has anyoneever had a consultation with a plastic surgeon?

I don't want to be a barbie. I don't want all these other procedures everyone keeps suggesting.I just want the bump removed so i can be confident.

Okay thank you. Do you plan to get rhinoplasty? Also, when my grandad died he left me a sum of money which would fiance a nose job.

You have a small bump on your nose, a fair few girls have bumps on their noses... do you not get laid or something? plastic surgery is not the answer just to get laid

Yes, one day. I wanted it done ideally last June - no job = no rhinoplasty. You're very lucky in terms of financing it. To this day this is the only thing holding me back, and I'll have to work for a year or two to earn the money; and the way things are this could be a very long time in the future Good luck and all the best, it could really take that weight off your shoulders

I had a consultation for rhinoplasty. I got really hyped up for it and then went home and watched the procedure on youtube just so I understood it all better.

God it just looked so horrendous I decided I'd rather keep my funny nose and put my £5k to better use

But thats just me. If you want to get it done, I wish you luck with it. I found my consultation to be very clear and informative and I am sure yours will be as well.

Out of curiosity, did you go with an individual surgeon or a company like Harley Medical Group or TRANSFORM?

a few more pictures, you might find useful?

No I went with a BAAPS surgeon, if you really want to do it, yu should choose one of these. Althuogh, I would not recommend getting it done, I prefered my nose before as it had a bump and more character and there is nothing wrong with these noses on girls either. Many people get less than expect/hope from the op. There is only so much you can do as the nose is a bone, you can't really make significant changes.

Dear OP (please consider getting a new username- because you do not need to lose weight),

STOP. Don't go to a plastic surgeon consultation. You don't need it. If I sit here telling you you already look lovely, I know you won't believe me, so I'm just going talk about the other issues.

I don't wish to sound patronising, but your thoughts on your appearance will only get better from the age of 16. At this age, you feel your most self-conscious because you're very aware of others' opinions of you but haven't yet formed your own self confidence not to care. I'm 19, and I used to feel exactly the same at your age- but only 3 years later I have completely changed my mind, and am so glad that I didn't do anything drastic earlier on.

In terms of appearance, my face HAS changed with getting older- my teeth have straightened themselves out, my features are more in proportion, and now, it wouldn't suit me to if had gotten plastic surgery or anything. I've lost weight- through exercise and a healthy attitude to food- which has also changed how my face looks- plus my skin has gotten a lot better. I'm just trying to illustrate how you can unexpectedly grow into your own skin.

I'm not trying to say that I look stunning now or anything- far from it. But I'm actually really okay with that. Since starting uni and making new friends, I've realised that to build yourself the life YOU want to lead, you have to have a positive attitude to life. It's only now that I can apply this to my appearance and concentrate on what I like, rather than what I don't.

I look the way I do because it is who I am- and there is no point trying to change that. I might not have the perfect bone structure, but there are other things that I like about myself. I am proud of who I am. I have accepted that I might not look as conventionally gorgeous as other girls, but that's okay because I'm different to them. I'm also doing the degree that I want to do and I'm getting on with my life, and I enjoy other things rather than getting with random guys.

Just wait until you find yourself before making any decisions like this. I promise you, things can only get better after school- it's the most pressured and crazy environment in which to compare yourself to others, but at uni or wherever you decide to go on to, you'll meet people that will make you feel good about yourself, and get on with doing the things that you enjoy.

I've got one tomorrow, and im terrified. I'm only sixteen, and im worried he makes me feel like an idiot

I'm not sure why, but this post made me cry. Thank you very very much for your words of wisdom. I went to my consultation this morning, but I don't think I am going to go ahead with rhinoplasty.
