Rhinoplasty: Why I wanted it

People have different reasons to get the rhinoplasty done. hanging_columella.jpgI went to my doctor with the complaint of my having a “ball-peen hammer nose”; clinically referred to as a ‘Hanging Columella’. Now, I never really thought of my nose as unsightly until a very rude photographer said I had a “Ball-peen Hammer” nose. What the heck does that mean?!? So, ever since then I have been insecure about it (9 whole years until the day of the operation), I had considered having a nose job or rhinoplasty. Plus, I wanted the tiny hump on my nose removed.

Well, my doctor told me if I had just had the tip nipped and tucked and narrowed that the bone structure towards the top would look wide. Well, I never even thought I had a thick nose until he pointed it out. Alas! $3,000. more than just having the tip ‘done’.   But, then of course after he pointed it out I obsessed about it. I was ready to have a full nose surgery. He was right; I had to have it done…

I think you need some time to evaluate why it is you are never happy with the way you look. There is some under-lying issue that you havent addressed that is making you feel so insecure and so obsessed with tweaking things that don't need fixing. It's quite a shame that you never feel satisfied and continue to get things done. I think you would be better off with a psychologist then a plastic surgeon. Then maybe you could spend more time enjoying life, making secure commitments in relationships and feeling good about yourself on the inside. If you don't fix what is bothering you on the inside, you will never be happy on the outside. You spend a great deal of time healing from surgeries and planning your next surgeries instead of actually just going on with life and being happy. I wouldnt change places with you for all the tea in China. You need to stop obsessing and start living life sans plastic surgery.

You poor dear.
