I had the occasional comment about my larger-than-life nose at school (I look like Worzel Gummidge), along with the โ€˜flat as an ironing boardโ€™ slights on my appearance.

And there were plenty of times between then and about five years ago when I would spend hours poring over cosmetic surgery sites.

But when push came to shove, and I finally saved up enough for the procedure, I decided to buy a house instead.
