    Hi,

    I think that you should try to live with it. Don't EVER let anyone make fun of you for how you look. Okay, they might not be making fun of you as such, but don't let yourself be affected by the comments being directed at you. I have a slightly offset nose (I was punched a few years ago), and I have moles on my face which I hate too, but what the hell do I care? If anyone comments on my nose (which they rarely do), I just say 'so what?'.

    Do'nt resort to this plastic surgery stuff... ...please. If yuo do it, then you'll just find some other thing 'wrong' with your body and want to change that too.

    My boyfriend is in a similar position as you, and he doesn have hair to cover it!! When we start going out he felt the need to 'assure' me he was getting surgery, and i just couldnt agree with it, a friend of mine got it done,and he just looks so different, although they might feel like there sticking out loads, they can be quite proportioned to your features head size etc, also to people who make comments, they CLEARLY have no life when they have time to do this, and there is PLENTY of up do's you can create that can help maybe feel more comfortable with.... You should embrace what ya have, and make things work to your liking before you take drastic action like surgery!

    Good Luck :)

    Ive one ear that sticks out more than the other.

    Apparently when I was born the docs told my mother to tape my ears back with plasters for a few weeks otherwise Id grow up with them sticking out. She was totally affronted at a doctor insinuating there was anything wrong with her brand new perfect baby so she ignored the advice (to my teenage detriment!!!).

    Anyway one side stuck out more than the other. I spent most of my teens always sleeping on the sticky out side in hopes itd push it in a bit.

    It didnt, but as Ive grown older it doesnt stick out nearly as much. Maybe I just grew into it.

    I dont know what age you are OP but honestly, mine improved naturally loads and loads through my 20s. Im mid 30s now and its not something I even think about anymore.

    I just had a look in the mirror and the sticky out one is still more out than the other, but only Id notice it.

    Dont do the plastic surgery if you can help it, learn to love yourself and your quirks.

    Hi op...

    Im guessing that you are taking the idea of surgery really seriouslly...
    Would it be possible for you to speak to a counsellor before hand?

    it would be a good idea to knock any issusses out of the way beforehand...not saying there is any..but may save you a lot of money....and its good to talk ;)
