it will work for you. If you are going to be prettier but just as insecure afterwards, then it may not be a good idea.

    I always thought, with plastic surgery or anything similar, that the decision should be made if:
    It's being made for YOU, not anyone else
    If you feel it would improve your quality life
    If you feel you do not NEED it, but would just enjoy it
    If it won't make you feel remorse
    and if you are comfortable making the decision.

    It kind of has to be both "not a big deal" and "important enough for me to choose anyway" ..which is contradictory but I think it makes sense.

    Also the 1st comment is just ridiculous. Plenty of models are amazingly beautiful, unique women, and plenty don't have plastic surgery. And of course some men like it, that's why it sells so well. You don't stop being a person just because someone took photos of you.

        I am sure you are very pretty as you are. Dont go and change since you think someone else is better looking. If everyone looked the same this would be a pretty boring planet to live on don't you think? Besides there is taste for all things. Blonde hair, red hair, brown hair, short or long hair. So just be you and stop trying to be everyone else. Since you are pretty and everyone is beautiful in their own unique way and someone is going to love all those quality you want to get rid of. So stay you!

        Go ahead and get this surgery if you really want to. I don't understand why people are so shocked by this.

      Sorry about the model part. I guess it was a big generalisation. But a GOOD PORTION of models selling beauty products or fashion (so the ones targeting women) look the same. Very young girls who have not jet grown a characteristic face. And yes, those girls stop being a person in the photos, because the person is barely visible after all the make-up and photoshop. Now, that's not even the big deal. The reason they have to look like this is because the model is just a neutral canvas for the product. They're designed to not look like a specific individual.
      The actual problem is when we make an ideal out of it.

      I realise that's off topic, I just felt like I had to explain...

    What the hell, go for it. But as above, it should be done for you, not some guy or other silly reason.

    I am 20 and I had a nose job a year ago. It was the best for me. I, like you, was never teased about it but I felt extremely self conscious all the time. I dont know if you can afford it on your own but if you do, just remember to do it for yourself and no one else. Good luck!

    If it makes you feel happier, than by all means DO IT. It's your life, not anyone else's!

    Go for it but remember you also have to live with it.

    Make sure it's really what you want to do.

    You're not obsessed? Are you sure? You believe people are staring at your ugly nose even though nobody has ever said anything about it.
    If you had a really hideous nose where people would freak out when you come around the corner, okay, then surgery might help you to overcome your low self esteem. But "My nose is not feminine enough" sounds very suspicious. What's the next thing that won't be feminine enough? If some doctor draws marker lines all over your face and body would you believe him?
    There's a weird beauty ideal some women have that is just boring. Some women seem to look at models and believe that is beauty, or that's what men like. It's not. They all look the same, there faces lack any character. I'm not just saying that because that's what you're supposed to say. I love a face with an interesting feature.

    Okay my comment is getting really long...
    But what message are you putting out there? What if you have a kid some day and she feels her nose is ugly. What will you tell her? That she's right?

      What's so suspicious about it? I've got my dad's nose. It's not crooked, but it's way too wide and long for my face. I'm a pretty girl that's why people don't say anything about it. I want this surgery cause my nose is not something I can change excercising. Yes this is something i'm insecure about, but i don't judge other people. I don't wanna look fake. I just dont wanna worry about it anymore.

        I meant suspicious, because it sounded like maybe your nose might not actually be the probelem, and if you fixed it you could find the next thing you'd like to change. I don't know you, so maybe I'm wrong.
        It's just that most people who had way too much surgery started with just one little thing.

        I'm kind of egocentric and assume everyone thinks like me: I'm quite insecure too and I often think I know the reason. Like if I could just change that one thing... But it was never that thing. I also had all sorts of problems with my looks. Believe it or not, I even thought my nose was way to big for a while, also my cheekbones were too flat, my body wasn't manly enough, and so on. I still don't like myself, but for completly differnt reasons then a few years ago.

        But like I said, I don't know you. Have you talked to people who do?
