Plastic Surgery

Would you? wouldn't you? Have you? ... Honestly if money wasn't an issue.

I think I would, I'm a very shy person and if it meant me being more confident with myself I would definatly do it. At the moment Im eating healthy and Im achieving the results I want by doing it that way but I've thought about it seriously before, Not yet obviously but when Im older.

Opinions?

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

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)

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.

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.
