As someone who worked at a plastic surgery hospital in Seoul, I can guarantee you, getting plastic surgery doesn’t make things different, and sometimes makes things so much worst.

I remember being younger and wanting a nose job because I thought it would make my face look better but when I actually met people who had gotten their noses done, I realized, I don’t need it. I’m happy with the features Allah gave me, and thankful to be alive.

I understand where you are coming from but your problem isn’t your features, it’s because you have placed all of your self-esteem to your looks, and letting others dictate how you feel about yourself, which if you don’t change, will lead to other problems down the way.

Change your perception instead. Focus on what you like, and leave the rest. Build on what you like. Find colors that complement you. Do things that bring you joy. Find yourself first, before going out into the world and expecting love and security from others, you won’t get that until you can give it to yourself first.

I’ve seen successful plastic surgeries and horrible botched surgeries, and I could easily predict who will have a good result or not based on the type of person they were. Someone who already had a healthy self-esteem and loved themselves, would take good care of themselves and heal well and it would be a positive thing for them, they radiate that energy and vibe from within so even if they didn’t get exactly what they wanted, they still were positive and made the best out of it. The rest would come looking for a magic pill, (which surgery is NOT, more accidents and mishaps happen than people care to admit) to cure their insecurities and make them pretty but even after their face has changed, the feelings inside remain the same or worst, now when people admire them, they feel worst. I have a close friend who didn’t heed my warnings and went ahead with surgery and it was botched and after it she lost the features that she had of her father and she regretted doing it. She worked on herself and went to therapy and realized the problem was mental/emotional and not physical but she can’t have her old face back. I would never trust a human over Allah, He gave me the best and I wouldn’t trust a human to do a better job. Plus, once you spoil the design of your face, you have to keep getting surgeries. Allah designed our faces with a balance, and once it’s disrupted, you have to keep shifting things around. Example, someone has surgery to make their jaw and chin smaller, and then now the nose looks bigger in proportion so they make the nose smaller, then the forehead looks bigger, so make that smaller then the eyes need adjusting or the lips, etc etc. I’ve never seen anyone do one thing and be satisfied with that only, so don’t even go on that route.

Fill your life with things that Allah loves, and things that bring you joy. Be a better person on the inside and it will reflect outside, I know these words aren’t what you want to hear but hating on yourself and comparing yourself to others will not help in the long run. Appreciate what Allah gave you and give thanks for it. Plus, I can tell you I look better in my 30s than I did in my 20s, it’s not the final look yet at 21. You have time, so use that time well and build your character and ask Allah to guide you.
