Is it normal to love my body but hate my face?

I look in the mirror and can find so many things wrong with my face, so many flaws that I hate and wish I could change. I'd have plastic surgery in an instant if I could, and I don't even like to let my boyfriend look at me closely even though he finds me attractive. I at least know I'm not hideous, but I'd like to feel more comfortable than that in what my face looks like.
In contrast I love my body, I love every part of it even though obviously it's not perfect, like I have flaws but I accept them happily and I'm able to FEEL perfect. I feel slim and sexy and pretty when I look at my body.
What I don't get is how I can so easily accept any flaws with my body, and want to show it off, but when my face is flawed I want to walk around with a paper bag on my head. I don't know how to change this feeling! (any advice??)

Is it normal to have such differing levels of self confidence in relation to my face and body?

    I'm the opposite. I love my face, hate my body. But not always. Somedays I really like my body. Some days I really hate my face. It's normal. There's so much I want to change about myself. I'm 19. I want botox so badly. I want my lips done (they're uneven) and I want something different done to my nose. I want fake boobs because I don't like natural ones. I'm a full C but I want it all removed and replaced with fake. No one loves everything about themselves.

      Im with buckman, I wouldn't say I love my face, but I find no faults in it. My body however, even though im slender I think is unacceptable. Its very normal to think of parts of yourself as unacceptable, its a good thing. Thinking of yourself as perfect, or at least good looking all over borders on conceit. So, don't worry too much about it.

    Maybe you're a "butterface." When I was skinny I felt like this - love my body, but I'm ugly as fuck. Then I gained weight and my face is so pretty in comparison! That could work.

    I am the exact same way!!! I seriously have never come across anyone else like this. Usually, people hate their body and love their face, but for me its the opposite. I love my body because I used to be bigger, but I worked reeeally hard and lost all my extra weight and I've kept it off ever since. So, (not to sound like I'm bragging here) I have a "nice" body because I worked hard to get it that way. But, I've always hated my face since I was a little kid, and there's nothing I can do to change it aside from plastic surgery, which will never happen (I could never afford it, plus the thought of getting my face cut up freaks me out!!) So I'm pretty much screwed, lol. But yes... you're not the only one!
