I was just like any other guy, living an average life, with a normal job and a normal girlfriend. We had been together for almost four years and I thought things were going well. That was until she told me she had been seeing someone else for the past eight months.
To make matters worse, the man she was seeing happened to be a Korean guy, with a face full of makeup and a fake face. He was handsome and had money, and I felt completely inadequate in comparison.
I was devastated and felt so much anger and jealousy towards him. I felt like I didn’t have anything to offer her and that she made the wrong decision. My self-confidence was quickly diminishing and I struggled to accept my new reality.
That’s when I started to think about plastic surgery.
I was desperate to make changes to my face and body that would make me more attractive and boost my confidence. I wanted to look like the Korean guy she chose over me.
I started researching different types of plastic surgery and talking to surgeons about my options. I knew I couldn’t afford to go to a famous plastic surgeon, so I opted for a more affordable option. I opted for a nose job, chin augmentation, and liposuction.
After the surgery, it was months of swelling before I saw the results. My face had been transformed and I felt like a new person. I was filled with confidence and felt much better about myself.
However, as time went on, I started to realise that plastic surgery was not the answer. I was still the same person inside and the surgery hadn’t changed that. I had to learn how to love and accept myself, regardless of what other people thought of me.
I kind of regret spending the money for the surgery to look a bit nicer guess when someone is emotional we tend to make mistakes.
Although with my new looks I was getting a lot of attention I am still not happy.
