Plastic surgery hypothetical

I agree with you on the looking "normal" thing. People with major deformities deserve the chance to look like everyone else, but when "normal" people start using it to look "perfect" it's just wrong. Nobody was meant to be "perfect." We were all made the way we were supposed to be. Some of us are larger in the chest area, or smaller in the stomach area, but we were made how we were supposed to look. Perfection is not an option, because no matter how much surgery you get, you're going to want more, because you fixed your face, but what about your chest? Then you move to your butt, and your stomach. Then, when you've had all the fat sucked out of you, and your chest filled with silicon, you're not what you wanted to look like in the first place. I have been scared away from surgery by the movie Repo! the Genetic Opera. A fake disease was given to all the people on this island, and their organs started failing. GeneCo offered replacements, but for a very high price. Now almost everyone in the town is addicted to the pain killer, Zydrate, and the surgeries. If you don't pay off your surgery, a Repo Man comes to take back the organ you bought, and any others that are of any use. I don't like the thought of replacing real parts with plastic. It just seems silly to me.

I think if it was offered i'd have a brest reduction as i have always had large brests and this has gotten me sometimes too much male attention.

If I were offered a free plastic surgery, I would get a nose job. I have known people with bigger honkers than mine, but I don't like the "bump" on mine. Now, I have had plastic surgery, back in 1998... I had a reduction...

I certainly would not accept such an offer, as there is nothing wrong with my body parts. However, in the case of a child who is disfigured at birth or by some accident, then that is a whole different matter.

I think perhaps I´d ask if I could put the offer ´ín the bank´ and perhaps use it some time in the future when I felt I needed it! Right now, I´m happy as I am. That´s not to say that I will always feel that way though!

I agree with you in regards to the fact that the majority of people should probably be happy with what nature blessed them with unless there was a deformity or a defect that caused a lot of psychological distress. Would I accept an offer of plastic surgery you ask? Uhmmm...As much as I would love a face lift, I don’t want to end up looking weird like I was wearing a plastic mask or something so I will pass. I think all surgery is risky so why go through it if it isn’t absolutely necessary?

Sure, If I were offered an item of plastic surgery at no cost, I would likely choose an eyebrow lift. Not without researching the plastic surgeon first however. I agree that it is a bit freaky messing with nature but then again, we only live once. I have considered botox treatments but am unsure I could handle it since needles make me pretty much faint. I don't see anything wrong with plastic surgery, for whatever reason, as long as it is with moderation. There are some, that I feel have gone way over board, tot he point the look plastic. ]What would you have done if you were offered an item of plastic surgery for free?

Like you I certainly support plastic surgery in specific cases, like accidents etc, but really don't care much about all the boob enlargements/reductions, face lifts, but lifts, and other similar lifts that are done because - as you say and very well - people are overly concerned about their outsides. Imagine if they work as hard fixing their real selves? Now that would be refreshing :) A surgery as small as it can be is always a surgery with it's inherent pluses and minus - lots of minus health wise by the way. It is bad enough when it has to be done for reason of health, now when it's done for vanity reasons only....not for me. That said, some aesthetic surgery can sometimes be beneficial when common sense is used. For example a person with a very big bust can actually benefit from reduction which will reduce the strain on the back. Or the person that actually lost so many pounds that some of the belly flesh is hanging which can actually create inflammation and infections from the rubbing skin and moist environment. But those are the odd ones that actually make sense for more than just aesthetics. So , to answer your question. No, I wouldn't really accept the free plastic surgery. I sure have some bits and pieces that could look better, but I really love my body as it is.It already had it's up time, where everything was where it should be and it looked great. It has served me well so far, it already gave me great moments and specially it does keep the skeleton and all the rest inside doesn't it ? LOL Have a great day

Plastic surgery is not one of those things that I would ever spend money on, but if I were given the chance to have one procedure done free of charge I might be tempted to go through with it. I would have a hard time deciding what to get done. I think I would go for either a tummy tuck or have some excess fat and skin removed from my underarms.

Plastic Surgery is the last thing I'd do to my face, unless of course in cases of accident, which I pray will never happen to me. I have always been contented with the way I look. God gave me this appearance and I believe God never makes mistakes. No one has the right to change what God has actually given. I believe in protecting and keeping what God has already bestowed upon me.

I don't believe in plastic surgery unless of a accident that may deform you. So no I would not accept this free plastic surgery operation. I believe most people who go under the knife come out looking worse or just plain fake. Having plastic surgery for cosmetic reason is messing with God's work in my opinion.

No I probably wouldn't to be honest. Plastic surgery is not something that I have really thought about. In general I am pretty happy with what I have, nothing causes me a problem. Of course there are people that have all kinds of wishes with their bodies. Like, some would like to be thinner, fatter, a better nose, bigger boobs, less wrinkles etc etc. There are parts of me that I wish were bigger, but I am not going to go and mess with nature to change what I have, I have learnt to be the person I am with what I have.

maybe a nose lift can hype my looks..

Hi Coffeeshot! I'de probably refuse, only because I'm terrified of operations, I'm a real wuss! I'm on neutral ground here, whatever makes a person happy. If I had some part of me I really detested and it was affecting my life, I would do something about it, I would have the surgery to correct it. However some people go way overboard without really needing it like M.J. did. In such cases there should be a law in the medical profession to stop this, as also it can become an addiction for some I imagine. But in general if you can afford it and it's going to make you happy, why not!
