What do you think of Plastic Surgery

[Empired]

When people say "medical problems" isn't being unhappy about how you look a medical reason if it gets too serious? It can lead to depression and stuff so if you can have plastic surgery done properly and if it'll make you happier, go for it imo

Absolutely, dysphoria is very much a medical problem and should be treated as one. Wouldn't suggest that it should be on the NHS except for extreme cases (as is the current policy I believe) since as has been mentioned, there are generally underlying problems which should be looked into first, but personally I think that anything which makes a person happier and doesn't harm anyone else shouldn't be stigmatised

i'd never have it done and don't have anything against those that have had it done or want to. i completely agree with people that have medical reasons to have plastic surgery, especially if it's the best thing for them and it'll improve their life and make them feel better about themselves.

I don't have a problem with it whatsoever, it's all up to the individual. I'd never personally do it myself, but I'm happy with the way I look. If it gives people confidence, makes them feel better about themselves then why shouldn't they do it? I think the most important thing with plastic surgery is knowing when to stop and not going too fair so that you look all round plastic...

I personally will never do it.
Some people may have something which isn't in proportion to the rest of their body or whatever, and they're really not happy about it so they have it altered.

I don't think it should be banned, I just think that if it makes them happy, then sure. And as for making boobs etc stupidly huge when they have no reason to other than to 'look hot', they're just sad, in my opinion.

I think it's totally up to the individual themselves what they want to do with their bodies. It's kind of similar in regards to piercings and tattoos. Some may find them unsightly, but to the individual it's what they want, what they enjoy, and ultimately it's their own body. Plastic surgery should be perfectly available for cosmetics, so long as it's paid for privately and not subsidized by the government (taxpayers don't pay). For medical reconstruction surgeries, of course it should be available and covered under healthcare programs.

I don't have a problem with it, if people want to alter/change their bodies then that is up to them (as long as the taxpayer isn't picking up the tab).

It does warm the heart though to see the amazing work they can now perform on people who have mutations/horrific accidents and can be given a second chance.

why is a boob job not justified? anyone can do whatever they want unless its legal. that's like going to a person who is eating a chewing gum and saying hey what are u doing it is not justified. everyone has a free will. i dont know why people judge others just because they had gone under a cosmetic surgery?

[Charz777]

For a medical condition; yes.
For something you are really uncomfortable with, like scars or something extremely abnormal; yes.
To use it cosmetically, probably not. Those women who look like aliens but genuinely believe they look beautiful after dozens of ops, that's silly. Or like when girls are all 'I want a boob job,' without thinking of the consequences or actually considering that their body is fine and they just think a boob job is the way forward because they think guys will find them hotter or they want to be Katie Price
