Can't Live With This Nose!

Honestly, I hate my nose. I HATE it. I simply cannot say anything else about it except that I HATE IT. I like everything else about myself except that. I want surgery really bad. I'm just scared of the risks. I'm 14, and I don't know how old you have to be to have it done. I saw this girl on 'Dr. 90210' who was 14 and she got a nose job.

My self-esteem and confidence is EXTREMELY low because of my nose. I KNOW for a FACT that if my nose wasn't so big, my self-esteem would rise EXTREMELY. I just hate my nose so much. I hate turning to the side because it's so ugly. It has a bump on it, and it's long and ugh. .. I hate it. I don't know if there's any other girl in this world with a nose bigger than mine. I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate it! And no, I'm NOT over-exaggerating. This is simply the truth and how I feel about my nose.

Do any of you know how much nose surgery costs too? I really want one, but my mom says my nose is beautiful already; my mom doesn't have a big nose, nor does my dad but I do. But then again, I don't think it's because of genes. When I was younger I hit it a couple of times and injured my nose, and I've fallen flat on my face/nose down a slide before. I don't know anymore. I am so frustrated.

Every single day I go to school is like heck for me. It's so embarrassing. I can't even turn to the side because I hate it. I have to, but I hate it. In my classes, I always have to/want to sit in the back to no one can see my nose. Seriously, I have like a nose stressing disorder, and it REALLY bothers me so much. If only someone would understand me. I feel so ugly all the time because of my nose. I've never had a boyfriend, and I don't think guys even look at me and like me because of my nose. Ugh, I hate it so much.

i know how you feel and i know how fustrating it is when people say "be happy with who you are" "those people who say your ugly are jerks" etc. none of that s. im 16 and iv already started saving up, my mom thinks its rediculous but i want it, so im going to get it i worked out that if i work until october i will be able to afford it, this is my birth date too so it will be like a birthday present. i actually cant wait.

I understand how you feel. It's so difficult to be young and have such a debilitating insecurity. I went through it, as well. I don't agree with the posters who say that you should just "be happy" or that, with the money it would take to afford surgery, you should "feed children in Africa." If that were the case, that particular poster should not even be using a computer, let alone the internet, when he or she could be volunteering in Africa. Please take those sort of comments with a (large) grain of salt. Whether or not you decide to get surgery, I wouldn't recommend it until you turn 18. Your body is still growing and developing at this stage, and although you may not like your nose any better when you're 18, having surgery now could have undesirable consequences. I recommend that you remain strong, as you already appear to be, and know that other people have felt and currently do feel the same way you do. It's so hard, and I know you're suffering, but you will be a better and more interesting and unique person because of it. If you decide you want to get the surgery, I think you should start saving money when you turn 16 (open a savings account, and keep putting money away) in order to afford it by the time you're 18. You should continue to tell your parents about the way you feel, and I think ultimately they will support you. Know that you're not alone, and I'm praying for you.

Hmm....I'm guessing you are the only one who notices ur nose. Be happy the way you are, and focus on your good qualities. I'd be willing to bet that other ppl who have insecurties that you don't notice either. Surgery should be a last resort.

Dear Sara, you don't know how I understand you. I've just done a nose job.I had to wait until I got adult. My teenagehood was awful! But I still hate my nose. The doctor said he could not make my nose smaller. And I have the exact same feelings about my nose now, but less money. I'm thinking about doing another surgery, but I'm so afraid. It's not and it's not some game to go under the knife. Besides, I will have to reach another doctor and to get the money to do another one, because my parents say they are not going to pay it again. I'm feeling so bad, and I can't leave home either. I don't know what to do, because I feel like crying everytime i look myself into the mirror. And I can't live with this, although I think everything else in my body is ok...But I feel completly horrible, unable to go out and have and with the lowest self-confidence possible, in every single aspect of my life. I can't relate to the others and I'm incapable of liking me, as well as letting someone like me (wich never happens, anyways). Jane, 18, Portugal

Dont listen to those people that say "'You are beautifuul they way you are blah blah blah...." The important thing is that YOU are happy with yourself. Definitely get it fixed it will make you feel 00% better. You are 18. Start saving money wait tables make cash and you can get it done in a couple of months. There are great docs everywhere. Make sure you get a good doc. Look for the Top Plastic Surgeons in your area. If you live near a big city you should have no problem. Dont go to just anyway. Even if takes $5,000 more to get a really good surgeon. Trust me it is the best decision you can make and you will feel awesome. It will completely boost your moral. Good luck

I honestly know how you feel. I've felt the same way for atleast 2 years now. But the thing is that I broke my nose about 2 years ago, and I was too scared to go to a doctor, and now my nose is crooked and going off to one side, one of my nostrils is bigger than the other, I even have trouble breathing. And now I've been doing research and it turns out I could get a surgery where they re-brake my nose and fix it. It's a painful surgery, and I'm not sure if my insurance would cover it, but I would like to get it done, and I probably will as soon as I'm a bit older. But I have a really good reason to get the surgery, it's for medical reasons. Like you said that you've fallen on ur face ect. that could have broken your nose, but if you haven't, I don't reccomend surgery. The other day I read this great article in the current issue of Yoga Journal, and it pointed out that there are over 6 billion people in the world, each one with a nose, eyes, mouth, ears ect. but they still all manage to look different, because we are all unique. Do you really want to change whats really a part of your unique self? Think about it.

I COMPLETELY know how you feel. Everything you wrote about, i feel the same way. Its like, i know my self esteem and confidence would go up if only i had a different nose, as wierd and silly as that sounds. I've asked my dad if i can get a nose job.. even if i raise the money myself.. he says if i do he won't pay a cent for my college education. So its like get educated or feel way better about my self. Also, i am scared of something going wrong if i do get nose surgery. I understand where you're coming from... i am just trying and trying to be happy with who i am. good luck to you.

hmm... you shouldn't hate your nose nor the way you look, no one is perfect and everyone looks different. You should be happy with the way you were born with because you only live one life. Why change it? Instead of wasting all that money when getting that nose job you can feed starving children in africa. You know when getting a nose job there are really large risks. Sometimes at the end your nose wont turn out the way you wanted it to be and that would be a waste. Im just saying you should feel happy with the way you are and you shouldn't be so down because anybody that calls you ugly or etc.. are JERKS. They are just bored and have nothing else to do so they pick on other people. The reason why you never had a boyfriend is because you are always thinking negative things and sayinig how you cant turn to the side because your nose is so big, guys wouldnt want a girlfriend that does that. They'd want someone who feels confident in themselves and is really happy. Plus guys just come and go so having a boyfriend ain't that good . I've had quite a few so trust me. All you need is your friends and family not a guy. Just to let you know i bet that way way way way way way more people in the world would have a worse nose than you. Im sorry that you feel this way its just that you shouldn't be saying this about yourself, BE HAPPY
