Plastic Surgery

[critter crazy]

IF money wasnt an issue then I would have to say YES!!

[Rie Rie]

I would absolutely have it done. I would have my eyes done, get rid of the bags, I can live with every thing else.

Never. If you cannot accept as God made me, that's your problem, not mine. No amount of surgery can change who you are inside, and that's what counts.

At one point I was very against plastic surgery; so much that it caused tension in a past relationship. However, I have sense met people that have had plastic surgery and have heard the stores, so I'm not as against it.

I'm against it when it's done for the wrong reasons. I'm not so much against it when it improves someone's life such that they are more confident and feel that they can interact better with society.

I guess in the end I'm still split. I'm not totally against it, but not so much in favor of the excessive uses it has been put to.

Possibly fat removal (liposuction)

[CathyBogart]

I wouldn't, I like myself the way I am. If other people want to, I think that's great. One of my clients at the gym I worked at had some cosmetic surgery done and she was so pleased with herself afterwards. I was really happy for her.

I totally agree. I wouldn't do it if I had millions of dollars to spend. No way. It's our imperfections that give us character and make us who we are inside. Plus, I HATE pain.

If I had the money maybe.

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

I would...

I'm real insecure about my body... and there is one small thing i would loooove to change !!! I don't want to sound shallow... but i think it would be nice to have some self confidence... But who knows.. if I could change it... it may not make me any happier... but i think i would take that chance..

I would love some lipo Just around the stomach area.

My grandmother got a face tuck done around last November. She regretted it so much, as she was in a lot of pain and couldn't host her Thanksgiving dinner two weeks afterwards. She does actually look better, though I don't think she really needed it. She's a very proud person.

I don't really understand things like lip collagen (who wants your lips bigger??) and needless stuff like that.

Karen, You just took the very same words right out of my thoughts!!!


The older I become, the more Seasoned I Appear~

I was meant to Look This Way!!

Well, when you diet your all life, excercise etc, and have a 34/28/48 figure, shockingly receive a beneficiary check from a distant relative, just as you're ready to dig a hole and jump in it because your self esteem is shot and you are called names, you betcha you have plastic surgery. I had lipo years ago as a treat to myself and blessings from my family. Since I wasn't satisfied with the total results, I had it 2 more times for free, all in return for doing PR for the surgeon, as we hit it off.

I'm not a raving beauty. I'm aging gradually, have laugh lines, wrinkles, gray hair, sometimes raccoon eyes. Oh, and, let me add..a sagging chin. Will I have a face lift? I doubt it. I earned my looks. I accept aging with dignity and grace.

But since the lipo, my self esteem just soared! I tuck my shirts in. I can buy a suit in one size. I don't buy 2 sizes too large or walk with my head down. It was that bad, I hated myself, and since I was the only "heavy" person on both sides of my family, I felt like an outcast- I inherited a "bad" gene from somebody way back. Lucky me.

So, in closing (sorry) I think plastic surgery can make a world of difference for self esteem. I don't mean Joan Rivers or people whose faces don't move. There's a limit. Far be it from me to pass judgement. If it makes you happy, fine.

Sometimes there's a thought in my mind that I dont really satisfy with the look I am. And I'm trying so hard to love my look as given by the Creator...

but if there's an opportunity to do plastic surgery... mmm.. I dont think I would take it.

[borzoimom]

I dont even want to have the surgery I have to have tomorrow. To have an elective?? nooooooooooo way... If my looks would make someone like me more, then they are pretty shallow...
