Why? Does someone need psychotherapy before they consult someone to remove a bump from their nasal dorsum?
This is what I term the "cult of self esteem". That the idea that you may have low self esteem is so feared that people are afraid to admit they may not like their nose or their boobs without being told they need to see a psychiatrist before they do grave harm to themselves.
Armchair psychology in full force.
If it was a simple rhinoplasty that would be one thing but that's not what you're contemplating.
And, yeah, after a career in mental health I guess I do indulge a bit.
The "cult of self esteem" tells me that too many people are way too fragile while others are shallow. Self esteem is neither a mandate nor an entitlement. It's also not something that can be surgically implanted. That's merely illusionary.
This loss of interest with sex might be caused by getting all that nice fat liposucked off your body...To create estrogen- the female hormone that makes you a woman and provides the sex drive...can only be created with the help of body fat- no fat - no woman...Guys wonder why super skinny girls are so hard to connect with- I would say that they have no fat..and probably like a starved female in a famine- no period either...be careful you don't remove what is left of the woman in you.
Cos you might look hot but be just be an it- but from what I see - you don't mind being an it...You have it- and you either use it or lose IT..

I've already had non surgical jaw reduction through Botox, have a breast augmentation scheduled in 2 weeks, plan on a rhinoplasty and liposuction. Nothing about that seems extreme.

Perhaps it isn't except in toto but my guess is that if I knew what you looked like before or even now I'd be less critical of you than you are.
Of course, the possibility exists that I could be totally wrong.
I have the opposite opinion. It sounds to me like you need some "me time." Many people find as they are focusing on transforming themselves (through weight loss, education, whatever) do not feel like adding something else to their lives at that point. All of their attentions are focused elsewhere.
I don't think you mentioned how long this whole journey will take for you, but I'd recommending staying the course for a month, and see how you feel then. It is OK not to want to date for a little while while you are focusing on something else.

Thank you. I did mention to my sister that I do feel like it's "my time" and I want to "do me" for the time being. I feel like I've wasted so much time with my life heavily involved in dead end relationships where I've lost myself. I want to do everything I can for me, to help me get to where I want to be.

Maybe its because I'm from LA (and nip/tucks are so commonplace) but I'm really not seeing why this is even an issue.
You have to separate these two things:
1) There is nothing wrong with having cosmetic procedures to improve your looks. So go for it!
2) Cosmetic surgery will not change anything regarding your relationships and your inability to maintain your identity while in these relationships. You will have to work on the "inside" for that to be improved. Remember that some of the most beautiful women in the world have been dumped, cheated on (often times with a MUCH less attractive woman) and had their hearts broken. So being "hot" is not going to resolve relationship/intimacy issues. Internal beauty truly radiates so focus on that aspect too.

WTF does that mean!?! How the heck does less estrogen, no periods, and/or less body fat equal not being a woman? If she has two X chromosomes, she's a woman. And how does low body fat make a woman hard to connect with?
While a certain percentage of body fat is needed for estrogen production, and therefore, periods, liposuction would not remove enough of the overall percentage to lead to loss of menses. Even elite level female athletes can still have enough body fat so that menses is not lost. A woman would generally have to be more than just super skinny. She would have to be severely malnourished too. Even women living in conditions of famine can still have children. It's not so much the body fat itself, it's the fat/cholesterol available from digestion (and stored in adipose and other places) needed to make estrogen, it's derivatives, and other steroid hormones.
This has got to be one of the dumbest posts I've ever read.

Oh please don't misunderstand. I don't think working on my looks will improve the nature of the relationships that I get into! I just think my energies are best temporarily focused at least on doing everything I can to indulge myself, instead of worrying about someone else. I also hope that after I see how much pleasure I derive spoiling myself, everything else will seem not as important.
