I am asian, and I think my nose is quite broad and quite flat. Compared to others, it is not that bad, but I'm just not satisfied with the look of it. I want something like the nose of Lucy Liu, it has a prominent bridge and it is narrow.
The thing is, I need to ask the permission of my mom! We are not close, and I think I'm (middle child) her least fav. child out of her 5 children.
I think I have enough money in the bank to pay for my own beauty enhancement, and I'm old enough to have rhinoplasty because I'm turning 21 in July.
Pls. give me tips and strategies so that she will say yes!
Hiya,
You should talk to a surgeon about your nose. The shape of it will match your cheekbones and chin shapes so if you change it too drastically then it won't suit your face and will be 100 times worse. Your surgeon will talk this through with you, so just remember that you aren't Lucy Lui so a different nose may suit you better, no matter how much you like that one :P
Why do you have to ask your mother's permission if you are paying and you're 21?
Hmm...well does she know you want this done? Like, have you mentioned it in the past? If so, just say 'hey mum, I really want to get my nose done and now I'm old enough and have the money I thought why not? I'm going to do this whether you approve or not, but I did want to ask your opinion'. (Because if she doesn't like the idea...that's her problem. You're an adult, you don't need her permission). If you haven't mentioned that you want surgery, tell your mum how fed up you are of your nose (maybe emphasise it a bit by adding in stories of anyone who teased you about it when you were younger, if they did). DON'T say you want to look like Lucy because then it'll be like you just trying to be like a celeb in your mother's eyes, rather than you trying to make the best of who you are. Ultimately this is your decision - remind her of that. She'll just be pleased you went to her for her opinion. Make it sound like you really care what she thinks and went to her because you CAN - not because you HAVE to.
Maybe spend a day before hand doing stuff for her or taking her out somewhere so she's in a good mood before you ask? You could see a model or a photo in a shop window and say 'I wish my nose was that thin' to start off the conversation.
Hope that helped!!
Blessed Be,
