hi again

i think i understand how you feel. i used to have body dysmorphic disorder. it's when you see major flaws in your features that don't really exist. it was so bad that i wouldn't allow myself to go outside like i used to or meet people even if i was told that i was beautiful or gorgeous or whatever ppl said. i told myself they were all lies. every single one of them. why they lied, i wasn't sure. i just kept saying to myself, i wish they would stop lying and tell me the truth, tell me the things that i saw. i believed that anyone and everyone was better than me. i skipped dances, social events, parties, etc. if someone asked me out, i automatically said no. in the mirror, what i saw was something totally different. when ppl told me that i didn't need any kind of surgery, i would reinstate in my mind that i did. they said i should live life now, but at that time, i couldn't see how i could live a happy life without changing everything about my appearance. i used to think it was because i was a perfectionist that i wanted all these surgeries done to me. even the surgeons i went to told me there was no reason to do surgery, that i was too pretty to change anything. again, i would tell myself they were lying to somehow make me unhappy. i was so depressed by it. i didn't know what was wrong with me. i didn't know if what i saw was real. i started to doubt myself. i wanted the pain and hurt to go away. i felt so alone. i just wanted to be happy and be someone else and to live a normal life. at times, life seemed so hard and empty that i just wanted to end it.

in reality, it was an illusion derived from difficult experiences of my childhood. things like my mom abandoning me, being raped, things too shameful to say. i felt like nothing, i hated myself, i felt i was unworthy of love, i blamed myself for things gone wrong. somehow i linked all these negative experiences to physical attributes.

i have a much healthier state of mind now and am more realistic about my own looks. it took years to begin to see things differently. now i have grown self-respect and believe that i am beautiful and stand out. n with my new self-confidence, i've heard more of, "you're beautiful" and "your parents must look great" and am believing and accepting it. i'm more outgoing and sociable now. i know i have flaws like anybody else, but i don't let those hold me back anymore. all in all, looks aren't really everything. so don't let it get you down to the point you can't live life. learn to be confident with who you are and what you have to offer and things will go much more smoothly. if you want to improve some things, then go for it. but please don't lose the orginal you to the point you don't look like the same person anymore. only you can be you. don't be somebody else. i use to compare myself obsessively with others and that can only bring you down. what you are now is something special and unbelievable. u can't just take my word for it, u have to believe it.

good luck with ur surgeries. may you have a successful and good outcome and hopefully you look like u, maybe just a better u. take care jake

p.s. i hope to hear about your experience as well as your outcome.

Hi, I am also considering Dr. Shah as well...however I have been reading these past few pages and I was one of the people who posted on the Make me Heal boards (if you couldn't guess, Mani11 is me)..

I know Shah is really inexperienced, which kind of worries me. He seems like a good guy, the results on his website seem pretty good and overall, it sounds like he could give me what I wanted. I am just afraid because he's still building clientele. I like that he only does one nose a day, seems to have lots of experiences with Asian noses, and can do alar base reductions (I don't know how well though..) I don't want a radical change on my nose, but I do need to reduce my alar width a LOT...like I don't want my tip and bridge super high, I just want the bridge thinned out slightly and the tip also less bulbous.

I get the feeling that you are a little skeptical of him, which is perfectly fine. We must all be careful when picking doctors to make sure we don't end up with botched noses. Do you think you could give me more info on why you think he is a little sketchy? I just want to make sure I don't get involved with a con man.
