unless needed to repair damage caused by burns or a car accident, I find it to be a waste of money and a sign of weakness..

I had my nose broken, so to get it fixed a few years later was a happy day for me. I also needed major sinus surgery, so it was all done at one time. Not only can I now breathe through my nose, it looks normal again. 馃檪
@Peapod that鈥檚 great :) hope u feeling much better :)
Peapod61-69, F
@Lostandfound46 Best thing I ever did. I was surprised at how well I recovered. I had a great surgeon.
@Peapod aw that鈥檚 nice to hear :) and to have a great outcome
I think it鈥檚 often given children with birth defects, accident victims a new lease on life. In that regard it鈥檚 miraculous.
In terms of adults needing an ego boost, it鈥檚 a personal choice鈥攁nd a risk.

I used to think that cosmetic surgery was shallow and that I would never get it myself for non medical reasons.
I have changed my position although I still might not ever get it.
People have only one life to live and should do what makes them happy.
But a balance is needed. For some people it is never enough and they kill themselves with surgical enhancements.
Also plastic surgery will usually not boost self esteem long term. You must accept yourself then you can improve but if you seek beauty as a means to love yourself then you will fail.

For an unnecessary surgery someone must have huge emotional issues/zero self worth or be a vain sociopath to perform or receive such "treatment." Sometimes accidents happen though, in those cases plastic surgery can attempt to put the pieces back together and helps a lot of people. Children born with cleft pallets, cancer survivors, etc.
@lovelywarpedlemon well said...
@Lostandfound46 idk how to rationalize it but that's me

If it helps making people feel better I鈥檓 all for it 馃憤馃徏
@SW-User but sometime it comes with heavy price

@Lostandfound46 very true. Both my mom and sister did plastic surgery and it looks great on both of them. My sis had a large nose and now it鈥檚 a cute little nose and she鈥檚 super happy about it. She doesn鈥檛 regret it one bit

Nothing wrong with fixing something that makes you unhappy. Who am I to judge?
Carissimi70-79, F
Unless you have a medical disfigurement, I think it鈥檚 insane to have it before 50. I haven鈥檛 had it, and don鈥檛 intend to, but I can understand 50 + wanting it, but younger than this is ridiculous. You don鈥檛 realize how beautiful you are when young. Wait for when you actually need a little help.
@Carissimi don鈥檛 scare me 馃様馃様馃様 I am always scared to be old 馃檮
Carissimi70-79, F
You are far from old. Why did what I said scare you?@Lostandfound46
@Carissimi just the thought of being old scares me .. although I work really hard to eat well and exercise .. and I look much younger for my age but every now and than I do think 馃 about it .. I know I cannot stop ageing but it is scary 馃槹

Stupid but if that's what it takes to make you happy.
@RedwoodBarman Shall we be grownups and end this now ?
RedwoodBarman31-35, M
@bijouxbroussard I'm a petty person so you'll have to be the grown up this time. I'm curious if you can.
@RedwoodBarman Easy. Bye.

I think it has has been a life changing surgery for countless individuals, for good or bad. Even if a plastic surgery procedure has been solely "aesthetic", I think it's just fine...if it actually does lead to a person feeling better about facing the world.

@Montanaman That was so sad...and he was quite handsome in the beginning of his career.

I'm not a fan of cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive surgery, however, can be essential for some people to get their lives back.
MissTaken36-40, F
Fine for serious medical reasons but not for personal vanity reasons
@MissTaken I agree 鈽濓笍

The people in my family need eye lifts when they get older because of an eye problem. I'm thankful I can have that done when I need it.
TexChikF
What procedure are you considering
TexChikF
@Lostandfound46 they do add instant Change . Lots of my friends do it . I had a lift after I finished breast feeding and a labiectomy . They are really good
@TexChik sometime people go over it and they lose their life 馃様
TexChikF
@Lostandfound46 pretty rare. Stick with a board certified plastics doc . Go interview a few ( consults)

I think it's plastic surgery.
Sometimes the outcome is great. Sometimes the outcome is horrifying.
JacksonBlue31-35, M
Nothing i want doing but if it gives someone self esteem...go for it :)

Up to the individual, I personally would not unless I had an accident and required it.
