Plastic Surgery

[Rozi]

I really have no problem with it.

If I had the money I'd consider surgery to my body, but not my face. I think facial surgery is a whole different ball game to body surgery and personally I wouldn't want to go there. I'd consider a boob job and maybe lipo, but probably not unless I put on more weight than I have now.

Haven't got any problems with it and I don't really think I'd ever have it unless I really, really hated something.

i've not got any problems with it really, unless they're making themselves look stupid.

Oh my god, that went so wrong!

I'm not a big fan of it, heard all the advantages and disadvantages. It has never been appealing to me and never will.
But if you want it, I wouldn't try and stop any one as it's their opinion on it.

Only if I was in an accident or medically caused (like how some women get breasts removed due to a risk of cancer then get false ones). I don't think "because you're depressed with how you look" isn't really a good reason to get it unless it is some sort of deformity affecting appearance.

i think it's a perfectly plausible reason because depression is a horrible horrible thing and i would really rather someone got up and looked in the mirror and loved themselves for having a pair of fake boobs or having their nose fixed than live their lives upset at something that CAN be fixed.

We all have our own opinions.

whats your views on it?
would you have it? why/why not?
what do you think of it on other's?

I'm like the majority of this thread like Jen for example, take Ashley Tisdale she needed a nose job to help her breathe better or something and I'm fine with that, if it is needed and will ultimately help you in the long run then why not!

I'd only have it if I needed it, I know it would pobably depend what anasthetic too (sorry about spelling) as I had an operation in July for my teeth and it took them 7 attempts (7 needle holes in my arms ) just to find a vein even though I got told I had good veins.

If it looks natural and you can't actually tell then I think it's fine. Although I know I'm not the prettiest person around I don't think I would have it done, I'd be hypocritical as I don't wear make up don't care what I look like etc.

I'd love to have a boob job

I just don't like not being able to jump around with a pair of boobs wobbling away

it looks fun

I have had some facial plastic surgery. It is really common for teens (I had it done when I was eighteen and nineteen) to get minor things fixed now. I don't mean I had a face transplant or anything - I just had my nose and chin tweaked because it really made me upset the way they used to be.

I believe that there is a huge psychological element involved in image-altering surgery and it should be taken with care. There are far too many cases where you see people get so addicted to plastic surgery that they have spent their life savings and are still unhappy. There need to be measures in place to make sure people like that get the appropriate treatment they need instead of falling down that hole.

I don't see a problem, though, with what I did. I felt very uncomfortable with how I looked and a few minor procedures gave me a lot more confidence. In my heart I believe that everyone should feel completely beautiful the way they were born but most people (myself included) are too stuck in society's obsession with image to ignore it. In a way I am contradicting myself here - I understand I am saying one thing and I did another. The main point is that the world we live in makes it very hard to not focus on your image. There are studies that show yearly income positively correlates with 'conventionally good' physical appearance. I find that kind of thing scary. Maybe I had the procedures done out of fear or to make myself feel like I was pleasing others around me. In the end, I am not unhappy nor do I regret it. I am me and this is what happened. I am at peace.

I don't have a problem with anyone who has plastic surgery. It's their body and their choice but I personally wouldn't do it. I would be fearful of waking up not knowing whether it'd gone horribly Joan Rivers/Michael Jackson type wrong.
