My girlfriend said there's no need for aesthetics

I’ve been uncomfortable with my nose for a long time, but I could never bring myself to have surgery. I mentioned it to my girlfriend recently, and she said, ā€˜You don’t really need it; you’ll regret it if it looks artificial later.’ On one hand, I agree with her; I’m afraid I’ll feel bad if the outcome is the opposite of what I expect. But on the other hand, I see and think about how unhappy I am with my nose every day in the mirror. How much do you think a partner’s opinions like this affect a decision like this? Should I take her thoughts into account?

I’ve had similar experiences too. Someone in my friend circle got it done, and it turned out very artificial; everyone made fun of them on Instagram and such, but they were still happy with it. If your partner loves you like this, I think you should think a bit more about it. If you’re going to go for aesthetic surgery, don’t take a step without finding a good doctor.

So, how is your relationship with your girlfriend in general? Is she someone who appreciates you, or one of those types who starts acting up later on? :slightly_smiling_face:

@kadir_kiymetci, actually, he’s generally someone who appreciates value, but when he talks like this, I get a bit confused. On one hand, he seems worried, but on the other hand, he seems to find it unnecessary. I mean, he didn’t exactly say a clear ā€œfeel free to do itā€ either :neutral_face:

@student, when everyone started teasing, it reminded me of something someone wrote: ā€˜if your nose were crooked, we’d be so beautiful.’ Why does everyone get so hung up on aesthetics being artificial? If you’re already problematic, why are you making fun of others? It’s absurd.

Of course, everyone thinks differently, but I find what your partner expressed to be reasonable. Satisfaction after aesthetic procedures is very personal; if you’re someone who has anxiety, consider getting counseling first. After all, decisions made in haste can’t be undone :slightly_smiling_face:
