Hi, I am a 27 year old Medical Science graduate from Hamburg. My goal is to be a physician scientist and perform research in the field of oncology more specifically in neuro-oncology. Since my childhood I have been suffering because of my large nose which I inherited from my father.
Besides the aesthetic issues I have with the nose I also have emotional issue with it as it reminds me of my father and we have had and still have a very difficult relationship.
During my school years I was bullied because of my large nose and called “the most ugly person” and other things. Even my stepmother called me ugly once because of that large nose. Since then I have avoided taking pictures or socializing much because I do not feel pretty enough.
When I was 15 I went to a plastic surgeon for a first consultation but the surgery was just too expensive for me.
I am still in my training years to become a “proper” scientist and hopefully improve people’s lives at some point so at the moment I do not have the funds to have the surgery. However I have been suffering because of this nose such a long time and I really just want it to change. This is why I am writing to you to help me change my nose and therewith my confidence.
I would be very very grateful. Svenja
