I’ve been bothered by the bump on my nose for a long time and I’m considering getting cosmetic surgery. But my partner says they love the way I am naturally and is against me going for it. Should I make the decision for my own happiness or do I have to take my partner’s opinions into account?
I also had a nose hump and was very uncomfortable for years. I had surgery last year and it literally changed my life. My boyfriend didn’t want it at first; we talked a lot, but I prioritized my own happiness. Choose your doctor wisely, find someone with good references.
I think you should express yourself to your partner clearly. This is a decision related to you, so if you want, you can show before-and-after photos; that might change their mind. Also, be very thorough in searching for a doctor, and most importantly, aim for a natural result.
So I think you should think a bit. When you’ve started a journey with your partner, their opinion impacts you. I think it’s nice that they love your natural self too. In society, people sometimes focus too much on appearances; if you talk about these things, it would be healthier.
I’m going to ask you something. Does your girlfriend love only her natural look, or is she afraid of surgery? Because sometimes men worry more about the process than the aesthetics. Is there a problem related to the surgery part, have you asked her?
Nose aesthetic surgeries generally relieve the patient both physically and mentally. However, trust is very important in your relationship with your partner. It’s beneficial to have an open dialogue about why you feel uncomfortable, explaining it in detail. During this process, it’s also essential to gather detailed information from your aesthetic surgeon.
Thank you all very much. My girlfriend actually said she’s afraid of the surgery process, saying things like “what if it goes wrong?” But I’ve been researching about the doctor and the process for a year and I feel safe. I’m still indecisive.
I think your girlfriend is not just afraid of the surgery. Perhaps she is worried that you might attract more attention. Because some men can be uncomfortable with a woman’s change. I suggest you consider this part as well.
I’m sorry, but I think like your boyfriend. You’re beautiful even in your current state; I think it would be more appropriate if you didn’t fixate on that belt so much. Besides, if he tells you he loves the natural you, it doesn’t seem necessary to insist on such a big decision.
