You ve always been secure with the way you look, except for one thing: Your nose. Indeed, your nose has been the subject of frequent ridicule by your peers for as long as you can remember. Of course, now that you re an adult the comments don t really happen unless someone is drunk, but you re still wondering if, perhaps, a change can t be made.
Specifically, you re thinking about getting cosmetic plastic surgery on your nose. You ve decided that your ideal nose would be half the size of your current one, and slimmer too – no more of that bulbous stuff. Yes, each time you look in the mirror, the idea of getting cosmetic plastic surgery seems more and more enticing.

Of course, you re not one to just go right ahead and choose anyone for the cosmetic plastic surgery procedure. You pour over surgeon directories, ask lots of questions, and finally find one that is both reputable and offers reasonable costs. The benefits that you will be getting from the surgery are obvious. After all, look at what a little cosmetic plastic surgery did for Ashlee Simpson s nose!
You just can t wait to be able to walk into a room, any room (you re not picky) and have people admire your nose. You can t wait to see the looks on people s faces when you reveal your new look! As excited as you are, there are some aspects that you re not too excited about at all.
First of all, you re going to have to recuperate for a couple of weeks. You can t imagine walking around with that large bandage over your nose (note to self: remember to practice breathing through your mouth) so unless you start wearing a suspiciously large face mask, then it s going to be just you and your cat in your apartment for a while.
Then, images of Morgan Fairchild and Michael Jackson flash through your head. Morgan Fairchild ended up with a new nose, but that new nose was entirely too small for her face, and she looks silly. Then, Michael Jackson s nose is dissolving an only held together with some sort of putty. You d rather have a big nose than no nose at all!
You need to comfort yourself by thinking about the fact that Morgan Fairchild had her plastic surgery done a hundred years ago, when techniques were still being developed. As for Michael Jackson, well, he s obviously had more than a couple surgeries on that nose of his.
Nevertheless, you still need to see your chosen surgeon s portfolio. You hurriedly log onto his website, and see the many noses he has transformed. Oh, look at that woman s nose! It was completely crooked before, and had a big wart on it to boot! You really like her new nose, it looks very natural. Then, of course, there s the guy who had one of those severely upturned noses. You think his new nose looks quite distinguished. You realize that any cosmetic procedure has its pros and cons, but as long as you have a professional surgeon who knows noses, then you re all set.
