My friend wants to get plastic surgery
What can I say to my friend to make her okay with her nose?
She wants to get plastic surgery in the future but her nose is so pretty. She doesn’t like it cause it’s “too large at the sides and stuff” but it’s so unique and really just makes her stand out wonderfully. If she gets the job then she’ll become conventional and I won’t tell her this but it would make her less beautiful, because the photoshop she does implicates what she wants and it makes her look boring, though she is very beautiful. I just want her to see that there is nothing wrong with her, that she is probably some model recruiters wet dream due to her height and looks but she just doesn’t see it and it’s like she never sees what makes her so beautiful and she has to photoshop her eyes and her nose and everything until she looks nothing like a real person much less herself
It just makes me frustrated and I told her if she does it I won’t talk to her for however much she paid for it but we’ve been friends for more than a decade and talk everyday so I would hate that

Honestly it’s her choice. If she’s doing something she wants then it really isn’t your place to try and talk her out of it just because it would make her look ‘boring’. Also threatening to cut her off if she does it is a whole different level of disrespect. You’re just a bad friend in this scenario. reply
why would you not talk to your friend if she has a different nose? If you really love her the way she is, you would want her to be happy with the way she looks, plastic surgery or not. 2 reply
sometimes it's not your call, and holding your decade old friendship over her head like this is immature and i doubt will really change her views on anything. insecurity isn't something that can be changed so easily; if she decides to go through with it, it ultimately is her choice. just be a good friend and support her. remind her that she's beaut...... reply
Is it too hard for you to comprehend that beauty standards are subjective and maybe she doesn't agree with you?? Ngl, you're a terrible friend for threatening silent treatment. I'm in shock you actually wrote this shit and thought anyone would agree with you. I guess if you want to convince her, just say the nose she wants is ugly since you've alre...... 1 reply
I understand that you just want to save her from making a mistake that is irreversible but threatening her with your friendship is not the way.
You should stand with her no matter what she chooses to do.
I'd research on videos of the negative impact of plastic surgery and the risks of it to show them to her.
Also... tell her that she should give he...... reply
She may think the photoshopped image is the more beautiful version of herself and she wants that image to become her reality. It won't matter how many people insist that she's beautiful as she is if she has convinced herself that she is ugly compared to the idealized image in her head. The best you can do is listen to her and try to get her to expl...... reply
