Is there anything in you body that you don't like, and if there is, would you have it replaced, removed, or modified?
I've never seen my cousin for two years. She went to live in another country. Now she's in town to attend a family affair. We were all surprised at how different she looked - so different even her mother didn't recognize her. Discreetly, my other cousins and I started looking for the changes, and and in no time we were able to find 4 - the nose, the lips(now pouting like Angelina Jolie), she had a more pronounced chest(can't write in here the more appropriate term), and her skin got a lot lighter (her skin used to be brown/tan). She admitted that whenever she's not happy with some parts of her body, she goes to her trusted cosmetic surgeon and have it "done" to look better.
How about you? Would you change anything in your body?

No i am very happy the way God had created me and i always thank Him for making me sound and fit enough to lead a successful life.
I do not consider physical beauty as a parameter to achieve something.I am just happy the way i look .

Yes, me too. In as much as I respect other people's desire to look better and more attractive the artificial way, I still think being natural is the best. If ever I want something removed right now its the excess weight that I have amassed due to unhealthy eating habits. But I'd do it the natural way like eating healthy food, exercising, and being more physically active.

Although I wouldn't want to change myself into someone my love ones won't recognize me... but I am not closing my doors to cosmetic surgery. As long as it's something that I can cnfidently enhance without the guilt of not being someone I used to be before getting that change.

I agree. Changing some body parts may be done to enhance one's personality. It should make one feel better. Being emotionally prepared will also help because once changed, it will be very difficult to have them back to original form, if ever possible.

id be hyprocrit if id say that im contented with how i look. I mean, lets admit it, we want to loo gorgeous and hot and all that. But im scared for the procedure. Im not a fan of that. So if ever given the chance, i dont want any changes on my nose or lips..im cool with that..i just want to have a fairer skin..from top to toe, i want to have flawless one..thats it, nothing more. I need a lot of courage with that alone.

Oh, fair flawless skin is what most girls want (I guess even adults like me LOL). There are a lot of skin whitening products in the market now but I haven't tried any of them yet. My friend is using one particular product but I haven't seen any visible improvement so far. I'm willing to wait a little longer to see if it really works.

I believe to each there own, so if there is something that a person does not like about his or herelf and they can afford to change it why not. Some people can be born with a bigger than usual, or some peoples chest migh ot be as big as they might like, so what ever makes that person happy.

Well it only takes a few visits to the dentist and your problem is solved. This early I teach my kids how to take care of their teeth so they'll grow up to have beautiful set of teeth. That way also, I don't need to spend much for their braces (LOL).

Oh my goodness, don't get me started...
As far as health, please God take away my fibromyalgia, arthritis, psoriasis, allergies, female problems, irregular heartbeat, herniated disk, etc. etc. etc.
As far as appearance, can I have my 21 year old body back. Or if not, can I please lose the tummy, a few inches off the butt and boobs, have the sisters be a little perkier again, erase some of these wrinkles, and turn my hair brown again? I'd like the cheeks a little less chubby too!
Thanks!

Hi, oh i think she has overdone it. She really does not satisfied of her current own body and need to change? i wonder. For me, i'm happy enough of what i have with my body, although i'm a bit skinny and looked thin. It will be better if i can gain more weight or become more muscular. However, i would just choose the simple and natural way to achieve the body type i wish to have, but not to go for surgeries that type. I believe God has made us of what and who we are and we shall always be grateful of what we have now. We can go for changes or improve ourselves, but in the natural way, and just take it slowly and it should be fine.

For the belly, good diet and exercise is the best option. For the height, well... umhh, there's the elevator shoes (lol). Seriously, there are vitamins that make kids grow taller, but as I said- it's for kids. I don't know if there is surgical operation that makes one taller.

Well, I don't have the perfect body. My physical appearance is not that adorable to be chased by men or to take a second look for most women. I got burned when I was young. (Don't be so cruel on your imagination!) I still look normal loving( according to my Mom and husband)But I'm contented with what the Lord has given me. I would never ask a doctor to have it replaced, change or modified. I have been to so many places, I have discovered that physical appearance just matter during the first meeting. As time goes by, you will still choose to be with those people who are kind, loving and respectful no matter how they look.

You have a very positive way of dealing with an "unpleasant" experience. That makes you a beautiful person inside and out. It seems you're happy just the way you are and with that you don't need any surgical enhancement to make people appreciate you.

I don't like something changed in my body.I like nature very much.So I'd like to let the things going in a natural way.Beautiful or not of appearance is not so important though there are so many people are judging people by that.But we must admit that soul is more important than appearance.So we'd better to keep ourselves.Do not trust any cosmetic surgeon.If you do like this,is that still you?

Why Am i Stressing so much on Trusted Cosmetic Surgeon Is Because A Doctor (He Claims To Be An Experienced Surgeon), Disfigured My Cousins Body............ Be Care Ful ...........

I understand where you're coming from. One has to be really careful in choosing a cosmetic surgeon just to be sure the desired enhancement is achieved. I've heard of some people who had unpleasant experiences going under the knife, and the outcome turned out to be worse.

In the period of growth especially at teen age, the changes are abundant. Face will change and also every part of the body tends to be hard and strong. Some changes looks so unlikely. Skin will be getting rougher and height also matters. Some people can't be identified when we look after some years. I don't know about my change, but I have seen many in my friends after I saw them 2 years later. Some looks smart but some are nasty. I like my body to be like now- I don't need any change.

If only we can be young forever. But we can't. No matter how much we try to stop aging, it will catch up on us sooner or later. People have different ways of dealing with aging - some do this by going under the knife, others choose to accept the changes brought about by age. Either way, what is important is they are happy with the choice they made.

I have no courage to take so many operations on my body,though I have somethings dissatisfied in my body,I'll let them be!
My friedds are already accustomed my external appearance,if I changed myself greatly,it's a blow to them and they will be frightened.

I don't like it. But I think somebody else needs it.
There are so many people love making fun of the other people's ugly appearance.
So as I see it, if someone really needs it,just do it,that's ok.
