Ever consider plastic surgery?

[Bear-Max]

There are far more terrible things going on in the world, but a bit of TLC for oneself isn't such a bad thing. It feels good to be able to look in the mirror and say "Damn... I look GOOD!", but how far would you go to look good? Would you ever consider plastic surgery to enhance your looks?

I'm fine with people having plastic surgery, as long as it doesn't look fake or is unnecessary. I've come to absolutely hate my nose over the past few years, and I'd honestly consider rhinoplasty to make it look better. Some people may object but I think it's something that would make me feel a whole lot better about myself, and thus more confident. I guess this is quite unusual for a lad.

I think next year I'm also going to get veneers put on some of my front teeth (they were never bad enough for a brace when I was younger, and veneers are cheaper than getting a brace for a year or two).

What are your guys' (and gals') views?

[PaulMacC]

no .

[:Liam]

NO WAY! Its narsasitic and its disgusting altering your body for vanity?

Umm, I don't think I need it. That sounds really vain lol, but it's true, I'm more than happy with what I look like and plastic surgery wouldn't help. If getting your teeth done counts as cosmetic surgery then count me in. As long as they're not bright white and I look like an idiot, I don't mind, like you said, when people have it done and they look fake, it's hideous. Maybe if I got a bit of sagging skin here and there before I was meant to I'd get surgery. Like some people get really bad turkey chins at 30-40. If anything I'd want to look decent for my age.

[brandon]

i think i look ok n would never consider plastic surgery

[Caution]

n o .

[RedStratocas]

Im the hottest person alive, so I dont need it.

I can understand a little bit if youre really self conscious about something, but some people go overboard.

[GJay]

Hmm if we're talking body enhancements as general, i'd get a **** job go from E to like F or something.
I wanna get an acid patch for my face too it needs renewing. get rid of all the dead skin and surface wrinkles xD stress wrinkles may i add :P

[Bef]

My nose is all wonky cos iv broken it so often. Id love to be able to change it. I think plastic surgerys fine.
Bear-max your the same as me, they wouldnt giv me a brace cos they said my teeth wernt bad enuf but i hate them. I got a gap and a chip ;[ I want veneers. Il get some when i get back from travelling.

[GJay]

I have slightly crooked teeth and I wouldn't mind braces just to have them perfectly straight.

ooo wouldn't mind having my lips pouted a bit actually....

[Immenseman]

Nope, well unless i was in a really bad accident.

[GJay]

I hate a mate who was thrown off a horse her whole face was practically ripped apart. she had plastic surgery looked like a totally different person. her eyes were still the same you could see her old self shining through.

[FlyingJesus]

Don't need it.

[womanizer]

my sisters had a **** job and shes getting a mole removed soon.

[FlyingJesus]

pixpls

[-Soph-]

i'd maybe go up a **** size, thats it, and I wouldn't want them like INYOURFACE, just something a little bigger.
thats all.

[:Hazel]

No I have never liked the idea of it.

[Hurts]

Had it once when my lip go bite of by my dog :( but other than that i don't think i would want anything done.

[Yaesu]

Yeah id like a chemical peel to get rid of ma spots but thats about it.

[Dubble]

No. .

[You]

No I have never liked the idea of it.
Same..

[Lubricant]

My cousin had her nose done because she got the family nose (Bit of a buldge at the top of the nose) I didn't get it =].

[UnderGROUND]

Yeah id like a chemical peel to get rid of ma spots but thats about it.

It's not narcissistic at all. Some people have it done to give them that extra confidence.

[,Jess,]

I would never have anything done on my face because I've seen too many horror stories on tv lol but I think some people benefit from it a lot because it gives them more self-confidence however people can get addicted and make themselves look imo a lot worse

[Soka]

nah, you should accept how you look imo, and not change it.

in some extreme cases yeah i agree in it - for example the french woman who got her face bit by a dog, and basically needed a face replacement to make her look ''normal'', but you can tell shes had it anyway.

i've changed one thing and thats to have braces to make my teeth perfectly straight :D

[Krusty]

if i had the money.
and it wdnt make me look fake.
thn yee i would.
bt otherwise
no.

[clarissa !!]

[Bear-Max]

Thanks for everyone's opinions :)

To those of you just saying "no" though... Why? This thread isn't necessarily about you PERSONALLY getting plastic surgery. If you don't want it, fair enough, but is there a reason? Or are you just flat-out against changing what you look like?

I really would NEVER consider anything more serious than a nose job. Why? Because I don't feel I need anything else. I'm (for the most part) fine with the way I am, and if I wanted to alter the one thing that annoyed me about myself, then whose to say I can't. I'd never do it because I was under the impression that it was going to make me instantly popular or more attractive to the opposite sex, because it probably isn't. However, I think it would give me a bit more confidence.

[Ostinato]

I'd get laser eye surgery done, lol. Many people class that as plastic surgery as it's cosmetic...

[Aces]

Why change yourself when god made you like you are? So my answer is no.
Eye surgery has a big risk included.

[Bear-Max]

I'm not religious, so God really doesn't come into the decisions I make I'm afraid.

And laser eye surgery does carry a slight risk, but is on the most part a successful procedure. The problem lies with the fact that it only really lasts a maximum of 10 years.

tell that to the muslims that cover up the body god gave them..

[Mr.OSH]

100% No... I'll Stay how I am if I look ugly or not..

[Nixt]

Nope not unless, as people have said, I became deformed as a result of an accident or whatever. Mainly because I am very comfortable with the way I look.

[cocaine]

yeah .

[RedStratocas]

err only if i became deformed like i got attacked by a bear or something.

Watch out for helen.

@all you people saying its wrong etc: whats wrong with having more confidence? If you dont want to do it, you dont have to. If youre against plastic surgery, then that means you must be against wearing makeup, dying your hair, and painting your fingernails.

[Kymux]

why? it doesnt make you a better person... just one covered in fake skin

unless you were a burn victim or something

[PaulMacC]

She's the cat

[Jamie!]

nah, i'm too fit as it is.

if anything, i could do with a reduction in size down below if you can count that as plastic surgey?

[Aces]

Thats only the very religious muslims.. All of them dont go around covered like the sun light was gonna kill em.

[Bear-Max]

Covered in fake skin? Skin grafts are often used only for people in accidents or for burns. Like I've said, I know it won't make you a better person, or more popular, or more attractive, but it can give you MORE CONFIDENCE. More confidence inevitably leads to more happiness as you feel more comfortable with who you are.


if anything, i could do with a reduction in size down below if you can count that as plastic surgey?
Yes, that's still plastic surgery. And it's still changing something about your body that makes you feel more comfortable. Can anyone really argue that it's that much different to someone getting a breast augmentation or nose job?

[dirrty]

yeah i would. proberly get a nose job of some sort. dont like mine. its like in your face. lol

proberly get other stuff aswell cause i dont exactly feel comfortable or anything when i walk down the street or anything.

[Ashhizzle]

no fnx babe

[Eamonn]

I doubt I would have it personally, but I am for others having it, if it boosts their confidence and makes them happier.

[le harry]

Nah, i'm happy with how I look like :)

[clarissa !!]

actually i'd have that lazer eye correction thing

[summer]

nah i wouldn't have like proper plastic surgery. i'm not totally unhappy with my body, and surgery is expensive and could easily mess up, leaving you a bigger problem.
