don’t know where to start

[Steviej86]

hi all

So there’s something wrong with my face however Iv never sort help for it and don’t really know where to start as Iv always been embarrassed to talk about it.

I had rhino plasty 20 years ago and braces twice as a teenager.

I feel very ugly and quit my job and no longer go out or socialise at all. My self esteem is on the floor and don’t know who to speak to in regards to what’s wrong with me but I do suspect I have Hemi facial microsomia that became noticeable from around my teenage years so never had any help with it. Iv always tried to be positive and ignore it.But when people always say stuff like what’s wrong with ur face and ur ugly it grinds you down eventually.

I can no longer ignore it and if I don’t get some help I will no longer be here soon.

Will the go take me seriously or just fob me off and what are the chances of receiving MAXILLOFACIAL surgery on the nhs?

also forget to mention I paid for a private orthodontist assement to see my options for fixing my jaw and she has referred me to the hospital but she was unsure if they would accept me so this hasn’t helped my brief optimism.
