Plastic Surgery

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.

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.

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.

I agree with Karen. For the most part I'm completely against it. The only time I think it's acceptable is for health reasons. (for example- SoAndSo was in a car accident and got a badly broken nose. He now can't breath well through it and the only thing that will help him is reconstructive surgery.) If it's purely for cosmetic reasons, I'm against it.

I'd have a facelift in a heartbeat if it wasn't so expensive. Two of my friends had them in their 60's and believe me it took 10-15 years off their age. I truly believe that when we look better we feel better. Who hasn't had a bad hair day or picked out an outfit that we wish we hadn't put on in the morning and hasn't had it affect them a little that day? Who doesn't wear make-up at least occasionally?

Of course there are people who become addicted to this type of thing (Michael Jackson comes to mind ) and that is sort of sad. I occasionally watch a program on Discovery Health where very severely deformed people are helped by plastic surgery. For them it makes the difference in living or hiding.

Truly it is a personal issue but I wouldn't judge anyone for making this choice.

I plan on having a breast reduction once we are done having children, but I'm not sure if that falls into the classification of Plastic surgery you are talking about. They are a too large for my frame and cause back issues from time to time.

I wouldn't consider any other kind of plastic surgery at this time.
