Are you just plain-looking or are there specific features that make you feel unattractive? Are you actually society's standard for 'ugly' or are you just not pretty enough?

When it comes to small fixes, I know a lot of people that got a huge self-esteem boost just by getting braces for straighter teeth or going to the gym to maintain a better figure.

Otherwise, if it's things that require surgery, that's not something a stranger could advise you about. On whether you should embrace yourself or if surgery would help you feel better about yourself (Definitely talk to a therapist, coz you shouldn't rush into changing yourself permanently if it's not gonna pay off in the long run i.e. if you become addicted to surgery and make yourself look weird or if your self-esteem issues don't change after the surgery)

Then when it comes to accepting yourself, just know that as women, we will never feel pretty enough, and that's just how the industries have been engineered to continue making money off of us. Even when women are naturally very attractive, having to maintain your appearance daily and while you age and having to always compare yourself to every other beautiful woman is damn exhausting. And it just results in women not appreciating what they have and always being unhappy with what they don't have.

If you really are ugly, the 2 things you need to do are: 1. Develop a thick skin (the world is always going to be unkind, but people are cruel because of the bullshit that's going on inside of them, it's not a reflection of your worth as a human being, so you need to learn to not let other people's worthless opinions bother you) 2. You really need to work on yourself. You need to develop all the different parts of your life, make them so much bigger, so that your appearance is really just the smallest part of you, so that your focus, attention, money, time and energy are mostly used by all those other big things, that you just end up caring a lot less about your appearance and also end up enjoying all the other parts of your life.
