It looks like bullying is continuing to drive its victim to plastic surgery as a 15-year-old girl named Renata, reached out to a New York-based nonprofit organization called Little Baby Face Foundation by writing a letter to explain her history of being bullied, which eventually led to the teen being home schooled.

According to NBC News, Renata said, "They were just calling me 'that girl with the big nose,'" adding, "It just really hurts. And you can't get over it."

The foundation is dedicated to treating low-income children with facial birth defects for free. After Renata heard of a girl in a similar situation who qualified for treatment Renata tried her luck.

While the Little Baby Face Foundation only treats patients with legitimate facial deformities, the young girl was diagnosed with a hemi-facial microsomia, which is the second-most common facial deformity after clefts.

The hemi-facial microsomia left her face underdeveloped and caused her nose to lean to the left. In turn Renata had reconstructive surgery and was given a chin implant to balance out her face, the youth was completely unaware of her medically-defined birth defect when she reached out to the organization.

Although, LBFF has strict qualifications when it comes to receiving a procedure, experts are concerned by the idea that plastic surgery will fix a bullied child's problems entirely with researchers predicting that more wealthy families will hear Renta's story and decide to look into plastic surgery to fix unnecessary cosmetic issues.

Gail Saltz, a New York City psychiatrist, told NBC, "They may do the surgery and expect happiness to result, or, let's say, 'I'm not going to be bullied anymore. But it may not turn out that way, because bullying is complicated, and usually it isn't down to one physical attribute."

Another issue is that plastic surgery gives the victim a way out but one that is life-altering and allows the bullies to go on being bullies.

Psychologist Vivian Diller asked "Are we saying that the responsibility falls on the kid who's bullied, to alter themselves surgically?"
