PLASTIC SURGERY....would you consider going under the knife for beauty's sake?

The problem is a lot of people in this world feel down on themselves because someone in their life has pointed out something about them that they themselves thought looked bad. This makes it worse since people will tend to focus on that area their entire life. I personally think that I would get plastic surgery done. Not that I really feel I need it but because I want it. The pain is only temporary... but the uneasiness and self consciousness will go on till you die if you never get the work done... right? so you are gaining more than you are loosing.

never - true beauty comes from within. As many people I have known say what is pretty on the outside can be truly nasty on the inside. I don;t measure beauty by how someone looks but by who they are

The only thing i hate about my appearance is my teeth...now if i have the money, i would certainly replace all of them. Yea thats the only thing that I want taken care of now...but I've been under the knife before..I had a b00b job done a few yrs back and am glad I did...after the pregnancies and with my height etc I hated not being able to find clothes that fit right..now I dont have that problem and I have more confidence etc etc...other than that and my teeth though theres nothing I'm interested in..

I don't think I would - no matter how safe and good the plastic surgeons are, I'm still not convinced. I would be worried that something would go wrong, and cannot be corrected. Moreover, I am happy with how I look - enhancements can be done with cosmetics and makeup, without going under the knife!

I wont waste money and undergo such surgery because I'm happy with my physical apperance... My teeth on the other hand, before it's not good to show but I undergo braces for 3 years and now my teeth looks good...

I will never going to do this to myself,because I'll know that I'm not the same person I used to be and I'm not the real me. ;)

I'm not so silly to think that surgery to correct those bits of me that need attention would be successful. I believe that my skin type would not suit this sort of procedure...I have very little elasticity in my skin, now that I'm older, even my muscles are stretched. If you stretch things, the elasticity in you lets your skin and muscles recover...my recovery rate following pregnancy was poor, even though I was quite young. I have gained weight over the years and I worry that even if I was able to loose the weight, my skin would be left hanging. But, like you, I would love to have nicer teeth and if I had the money I would fix them in a flash...

Hello there chai. I don't like to experience pain since I have enough, so I'd rather stay the way I am. Anyways, I'm not that ugly, just an average. I'm afraid of knives and stitchings, and I don't have enough money for that.Have a nice day!

If I had the money for plastic surgery, I'd get my nose fixed.. I've always told everybody how I hate my big nose. They say it isn't but I don't listen to them anyway. Other than that, I'd get some fat shaved off of my hips so I can be slim again...

No I wont go under the knife for nothing. Maybe I would have to be terribly scarred and unconscious to get it done. Just don't like surgeries after one bad experience that nearly killed me, so I will make do with what I hae and be grateful I am in one piece

I do admit that the thought has been entertained in my mind about plastic surgery or other types of surgery to help me look better. I just don't have the money that all of these celebrities have. At the drop of a hat they can go to a surgeon. There have been some horror stories concerning plastic surgery. Some people have come out of them with negative results. You have to be careful and do your research before making an educated decision about surgery. My husband tells me that I don't need surgery but as a woman I think that I do.

People who turn to surgery are the one who has problems dealing with their own appearances. Our society are bad enough to judge based on looks alone. I don't want to think how it does hurts to be ridiculed and laughs because you got a big nose, bad teeth, fat body and so on. People with this deficiencies has mental breakdown. And I cannot blame them in resorting to surgery. It gives them a high value of themselves and give their self respect back. Personally, i will not go through with it. Not because i am perfect already, infact i have a lot of flaws. And yes i know how it hurts to get ridiculed infront of everyone. I was just a child back then. And it makes me stay away from the crowd, realizing that, i made little friends only. I was afraid to get hurt, for them to laughs at me, to be ridiculed at, to hear them say im ugly. I got through past it. I am now grown up and have a child of my own. Although i know, those fears when i was a child was just pure childish born out of insecurities because i hear my own mother told her friends i am ugly. I never understand why she said that. When i started dating, my trust build up and i know i was not that bad looking. But what about those people who never go through past their flaws and accept that they are not ugly, and it doesn't matter what everyone thinks. It becomes an obsession for some. And I don't blame them if they want something done on their looks. If i have money, i certainly get a braces for my teeth. I got a gap front tooth. Some thinks its cute. I personally thinks its er bad. LOL Oh well, as long as my bf thinks its cute, that's just fine. But i always love to see people who got lovely teeth in those toothpaste commercial. :P

No way hosay.Not unless I had to do for medical reasons.God all made us for areason our looks features etc.In my eyes probably as well as his it would be a sin.

i think everyone will like beauty. so it is ok to do a plastic surgery to make people more beautiful. i think a beautiful look will give people more confidence. i know a movie star from korea, she made an plastic surgery, and she change very very beautiful, and i envy that face too much, and also plastic surgery is very popular in korea, some friends of korea tell me that every beautiful woman are all doing a plastic surygery. it is hard to believe.

I have to say I am very blessed. Not because I am very pretty or have a good figure. I feel very blessed because I love the way I look. There is nothing about me that makes me want to go under the knife for. I've got under the knife but it was for medical reasons. The surgery left a scar on my face but it has faded with time. I can't imagine anything that might make me go for surgical enhancement. I'm really contented with the way I look. Cheers ;)

Hi chai37, I would only have surgery if it was necessary for health reasons. Blessings.

nah... its all about accepting who you are and how you look. most people go under the knofe because of insecurity of so many things and i do not know why people complicate their lives so much. learn to appreciate who you are and what you have. lear n to appreciate what life has offered to give you :)

hell no

Plastic surgery is not my cup of tea. Some surgeries screw up and it just makes the persons appearance look worst. Aside from that i am contented with my looks. God made me this way and i accept it. It was not anyones right to change something that was given to them by god. Except if you really need a surgery because of a bad accident. But most people did some surgery even if they look good already. They just did it because they are too vain. Looks fade so no matter how much you try to keep yourself staying young and beautiful you cant stop yourself from aging. So instead of wasting my money over plastic surgery. I would rather just donate some of my money to those people who are in need. A lot of people are starving nowadays. If all of us share our blessings to others, imagine how many people are feed and save.

Hmm, I used to think, no way. But now after giving birth I have changed my mind. Haha! I need a little nip and tuck around the tummy area. I always kid my husband about getting it done if we ever had the disposable income. But seriously, if I could get away with it, I'd probably get my nose done. It's not really flat, just needs a little tapering on the sides. I don't have anything against those who get plastic surgery as long as they don't go overboard with it that it makes them look like totally different from their former selves. I've even read of one woman who got obsessed with having cosmetic surgery. She always found something in her body to re-do. She had her nose, lips, cheeks and forehead done as well as some parts of her body too.
