  I took a big decision over the weekend, and acted upon it today, by organising a consultation for cosmetic surgery for my nose.
I spoke with my parents about it yesterday, as I was afraid they might be upset that I was disowning my family traits (we have a lot of people with big noses in our family) but they were supportive, if not a little surprised. I guess they dont notice my facial features as being odd, as they only see their son and nothing else.
Anyway, by the end of the year I could have a new, more compact nose. One that doesnt cause people to stare so much (I hate being looked upon as some kind of freak). I first thought about surgery about 5 years ago, but now I feel its the right time, plus I can easily afford it now.
I have no expectations that it will turn me into a more attractive person, because it will only be 'cosmetic', but I've become so self-conscious about it in the last years that it will surely make my life a bit more barable. I just now have to get my head around looking like a car crash victim for the weeks after the surgery, but hope my first consultation with the surgeon will ease my nerves about it. I look forward to a more pleasing profile :)
