Should I get plastic surgery?

So I need advice more so than an answer to that, which is a little misleading, but it was a straightforward question. And I know there are a lot of these on here and people answer "you don't look bad" etc. And it is annoying sometimes when people don't post pictures, but I'm not due to privacy reasons, which is probably why others haven't either. So I am thinking about reinventing myself (in college, I'm a hs senior and changing in the middle of the year would probably be weird and awkward, for others and me), which would involve changing my appearance. So to give a basic picture of myself, first I'm a guy. I have a sort of big nose with a bump, which I realized today the bump looks bigger on the one side than the other haha. I have a small chin, which I recently realized is why my nose looks bigger than it actually is. And I have a sort of long neck that kind of slouches and my adam's apple sticks out. I also have 2 noticeable protruding moles on my face. (I didn't list any good physical qualities, I know lol). With the moles, I've thought a lot about it and I plan on trying some type of natural removal, so that part can be skipped. With my nose, I don't think I will do anything. I've grown to like my nose. And sometimes I think it is important to study yourself in the mirror just so you can see what other see, even though this has made me feel down before, because I have now settled confusion why I see my nose with a bump sometimes and more straight other times, just a little big-haha. And for my chin- when I pull my jaw forward so that there is an underbite, it looks more normal, as well as my neck (and, I must be honest, I have actually done this before just so I look better in certain places/situations, which is pretty stupid/ridiculous on my part). I haven't had braces or invisalign (yet), but my jaw is aligned properly (my teeth aren't, but doesn't have to do with chin thing). And because it is aligned properly, this is kind of pointless to say, but surgery to move the jaw forward so that I look better, which they of course wouldn't do anyway, would make it extremely hard to swallow. Additionally, my jaw becomes numb and jittery when I've done that before. My throat hurts also. OBVIOUSLY not good lol. So that was a little off-course with what I was saying, but they do have chin implants. However, the problem (more-so society's physical attractiveness issue, cause it;s not a physical problem) i the jaw. All a chin implant would do is make my face look flatter, nose smaller, and bottom half of face fatter. Plus the ethics/morals with that, even more than a nose job. Simply put, I think I'd be happier and I feel confident w.o my moles and when my chin is unnaturally and uncomfortably pushed out haha. So, sorry that was long. Your probably like "just get a psychologist after that novel." It helps to get all my thoughts about it down, though. So any advice, even if it's "stop worrying about appearance" "who cares what others think" "looks shouldn't matter" etc. is appreciated.

1. No, you dont need it be who u are
2. I have no problem with plastic surgery done for the right reasons and the decision is made with a few years of adulthood under your belt. You seem to be on the fence about it now so give it a few years until you're a bit older and more "used" to your body and what body image you have....if you still feel as though getting the chin implant would improve your looks and your self image, then I say go for it. You seem like the type of person that thinks things through and doesn't jump the gun, which is really a great thing at your age, I applaud you for that young man!...I think eventually you will have no problem making the right decision eventually on your own:)
3. I know exactly what you are talking about. Everything you've said I can relate to, lol. I know what it's like to stare at yourself in the mirror for hours in hopes of finally seeing something you like just to make your self esteem even worse in the end. I'm not going to be the guy (or in my case chick, lol) that tells you you're perfect the way you are, learn to love yourself, etc. That's bull****. I know because I've been told that. To be honest, I'm not ugly. Not at ALL actually. I always have dudes stopping and staring and complimenting me. Even total strangers (please don't think I'm bragging or trying to be vain, I'm trying to make a point). But for some reason I can never see what everyone sees. I will never be miss airbrushed barbie doll cover girl I get to see on tv, magazines, bilboards and everything else relating to society's warped ideal of beauty. I don't know what you look like but cosmetic surgery is shallow and ugly within itself. Don't give in to that crap. Seriously. As a matter of fact, I think crooked noses are very attractive and I call my boyfriend's moles 'beauty marks' :). One tip is when you look in the mirror, don't focus on certain aspects of your face or body, NOBODY else does. Just look at the whole picture from the inside out. If you can't find confidence and beauty within yourself without plastic surgery, you won't with it neither. You'll just be in debt and unhappy. You may have heard that before but I've come to find out that TOTALLY true. Anywho, any desicion is completely yours.
