Thread: Tell me about cosmetic surgery...

I don't know how much such surgery would cost but.. speaking as a woman.. I see NOTHING wrong or receding about your chin. I think possibly your "self-obsession" may be warping your self perception.

If you obsess about your looks you're bound to pinpoint a few things you'd like to change no matter who you are.

You look fine man. Don't bother with the surgery. Everyone see's flaws in themselves that no one else would notice.

Okay if I wanted responses like that I would have asked my mom. I came to the internet for a reason. I know it recedes very noticeably so there is no use telling me it doesn't. I've had people make comments about it so it's obviously not just my self perception. I know I'm not unattractive but, honestly, I feel like it's really holding my self confidence back. It makes a \ shape making my nose look way bigger than it would if it protruded to my lips and makes me look sad all the time. I know I'll grow into my body, but if my chin isn't going to change on its own I want to make it change.

Don't ask if you don't want other people's opinions if they're different from what you want to hear.. just do what you want..

What I was wondering was if the risks of cosmetic surgery outweighed the amount of good it would do for my appearance. Obviously no one needs cosmetic surgery and it would be more reasonable to consider otherwise. What I didn't want was everyone undermining my opinion, telling me my own eyes deceive me. This thread completely backfired.

Just as a reminder...

This is what you wrote.

To be honest, I doubt this will help your self confidence any. Once your chin is "fixed," it will likely just become a different physical problem that's supposedly keeping you from being happy. And after that, another. And so on. In terms of happiness, you'd be better off just accepting what you've got.

I also think you need to think deeper about the costs. I'm not just talking about the monetary costs (which are substantial). I'm saying that these jobs don't always turn out perfect. Sometimes they get botched. If this happens you're likely to turn out far worse than you imagined yourself to be at the start.

In any case, it's too early to be making this decision. You noted in your OP that you still have growing left to do. Your appearance will continue to change. Not to mention that you'll gain more appreciation for the "big picture" behind this decision. I recommend that you put this idea on the back burner for a few more years.

PS, I deleted several insulting and/or not helpful posts in this thread. Grow up, guys.

You don't know that for sure, and he would have one less problem to worry about anyway. IF others come up he can just get some more plastic surgery.

Sorry, but that's just stupid. I guess if you want to end up with one of the fake-est looking faces ever, go ahead. Seriously, you don't want a face made out of plastic.

Who says he'll be able to afford all that plastic surgery?

If he just gets one he wont be able to afford more anyway. So minor flaw cleared up, fixed. He'll probably just leave it at that. Its not like hes gonna go one a plastic surgery binge.

Remember how his went?

That photo is not showing up. So........

No man don't do that. Cosmetic surgery can go wrong and when it goes wrong nobody is there to fix your mistake. And even if it's successful you won't be able to move your face as naturally as before. If you want to look good and be sexy do yourself and favor and work out, concentrate on the chest and shoulder and abs and girls will fall for you and whenever you take your shirt off girls will want you and guys will be jealous of you even if you have a receding chin. But whatever you do, don't go for cosmetic surgery. Receding chin is not that bad, learn from Mrs. Wildenstein's mistake.
