nose job for a 13 year old...?

Question

i'm 13 years old && i was wondering about getting a nose job.
I never even noticed my nose in that kinda way.. until 7th grade.because some guy started making mean comments about my nose..I have a bump..It kinda makes my nose even out from the top to the bottom..
i've never told my parents about that i want to get a nose job, because they will tell me that im beautiful and stuff... and i dont want my mom to get offended by the fact that i want a nose job, because i got my moms nose....
i know that this stuff shouldnt bother me but if someone wants to be mean to me they always make a comment about my nose... some kids in my school even call me shark face and i dont even know them! and my nose is not the only thing i focus on... i care about school, i get good grades and stuff.. but I just think if I got a nose job it would boost my confidence a lot and it would make me that much prettier.... what do u think about me getting a nose job? is it really bad? does it hurt after wards?

Answer 1

DON"T EVER DO SOMETHING BCUS OF SOME GUY. honestly you do things for other people and you will never be happy with yourself. I wouldn't get a nose job before 18, because you are still growing into your body, i mean it could be a great thing, it could be horrible. But think about it, do you really dislike your nose or is it becuase he made fun of you. He's probably a dumb jerk who has a crush on you and doesn't know how else to express it but to make fun of you. 5-6 years from now you could be a huge model and your nose could be what sells your image. I am not pro or anti plastic surgery i just think it deserves an extremem amount of thought, because it usually doesn't stopp with one trip under the knife, soon you notice more imperfections and end up having a botched surgery. Look at someone like Jennifer Gray (baby from dirty dancing) Her nose was huge but it's what made her who she is. As soon as she got a nose job, she couldn't get another job. She had her own tv show and it got canceled in the first season. People even commented on how she wasn't as attractive anymore. It's going to hurt. It's major surgery. You'll be bruised and swollen, and it'll hurt like a ***** for a period of time. Oh and every girl says if i lose ten lbs. i'll be more confident, changing your apperance wont necessarily make you more happy. Building confidence comes from within and it comes from being flawed and being able to appreciate yourself depsite those flaws. You could be a perfect girl apperance wise and still be miserable.

You should find other ways to boost your confidence. Don't you think that everyone at your school would notice that you had a nose job? Then, they'd have a whole new set of things to say. You should leave it just the way it is. It's sad that your classmates are insensitive and immature. They wouldn't like it if someone constantly pointed out something that was different about them. Your nose makes you unique. I am sure you are very pretty, even without the nose job. Don't focus on your nose just because of what someone else says. You will find a million people out there who could care less about your nose, and some will even find it cute.

And, as for a nose job hurting, well, have you ever watched one of those plastic surgery shows? Just watching one makes my nose hurt, and I imagine that as with any surgery, it's very painful.

As you get older, you'll grow into your nose and be grateful that you left it just as God made it. Puberty is tough without the added stress of people being immature.

Answer 3

Don't do it. At your age I was self conscious about my nose. I even had a few people make fun of it. But by the time I got to high school I started to become less self conscious about it because if you think about it everyone has something different about them that you can point out and make fun of. Trust me unless you need to go under the knife for correction purposes natural is better. Do not get a nose job. The students that are making fun of you do it because they are immature. Basically thats what the teasing boils down to, immaturity. People eventually grow out of the teasing stage. Do not let the teasing get to you or hinder you self esteem. I find women with all sorts of different noses (big, small, slender, long) attractive.

Another thing that can help you feel better about your self is to focus on the qualities that you can enhance. For example I may not be able to change my nose but I can exercise and lift weights to change my muscle tone. With my sculpted legs and knowing that I am in great shape aerobically from being a distance runner I forget all about my nose.

Hope this helps

My suggestion is that you wait at least a couple more years. Here are some reasons:
First of all is that you are very young and you are probably still growing- you may just need to "grow into your nose".
Second, the procedure is very expensive, and I don't know about you, but my parents wouldn't pay for something like that when, especially because you are still young.
Third, I have seen it being done on TV, and it looked very painful because they actually have to break your nose and it was quite gross.

I know you probably don't want to hear this, but it really is what's on the inside that counts. But I agree that feeling pretty does give us more self confidence, and I am often self concsious of my nose (I think it's quite large), but surgery isn't an option I would consider.

And don't bother listening to the other kids calling you names. It just means they don't have enough self confidence to feel good about themselves so they have to put others down.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 5

When I was 13 I wanted a nose job. My nose is quite big, and it's straight apart from a bump in the middle...a Roman nose, some people have called it. I fretted about it for ages and constantly called myself ugly. I soon had developed BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder), and began hating more about my appearance. That shows that even if you got a nose job, you'd find something new to pick on. But after a while I saw some models who are really beautiful and have big noses. They are recognized for their unusual features, and I'll bet you that if one of them decided to get a nose job tommorow, she'd be considered 'average-looking'. Now I love my nose...it's part of me. If I got a nose job, it wouldn't feel right. I'd regret it, and I'd feel like a liar. It might be nice to know that strong noses were a sign of status in Ancient Rome...people with 'button noses' were at the very bottom! So cheer up! If you were born with your nose, it suits you. End of story.

Answer 6

You're 13 years old. Even if you looked like Catherine Zeta Jones you would still be teased, because that's what happens in school, especially when you're a teenager. You get teased about things that aren't your fault. There is nothing wrong with your nose. It's natural to be worried about your appearance, but getting a nose job won't fix the way that other people treat you at school. They will just tease you about your hair, or about the size of your feet. Kids tease each other at school because adolescence is hard and because secretly, they're worrying about THEIR noses and they think if they point out what your nose looks like, people won't look at their nose.

Why not wait until you're 20 when your face has filled out and become what it should be before you go asking your parents to change something about you as important as your nose. You're still growing. You might actually grow to love your nose.

Answer 7

the only way a 13 yr old should get a nose job is if it is for medical reasons not for cosmetics when you are older that can be a choice that you make but i do not recommend that you get on at 13 the kids that make fun of you do it simply because they are kids and if you get a nose job they will find something else children can be very cruel honey wait yes it does hurt you may need to see a show about it so you can see the process before you think about doing it try watching Dr 90210 that will let you see the whole procedure wait

Answer 8

If getting a nose job would REALLY boost your self esteem, then go for it. but not now. I mean, only if it's terribly TERRIBLY bugging you inside, the way your nose is and all.but I bet it's not even that bad at all.society and media has forced in our brains the ideal image of a nose, small and dainty and straight.but a bump doesn't mean it's ugly, seriously.so yea, if you do decide to get a nose job, there are at least 2 reasons you should wait until you're 17-18ish/after you finish high school:

1)Your facial features have still yet to grow, YOU have still yet to grow and mature. when we're young, we tend to find small flaws and insecurities w/ourselves which usually go away as we mature and get older and learn of the real world and the things that really matter.

2)You wouldn't want people at your school to KNOW you got a nose job, would you? wait til after hs and before you enter college/university etc. whatever, you know what I mean?

Take care and good luck! You're still very young!

Answer 9

When you can afford to pay for it yourself then maybe you should think about it.
I can't support the idea, because where will it stop? Don't let some mean spirited person cause you to lose confidence in yourself... but also don't put confidence in looks, they are way overrated.
Invest in developing your intelligent mind (obvious from the way you have asked this question). Kind heart (again referring to your mom.) and I am even sure there are so many other worthy attributes you have.
Think about this... soon these meanies will tire of you.. and move on to their next kill.
Soon you will be out of school and moving on to other places.
In a very short span of time you will not have to deal with these meanies and you will have saved yourself a lot of pain, and expense for something you cannot return or replace... a beautiful keepsake of your mom's.

Answer 10

I think you are way too young to get any type of plastic surgery. You need to realize that people are going to say things all the time about you, that doesn't mean you should rush out and try to change and be perfect. Love yourself for how you are, and don't conform to what others want you to be. Odds are if you got plastic surgery kids would make fun of you for that too.
You are at a tough stage in life and the teen years aren't so easy - but you will get through just fine. Just know you are beautiful inside and out and when you are older if you still want a nose job then go for it - but certainly wait until you are at least 18.
