I Could Have Lived My Life Without It
“I had rhinoplasty done after I broke my nose. To be perfectly honest, I could’ve lived my life perfectly fine without getting the surgery done, but I was really displeased with how crooked my nose looked. I had to wait a year before getting the surgery done and I hated looking in the mirror. I felt almost disgusted with myself because I thought I looked like a witch or Squidward or something. Although, there were times I told myself maybe I don’t look as bad as I thought. Anyway, I finally got the surgery and it was so painful and uncomfortable I told myself it wasn’t worth it. “You’re so stupid, you looked fine the way you were before, I can’t believe you were so worked up about something so trivial! who cares if you have a big nose!” Once I got the bandages off and I wasn’t in so much pain I started feeling better about getting the surgery. And finally, 6 months later, I’m really glad I got it. I’ve noticed people have been nicer to me and more guys have been hitting on me. It’s sad but looks matter way more than we’d like to admit. Honestly getting the surgery has sky-rocketed my self-esteem. if it’s something you’ve thought about for a long time, I definitely recommend getting it. sorry this was really long!!” – Reddit / emofather
