Im considering cosmetic surgery(genioplasty, rhinoplasty). I found some morphing software, and even with conservative alterations, I really like the result.
The problem is that I feel guilty. What I noticed that even though my face appeared more balance, it was still clearly me. How vain do I have to be to obsess over literally millimeters? As one surgeon put it when I went for a consult for jaww surgery, I dont have a disfiguring malocclusion or any functional problems.
Yet at the same time, the morph looked like what I always pictured what I looked like in my head. I think that is what this is really about. Self identity. My other fear is that Ill have a successful surgery and then realize that there is something else about myself that I dislike.
