i don't think plastic surgery looks good, i think the people look fake after they have it, not real

Thanks guys. You all have strong points. I've had a long time to think about it.
I'm just going to see if over time with counseling my self esteem will get any better. If not then I'm going to go for it :D

Not a day passes that I dont ponder the possibilities of plastic surgery. Should I prostrate myself before society's narcissistic and vain way of valuing people, or should I reman as a kind of ugly, hideous and deformed martyr (Rather romantic notion, I know)?
The real question is, is a complete facial reconstruction even possible, and would I want to be made up of 'ninety nine percent consumer products'? Also, could I endure the equisite pain, if the end result was a halcyon sunrise of friendship and acceptance?

Noway dont do it!
its totally uselles, u look in the wrong place for answers to ur problems
opinion of ppl matters only if it makes us feel better and never should u make SUCH a sacrifice to please others....
yes u were picked on for it but u need to deal with it, its hard, maybe u will never be able to do it but rhinoplasty will never fix ur image either!!!! if it did then i would say yes but u will be the same person, ppl wont love u more!!!
i know one girl and she was all fat and she never got dates and u know what she is thin now and very pretty and yet she told me that still nothing in her love life.
actually if u get remarks about ur nose start to answer. stop just listening. U know when my parents imlpy that i am a little fat or smth (which i am not!!) i tell them that what they say makes me feel really insecure, that it affects my image gretaly, that they tell me im the best but after such words i feel i am the worst. And then i ask them - will u still tell me this now that u know how bad it makes me feel. I am very serious saying it and immediately they tell me that they are sorry, they were just joking or whatever.....I dont swallow this. And i would never swallow it from anybody else either.....And if my answering them would be too inappropriate i say to myslef that i am lucky that i have my confidence and that i am not as weak as before becoz such ppl who pick on us dont realise how much damage they do and how ignorant irresponsible and mean they are!! plus ppl pick on u and somehow they forget to explain that a perfect nose doesn guarantee anything....
i mean u have this thing that ppl use to provoke u with and to make u feel bad. and ask urself why they do it?? they do it to take of some attention from them - its always more pleasant to discuss others than be the subject of a discussion themselves. Also they do it often becoz simply they have nothing to say, nothing interesting with substace and stuff, so they just have to chat about smth...And it depends how u treat that. If u fall into the trip and be so anive to believe that evthg they say is true then u feel ashamed and ugly. But u have a choice not to do it!!!! Also i wanted to say that when u discuss ur appearance noone will ever be really honest. I dont know why! even if they were their ideas are foten influenced by stupid things and they are ignorant on many things and yet by asking and by listening u give them the power to determine ur worth!! i used to always ask my friends if i look ok and do i like fat)))) now i never do this, i like me and i dont need any opinion who are no smarter than me that will influence me somehow. I dont wanna be influyenced by anyone. especially becoz ppl change minds and donno anything themselves but unfortunately are free to express opinions.....Actually when i stopped idealising other ppl i stopped thinkin much about their opinions.
life is such a hypocritical thing))) i love it but its always tricky!! i mean my brother used to criticize me so much for how i look and it mattered to me more than anything, always felt not good enough to him....so amny tears and sad moments...and now his gf is not even pretty!!! so why the hell was he so mean to me if it doesnt even matter!!!!!
that was a long time ago and i learned a lot...such things never surprise me now. U need to THINK about what u see, to think about what ppl tell, to try to understand WHY they tell u this and WHO they are.
When i was like i always was so accepting to others and never to myself.THis u need to consider too. If u are afraid of what ppl think and think that they are all fine and perfect and better than u, whereas u have this horrible nose - it means u are exagerating and what u think is not true....
also just think about ur poor nose and that u, his owner, despise him!!! but its urs!!! dont be so mean to it!!!!

I dont know. Have you thought about asking your doctor? Maybe your nose isnt as bad as you think it is. My own nose is a touch long, and slightly larger than I would like it to be, but its my nose and it suits my face, I think i would look sort of unbalanced with a cute button nose.
