plastic surgery - is it anti feminist?

so ive been really insecure about my nose since i was like 11 years old and now that im an adult the insecurity hasn’t gone away, but i have the ability to save up and get a nose job. but i feel like getting an invasive procedure to make my nose “smaller” and conform to what society deems as “more feminine”/beautiful/cute would go against feminist principles as most beauty standards for women are pedophilic (hairless body, big eyes, “innocent” look, small figure) and colonialist (speaking from my own pov, for asian people they always prefer pale women over dark skinned women and women with lighter hair and colored eyes are also praised and seen as more beautiful and unique).

idk, do i learn to live with it or should i get the surgery? i feel like i’d be going against my own principles if i get it but living like this has become miserable, and i feel like i should just get rid of it and that maybe i’d be happier if i just got the surgery. thoughts?
