considering PS, please advise - Cosmetic / Plastic Surgery Message Board

Hi folks,
When in your opinion does the point come that you should have plastic surgery.. I am very unhappy with the way I look (facial wise) and have been thinking about it for a while, wondering how I can finally come to a decision.

Well I don't know if any surgery is available, you see as I say im unhappy with the way I look (society is too) but I can't quite put my finger on it, I know I look very drab and dull and have a very strange profile view but I don't actually know what it is that brings it down, therefore I don't know what it is that could 'fix' me.

Is there a way forward on this or do I have to know specifically what procedure I want when I go in for a consultation or will the consultants advise, basically I would want some professional constructive critisim and then be told what there is to help/remedy strange features. Please share your thoughts on this with me.

Thanks

Dont do anything because "society" compels you. The people you contact out there on a daily basis aren't worth that kind of effort. But if your doing it for yourself you certainly can go see a PS and ask what can be done to improve your appearance.

Thanks for the reply angela, well it is society that has me with no confidence and esteem but I would not be getting PS to please them but more so to restore that lost confidence and esteem. Is this more the right line of thinking.

I didn't think plastic surgeon like to hear the 'what's wrong with me' question when someone wants to know how to improve their appearance.
Thanks again - any more views on this, more than welcome.

I understand completely where your at. My looks are less then avg, to some I'm downright ugly .There were times when I got really down on myself because of the way others felt about my appearence. But then I came to realize that if those same people were loaded on a jumbo jet that crashed into the amazon forest it would have zero effect on my life.I know that sounds a little bent but it's the truth.

Thanks for your feedback angela, its much appreciated. I know what your getting at with the jumbo jet angle, that those people don't matter, but this is more so for myself than other people. I'm pretty certain I'm now going to at least go in for a consultation or two.
