WHY I LOOK DIFFERENT, WHAT I’VE CHANGED + Where I’ve Been | Amelia Liana

[@lilypebbles]

You’re right. And I think the only thing we can do is try our best to raise children who love their unique features and accept and embrace others’. It just takes that one person to make fun of you as a kid to give you an insecurity for life. Sending lots of love. I’m glad you’re happy ❤️

[@The.Caroline]

@@Cristina-ps7om I think you get to a point where if it affects your life that much why not get a surgery? A normal person would never have to answer to why they did a cosmetic surgery, I think Amelia has done it in a very responsible way. It’s different to the people who seem to get every surgery under the sun just because it would be nice or they can afford to.

[@fridaoropeza8965]

While topically applied collagen will moisturize the skin, that's about the extent of what it can do. Applying collagen topically has never been shown to stimulate collagen synthesis or growth. This is because collagens have molecular weights making them too large to penetrate the top layer of skin.

[@AssassinNasa16]

So would you recommend consuming collagen powder or tablets as opposed to wasting money on collagen skincare? xx

[@fridaoropeza8965]

​@@AssassinNasa16 Some studies show that taking collagen supplements for several months can improve skin elasticity, (i.e., wrinkles and roughness) as well as signs of aging. Others have shown that consuming collagen can increase density in bones weakened with age and can improve joint, back and knee pain. But many of these studies are small and funded by companies that make the product, increasing the opportunity for bias in the results. Personally I have ear people tell me they saw and felt improvements in joint, back and knee pain but couldn't tell a difference in the other categories. But if you want big changes on your skin, there are so many other things you can do, and there is a lot of studies backing them off, (i.e., retinol, sunscreen, aha, bha, azeliac acid, niacinamide, ascorbyl glucoside, bakuchiol, peptides, ceramides, lasers, fillers and so many others) I think my biggest advice is know your needs, concerns and things you want to improve on, and approach them from a science perpective (a dermatologist one), so things that matter are ingredients, formulations, try to be gently with your skin and never forget sunscreen

[@nasrisyahaniahmadlutfi1104]

Actually was on the verge of crying when you talked about your insecurity. To be that young and feel like something was wrong with you because of a feature you've been gifted with is a horrible feeling. I remember growing up and constantly being made fun of by boys in my school - they would tell me I was fat over and over, and it made me super conscious about my body. In my late teens, I realized I was not fat at all. Now, I'm even bigger than I was in my teens and it's still a struggle to fully love my body the way it is. I feel super shy showing people my body, having to lift my shirt for even a medical exam scares me still because I'm so scared of being judged for my belly fat or scared that someone's gonna comment about my weight. I think having the right people around you to say you're beautiful is so important albeit a bit superficial. Kids nowadays are so lucky to grow up with role models like Jameela Jamil and these IG pages who are showing what they actually look like irl.

[@katymaloney]

Insecurities can run deep... when I was 16, my mom "convinced me" to have a breast reduction. She basically told me my ample chesticles would give me back pain later, and if we went for surgery before I was 18, it would be covered by family insurance as a "medical" intervention. I remember she had to go to many surgeons, and only one of them agreed to operate on such a young woman.. Ironically, perhaps, it was a woman. My mom straight up told me to lie to the doctor and say my back was hurting. I remember what convinced me to do it was that she told me I would be able to shop for blouses and shirts without worrying about my big boobs fitting them. That, was the convincing argument for 16 yo me. Fashion. I regret it now, there's shame associated to my scars.. Now as an adult, seeing how uncomfortable my mom is with her boobs and her body even now, I realize she was TOTALLY projecting her own insecurities on me. She didn't even realize it, but because she didn't want me to feel insecure about my body, she convinced me to alter it. I'm glad you've waited long enough to make this informed choice of surgery as an adult, and that you're willing to do the work on your insecurities internally, and not just externally! When you let insecurities fester, without giving yourself the tools to work on them, you don't only risk your own well being, but that of others around you, too. Insecurities spread. Not always as dramatically as in my story, but I mean... when you're cultivating a negative body image, others can be lead to having thoughts about themselves, like you with the Gisele example, you compare yourself and those invasive thoughts might end up affecting you. It's almost EXPECTED for us women to hate a part of ourselves, Mean Girls style! So really, being kinder to ourselves and to our bodies is like being kinder to the world. ❤ Whatever works for you, it works for me too! There's no shame in having scars, visible or not. You look great no matter what. Ps, Also love the haiiiir~! 😘

[@hannahr71]

I'm so sorry you went through this. I hope one day you won't feel any shame. Thank you for sharing.

[@katymaloney]

@@hannahr71 Thank you for reading my TED talk!! xD But yeah, everyone goes through things, and shame is a natural feeling for social beings, even dolphins are probably ashamed when they fail to catch a prey in front of their buddies, or have scars from a predator attack. xD It comes with the territory of being self-conscious, social beings. Luckily, I'm a VERY self-aware person, and awareness is the first step in controlling insecurities and feelings of shame! But we're all just human, emotions can also control us, and it's okay to feel the feels sometimes. Being bullied for one's looks or feeling inadequate also makes us more compassionate people, it makes us able to empathize with others going through some similar traumas. 😘

[@unicornimbanff0319]

I'm so sorry your mom did that. That's messed up.

[@katymaloney]

@@unicornimbanff0319 She didn't realize that's what she was doing, in her defense...! (She still doesn't. Which is why it's important to always work on your insecurities, because if you don't, they'll work on you and your loved ones, without you realizing it!)

[@alexisyates28]

[@annievoisei9012]

My mum has severe psoriasis that covers every inch of her body, and when my sister used to ask her what they were she told her they were happy spots. She went to my mum one day in floods of tears because she didn't have any 'happy spots'. She was so envious of something that was, and still is, my mums biggest insecurity.

[@nllove7937]

Such a sweet stories, wishing your mom a cure for her psoriasis, it is not easy living in pain and insecurity. But the mind is a beautiful thing, we can overcome our worst pain by love and there is nothing more loving than a mother (the warrior ones)

You‘re such a gorgeous and heart warming person. I‘m going through a phase of life which isn‘t the most positive one yet. Your videos really keep me calm in more anxious times. And reminde me that the most important thing is to feel good in my own skin. And to make decisions just for myself. It’s only one life we‘re living and we’ve probably all met the „demons“ of our dark thoughts and feelings which sometimes try to put us down. But you‘re spreading such a positive message for all of us. I just wanted to say a quick thank you! xx

I noticed a difference in your nose, but I actually thought you got fillers and not surgery! It suits you, looks really good. Thank you for being transparent - I think it’s really important, especially with young girls, that they know the person they want to look like has had something done. It’s a controversial topic, but it’s a decision you’ve made for yourself only and ultimately all that matters is that you’re feeling good about yourself. I hope you don’t get any hate/negative criticism, I think you’ve been very responsible in sharing with us here on your big platform 😊

[@Kim-rc8ym]

Looks like cheek implants in my opinion cause cheek filler not as sharp looking with the bronzer/blusher(lorry hill videos) older videos cheeks are flat and you lose cheek fat as you age

Absolutely ridiculous that someone would say you have a short torso and it doesn’t look right- you look lovely in a bikini. Wear them, enjoy your beautiful body now.

Now at the age of 38, i live in a eleven year long happy relationship, have real friends around me and i'm fine with my nose. I think it's important to stay away from toxic people who put you down, even if it is your family! Amelia, You are beautiful, before and after the nose job. 😊 everyone finds a way to deal with insecurities, sooner or later.

Hi Amelia, I just wanted to send you some love this morning and say how much I admire your openness and vulnerability on here. It’s so easy for us to sit back and pick at everything but we are not the ones putting ourselves out there. I also want to flag up that after watching many videos of gorgeous girls online, it’s so common to see how even they struggle with various insecurities. It makes me sad that they are exaggerated by the internet but also comforting at the same time to see that we all struggle-and that’s the part of the human experience. Anyway, I hope you are enjoying the gorgeous weather today and maybe I’ll run into you again :p x Christine

I literally feel like Amelia's vlogs are a catchup session with a dear friend! And this vlog was really something. Amelia you are so so beautiful and we are so proud of you! Thank you for your honesty and you have no idea how relatable this is. I have been so insecure about my nose and do not wear bikinis although every front row person in my life tells me there's nothing to be insecure about. I guess it's just some distorted perfect image which we are brainwashed with. They journey on body positivity goes a long way but determined to ace it slowly but surely. You are the girl with a big heart and huge success! Thank you for being like an older sister to me through all your advice and realness

[@ellekene7211]

It just breaks my heart to see such absolutely gorgeous girls feel insecure about your body. I mean, when I heard about the "short body" I couldn't believe it. Not only it not the issue with, it shouldn't be the issue with anyone. When you said that you've been commented on that so many times, my jaw dropped. I mean what kind of comment is that? And what's that about those people who are actually focusing on imaginary flaws but also have the audacity to go with that kind of energy to one of the most gorgeous and stunning girls? I do no care if you change your nose if that makes you feel more comfortable. But it actually bothers me that a girl with such a beautiful, perfect body would feel insecure. I wish you all the best, thank you being yourself and providing us with the beauty and grace.

[@victoriaalliaud7538]

You just helped me realize that the ONLY reason I hate my nose is because a guy I dated like 3 years ago said I had a big nose. I'm happy for you and even though this video is about why you got a second nose job, you've helped me want to work towards not wanting to get one! Thank you, Amelia!

[@jennifer6833]

Amelia... You are seen, you are heard, you are loved. The opinions of the people do not matter, even in saying that I can see where opinions would get to anyone since words can be so painful and cruel. Just remember, people that are cruel in their words toward another person are only a reflection how they feel about themselves at that moment and most likely hold some unfortunate jealousy towards the people they are being cruel to. Amelia you are such a beautiful person inward and outwards, you care deeply, are sensitive, courageous, kind, compassionate minded and you are a person who is a spreader of love. I do understand why you feel what you have felt and you deserve to only feel love in your direction not pain. You are adored. I have been following you for such a long time and I honestly didn’t notice the difference, maybe because I see beauty as more than skin deep. You are one of my favorite people on the planet who I relate with so much. Sending you love ❤️ . I wish for you to have a beautiful week.

It's so wweird, in country where I was born having big nose is and was considered beautiful. I have a small nose and I was always look down for having small nose. Having whit skin and big nose with blue eyes was like the most beautiful woman considered. I have seen girls bleaching their skin to have fair skin and there are girls getting glutathione injections to get fair complexion. Moved to another country and here the beautiful standards are pole apart. . Now I don't even care anymore. People here compliment me for having small nose and golden yellowish complexion. I think we should be happy in our body as we can't please everyone.

[@BeckyTeacup]

I have a lot of thoughts on this... I am a similar age to you, and I think the era we group up in is 100% less damaging than the instant insta world we see today. Seeing models and perfect celebs on magazine covers seemed completely separate to me - because I knew that they lived a different life and they weren't like "normal people" so I would never have to worry about it because I has no interest in being famous etc... Nowadays, people are seeing their friends, families and 'influencers" (who are essentially like your every day celebrity) online instead and everyone is still scared to show their imperfections. We are no longer comparing ourselves to "celebrities" but to everyday normal people on their instagrams accounts - and the problem is that the every day normal people are altering themselves to fit a unobtainable standard for most people. e.g. whether its using simple filters or people having lip fillers etc because its so so easy to get it done now and people are not happy with having small lips (?!?!?!). I totally understand that your insecurity led you to have this procedure, and I know that most of us would have done the same.. I just wish society was different and that we all started to embrace what we have and stand up for it. I am all for this wave of body positivity online now and I hope it continues to grow... for now I don't think it's enough. This age of instagram and youtube etc is such an opportunity to start changing the beauty standards forever!!!! p.s. I also have a 'big nose' and I hope that other people in this club stand with me in accepting our beautiful faces :D

I don't have an older sister and in some ways (sorry this might sound weird) you were that. Watching your videos now and even before, you have always send positive messages in your videos. This video is no different. Thank you for being vulnerable. Thank you for reminding us to make decisions for ourselves (and no one else). Thank you for spreading positivity and hope even during your darkest times. And lastly, thank you for reminding us that no matter what happens...we are all going to be okay.

When you were talking about people saying you have a short torso it also made me think about the fact that you are going to get so much jealousy driven criticism on the internet.

annie I don’t have any

[@LizzyAlexis]

This is so me! I hear you sister! My big nose actually makes me laugh because I know it's so big. I agree with you too, there should be no judgement, only respect and understanding. Insecurities do run deep, that's for sure. Amelia, you are beautiful and deserve to feel beautiful!

[@marieb1758]

You look amazing Amelia and and it's so great that you are happy with your result! The nose still looks so natural, I could barely tell the difference, you've always looked beautiful

[@hkaurd2790]

Loving the new hair, Amelia! Looks natural and healthy 😍

[@amelialiana]

Thank you so much!!!

[@katharineleeder9348]

Please, Amelia ... just do whatever makes you happy and what you want to do ... it’s your life and it really doesn’t matter what others think .... bravo to you!

[@polyannamoonbeam]

Oh dear... the internet can be a ghoul... You don’t have a short torso - you have lovely long legs:) You have to turn those thoughts upside down in a good way. The whole point of KZbin influencers was supposed to be that they were more “human”:)

[@saimahhussain7723]

Influencers should influence postivity and "be you" , who the hell decided whats beautiful and wat isnt, it keeps changing like trends. BE YOURSELF BE HAPPY BE KIND

[@kyladanae]

That’s why I watch KZbinrs because that were more realistic and relatable. When they get work done they become like every other celebrity. If we see more people accepting who they are less people would get plastic surgery and be more confident with what they have. I try to watch women who I thought were similar to me and my body type but then they get work done and d I’m like well shit maybe I need work too. I think it’s sad really.

[@saimahhussain7723]

@@kyladanae Look at your beautiful mind Masha Allah, u dnt need to change anything sis x

[@hanbobanable]

My friend has a body that is similar to yours and I always just thought she had incredible legs!! Never once thought about her torso!

[@leslievalenciano-lopez8887]

You are gorgeous! I’m a Registered Nurse here in Los Angeles and worked in the Operating Room/Theatre for many years. I notice everything about people 😂 and never once did I noticed your nose. You look beautiful and your hair is gorgeous!!! Be sure and get your beauty spots checked annually by a Dermatologist! You are so lovely❤️

[@jocelynjchan]

Hi Amelia! Thanks for sharing, I could've never guessed and you're so brave for sharing. It's also such a shame how when kids pick on others, it has such a lasting effect...

[@amelialiana]

Isn’t that right Jocelyn!

[@cps525i7]

As a child my mom told us to never make fun of anyone or bully anyone and mean it. Parents really need to do a better job, of telling and teaching their kids to be more kind.

[@samanthak2205]

So happy for you! I had a nose job done about a year and a half ago when I was 27. Best decision ever, I wish I’d done it so much sooner. I spent like 8 years researching and looking into it before I went for it. Only met with one doctor but I knew it was the right decision as soon as I had the consult. I don’t think plastic surgery is a decision to be made lightly, but when it’s something that’s such a deep seated insecurity, something you think about on a daily basis, it is 100% worth considering. You look amazing!

[@OM-yj9gm]

Thanks so much for SHARING this. I personally think that there is nothing wrong with plastic surgery, everyone should look however they wanna look and luckyly we have so many medical advantages nowadays to allow us to do that. But I hate when people, specially public people, get stuff done and dont say it. I think that creates so many traumas and unrealistic expectations in girls and affects really badly their mental health. So thanks so much for sharing and being honest!! You look beautiful btw xxx

[@annasophiedame6344]

Love you, Amelia!! No matter what you’ll always have me and a whole load of supportive followers xx

[@annasophiedame6344]

Ps. I think your nose looks amazing, so glad you had a great experience x

[@0o0TheQueenBee0o0]

Your surgeon did a great job, looks very natural and you look beautiful.

[@amelialiana]

Aww thank you!!

[@gemmaross6794]

I grew up with horrendous cystic acne, and I remember when I was 16 I had a Saturday job in John Lewis. And one day a little girl was shopping with her mother and she came up to me and said ‘what’s wrong with your face?’. I’m 38 now but I never forget how awful and upset I felt by that comment. You look amazing either way Amelia ❤️

[@carramaus]

Ugh, I was the little girl in a similar situation! When I was a kid I saw a lady in the super market who had been horribly burned, and I whispered something about her looking like a monster to my mother, and the poor lady definitely heard it. Almost 30 years later and I still could cry thinking back to how that must have made that woman feel. 😞 maybe the little girl who stuck with you feels the same way!

[@kathyjordan4863]

Amelia you are such a warm and kind person and that is what I see in you, God bless you

[@makeupjunkie6838]

First, you’re beautiful. Period. Inside and out. Sweet, beautiful little angel. There is nothing wrong with you. Second, it’s your nose, and your decision, and do what you feel you need to do for yourself. It looks amazing. People try to make me feel bad for doing Botox and injections but it gives me more confidence. So, it’s all good! But just know, you’re beautiful no matter what!

[@missmrocks]

Your new hair looks beautiful. You are reminiscent of Amal who is absolutely classy. 😍

[@hn5900]

YES

[@darcyashley3889]

You've done a service to us all speaking about what influenced your decision on choosing a doctor- which applies to any medical situation. Your confidence in paying attention to your instincts about who was a good fit is to be commended. This is empowerment and an important lesson.

[@yoyoyazzy]

Me: need to get ready for the day Also Me: ... Amelia’s video is up and I haven’t seen this girl in 2 weeks... *watches video*

[@amelialiana]

Aww hii yasmin!!!

[@HotaruRea]

I've been your subscriber for years now but haven't been watching your videos consistently, mostly because life and mood and youtube algorithm. I just wanted to say that I appreciate how real you are with us, your subscribers, and that hasn't changed much since I started watching you. I always thought you're beautiful and I appreciated that you are not doing a lot of body modifications to look like one of million girls on IG now with literally the same face and same body. I still appreciate that. This video is honest and lovely and your new nose suits your face and you still look uniquely you, beautiful as always. I always thought that plastic surgery is successful if it makes person who got it feel better about themselves and therefore improves their quality of life. It seems like your rhinoplasty did that for you, which makes me very happy for you. I hope you're feeling as good as you look in this trying year and I'm sending you all my love.❤️

[@kristinebernhart9495]

When you described your torso, I pictured Kermit the frog. And you look nothing like him. Your torso looks perfectly normal, and you look great. Can't understand why anyone would criticize your torso...

[@lauralee9041]

You have not disappointed anyone. You have to do what makes you feel happy. To me you have always been beautiful, I am glad you will feel beautiful and happy. Thank you for sharing.

[@floriemaya]

If something impacts on your life and you can change it, why not. You do you boo x gorgeous either way x

[@hillarykhong5516]

Amelia, you are so brave to talk about your insecurities online and to take that step to make yourself feel better. 😍

[@Eanasibrahim1997]

Love the shorter hair on you 😍

[@amelialiana]

Omg thank you!!

[@essielovescinnabon9588]

Same I'm a long hair fan and have long hair all the time. I'm so shocked at how amazing it looks and that you actually look prettier, as if that was possible! Really really looks so nice, shiny and just beautiful.

[@bridgetyaqihuang2236]

Omg Amelia! I didn't notice that until you shared it here. You are so brave for going through this operation (I cannot never imagine a knife on my face), and even braver for sharing all these online! Love you as always!

[@asmalimam402]

i'm so sorry you felt this way at such a young age and if this makes you feel better, then I'm happy for you :) and the hair!! woooow its soooo much better!! i can't wait to see you style it with your usual waves and curls! i was actually thinking myself if making my hair darker :) this is amazing inspo! and God I missed Duke and Leo!!! and you of course and your chirpy self! love you Amelia :) xoxo

[@plasticsandcastles]

I love the new cut and colour. After all the change and growth you've gone through over the past year + it feels right and looks great!

[@AP-oq5jn]

As cliche as it sounds...how you feel is the most important thing. You’re as beautiful as ever (and your surgeon did an amazing job!) but I’m sure your personality, beautiful energy and values is mainly why so many people relate to you and enjoy your content 🙌💕

[@TheGryffindorable]

You have such a beautiful heart and warm aura thank you for always sharing the highs and the lows in such an authentic and honest way❤️ hearing about your experiences as a young girl made me feel so sad for you and how you felt. You‘re a wonderful and lovely soul and truly beautiful

[@lak1ss]

Amelia ❤️ thank you for sharing. Completely understand when an insecurity is so deep rooted. You were beautiful before and you’re beautiful now xx

[@annamiotello4118]

Wow Amelia! I had such similar experiences when I was younger (it wasn't about my nose though) and can totally relate to the feelings you described. Just like you, to these day, I get the urge to cry every time I talk about it. I always brushed it off as an unpleasant experience, but when I was talking to my therapist about it, she looked at me and said "I can see you are hurting". This made me realise how these experiences can really have a huge impact on us, a sentence like that can really make us hurt for a long time. I think it's so unfair how you and I both were judged for our natural features so early on, at an age where you barely have a perception of how you look like. I definitely felt robbed of my blissful unawareness of my body. I hope you are happy with your decision and the final result. Sending lots of love!

[@carolinaochoa7900]

Swelling apart, it's looking like a great nose job, and the timing is perfect with all the face mask wearing while it heals completely. Your hair looks gorgeous, very classy and elegant, and the jewelry is lovely as well.

[@melanienocher4601]

Aww Amelia, I’m totally with you! I had a rhinoplasty about 6 or 7 years ago. My nose is still not the perfect nose but people don’t stare at me or comment on it and that’s good enough for me. People can be so cruel and when I was younger I’d always be turning my head or covering my face with my hands to hide my nose. It’s such a relief to no longer have that stress in my life! You nose looks great, it’s a very subtle change and you still look like you xx

[@LailliMirza]

Omg your nose looks incredible!! 🧿

[@vashappeninlainey]

I was just going to comment but you both now have a tad resemblance to each other with her new nose ✌🏾

[@TheCiamarie]

Love seeing you Lailli commenting here. Two beautiful women.

[@vashappeninlainey]

Tiff Prendergast it’s not that different tbh watch the prev vlogs for reference. I reckon she just fixed the bridge (obv not an expert here) (:

[@sanazjunjun]

Was this her 2nd rhinoplasty??

[@harriet6838]

The first time someone told me I had a big nose was when I was 8. And then it felt like it never stopped. I had a nose job when I was 18.. I was so excited, I couldn’t wait to look at it. They shaved the bump but it was still big, I was absolutely devastated. You are so right when you say imperfection is perception. I am currently looking into filler options. Thank you for being transparent, thank you for being a roll model and opening up about your journey. It makes people like me feel less alone. Also you are beautiful!!

[@amandassasj9967]

Wait I never noticed anything about your nose or your body?! I still don’t really because you’re so beautiful and you have family and friends that one could only dream of having! But now that you have done this I’m so happy that you feel more confident. You do you! Go Amelia!

[@amandarose7874]

You are beautiful Amelia, before and after. I'm sorry anybody ever made you feel different. I think as long as you're doing the surgery for yourself and not trying to be somebody else there is nothing wrong with cosmetic procedures. I honestly couldn't tell!

[@786imrana]

I’ve just had a nose surgery too, so completely get where you’re coming from. Sending you love ❤️

[@a49-n2o]

Noses are one of the biggest common insecurities I've noticed - I had it for the longest time and would always look at all my friends/girls in the same year during class and just wished I had their nose, their face shape, their lips. Sometimes I tried to make it better by telling my friends I didn't like my nose, hoping they would reassure me with sincerity that they disagree - but I was never satisfied because I always felt they were lying. But that's what happens when you rely on other humans to give you gratification and validation, you only think you're beautiful if somebody else sees it (especially the popular, or 'attractive' people). What I eventually realised through life was this holy trinity: Heart, Mindset, Company. Heart - even the most outwardly attractive people can look ugly when their character, morals and heart are all ugly. You notice it and you notice that those who are so good and kind glow the brightest to you, they radiate and you feel safest around them, you find them genuinely beautiful in an infinite, sustainable way. Mindset - Finally understanding that beauty is so much based on perspective. People fall in love with all sorts of features, because it's so personal. The most beautiful woman award will never ever be agreed upon because the comments will name another woman they find more beautiful (to them). Company: When I got to college and uni, I realised the friends I chose to hang around (thank God) were those who didn't focus on appearance and gossiping about people's flaws but on bettering themselves and their faith, on learning to benefit those around them. I realised I had the power to choose who I spent my time and mind with (including in when choosing my partner), and who I would not spend another moment with except for politeness. I pray we all can teach this shift to the future generations AND our own, because we there's so much beauty in all of us that we don't see!❤ Also, in my faith there's this prayer that is recommended for us to say when we look in the mirror: "God, beautify my character as You have beautified my creation" I love it because it reminds us every single day that we are made perfectly and that what counts more than anything is our heart and our character 🌼🙏🏼 P.S I also was taught moles were beauty spots!! So thankful

[@Suella624]

Honestly your new nose is your old nose but a little better. The rhinoplasty didn’t change your appearance at all. I can see a slight difference but you don’t look like a total different person. So no I didn’t have that “Oh 🥴” feeling when seeing your nose. You are beautiful though and always have been (but I know these insecurities way too good). Xx

[@gillsargisson8863]

I was in tears with you, I was bullied as a child and know that children can be so cruel. You are a truly beautiful person, inside and out. You look amazing & it is incredible of you to be so honest with us all. ❤️❤️❤️

[@PatriciaAshwood]

Spoiler: I was sitting there muttering “tell us about the rhinoplasty!” Full disclosure - I’ve had various surgeries & procedures. It’s good to talk.

[@manamyst]

You know what? Good for you! People should do whatever makes them happy and more confident! We all have insecurities and if this helps you make peace with that, more power to you! I think you are very brave for sharing this, it's not easy but you owning up to it is a sign of strength ❤️

[@EmilyHeartsCookies]

Your body is your body. But it is naïve to say: "This youtuber's decision to get surgery made ME feel a bit "Oh" about my nose - but I certainly hope that my decision to get surgery doesn't make YOU feel a bit "Oh" about yours". Why should it not? You are absolutely entitled to do whatever you want to do. Without judgment. But you are now to others what Gisele or the other youtuber were to you. To think otherwise is just wishful thinking.

[@nightsky6413]

When you cried I cried. You're amazing for sharing this with us. Sending you a big hug and you look amazing by the way, just like you always do. 💙

Thanks honey!!

[@DeTodoUnPoco281]

Hi Amelia, I used to watch your videos years ago along with other youtubers, as I grew up my tastes changed (mainly that these channels focus a lot on constant aquisition of clothes, makeup, etc. and on your physical appearance and I'm more focused on other aspects and view fashion differently now), I still enjoy watching some of your videos from time to time and I'm glad to see that you remain consistant and true to yourself. I wish you the best and hope that you are satisfied with your results, I want to recommend that you see someone about the insecurities that you mentioned because these are usually very internalized and can really affect you as you move forward and mature as an adult. ♡
