Relationships love cosmetic surgery help: Hello everyone… I am really troubled over this. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

Hello everyone…

I am really troubled over this. Please do offer me your advice / views on this.. Thank you.
I am intending to get a rhinoplasty (also known as nose job) to correct the bulbous nose of mine. I have been wanting to get this surgery done since 2 years ago and I have done extensive research on it. My parents are supportive of my decision but I have yet to tell my boyfriend about it. I am not sure whether I should tell him that I am going to get a nose job (I am worried that he would mind!) or whether I should just hide it from him? (the nose job results is most probably going to be subtle/ natural that he might not notice)
I am really having an internal struggle in me now.. I want to get this nose job for myself but I am afraid that people around me especially my boyfriend would mind that I have undergone cosmetic surgery… =(

Honesty is always the best course. I believe you should tell him and explain to him exactly why you want it done. He will understand and support you if he really loves you.

tell him, be honest about it and why ur doin it, if he has a problem with it then hes not right for u, but i doubt he’d have a problem. like look at it logically, ur having surgary to correct something u dislike and the results will be minor, its not like ur havin a face lift or a boob job. honesty is the best policy. and noone should look down on u for tryin to correct something u dont like, at the end o the day its ur body and u can do whatever u want to it, we cant all be naturally perfect, afterall genetics has screwed everyone over in some way, i got a massive forehead which unfortunately i cant do anything about, except hide it with a fringe. be thankful u can correct ur nose that u dont like and embrace the change! hope i helped, good luck with the surgery

You have to tell him, trust is the backbone of a relationship, you will have to hide this from him the whole of your relationship, you will want his support throught the surgery and what will you tell him pretend you are away for weeks while you are bandaged up and it heals? More lies!
If he is worth his salt then he will support you through this and understand why you need to do this, and if you are worth your salt you will not lie and decieve your boyfriend,

Just tell him. Believe me, you will feel a lot more relieved once you do.

you should tell him and let him know that you want this and you are sure about it but you want him to be OK with it as well.
