This caused extreme stress and contributed to low self-esteem. They made fun of me at school and my grades were affected by a lack of concentration. I made bad decisions when I started dating, because I sought acceptance to compensate for low self-esteem.
I had a failed first marriage. Before surgery, whether driving, giving communion at church, or taking an on-the-job training class, I was constantly concerned about my side vision and how others saw me. Now I have completely cleansed my mind of those thoughts. I never worry nor do I think that someone is looking at my nose or how annoying it seems. Those thoughts consumed my life since I was a child, and the freedom and clarity of thought I have now is astounding.

Most people know that plastic surgeons are trained to optimize aesthetic results in procedures such as facelifts, eyelids lifts and Botox. As a facial plastic surgeon, I can assure you that this field not only encompasses improving the patient's natural beauty, but it also plays an important role in rebuilding, restoring function and even regenerating tissues. There are a variety of training routes that people go through to become plastic surgeons, and some people claim to be plastic surgeons without specific official board certification in this field. Either you don't have plastic surgery and you feel miserable because of your appearance, or you have plastic surgery and you feel miserable because of guilt and shame.
