    I was listening to an interesting discussion on the radio today about the pros and cons of cosmetic surgery. I support what anyone wants to do with their own faces and bodies but I think when they get freakish like Joan Rivers it is just an obsession that no surgery can help.
    I have never had anything done. Not even braces. (I didn't need them).
    If you had a big nose or whatever would you change it? Or just accept yourself the way you are?

    Kind of happy the way i am i guess...plus i couldn't afford it!

    But saying that, if i was in a terrible accident, i would seriously consider it.

    I would. My nose is crooked (it really is -- no lie -- from an accident)

    that's all I need fixed though.other than that. I would love to get large quantities of cybernetics and bio-ware.

    I would think that there are many circumstances that would require a person to have this form of surgery done to them. I'm glad it is available to those who need it.

    I am in desperate need of cosmetic surgery. I look like the lump on a camels back.

    I tend to frighten trolls back under bridges and make babies cry.

    "Momma! Lookit! What is that thing!?"

    All the same, it is likely that I would not get cosmetic surgery. The face that I have does not represent who I am.

    I think it is ok if you are disfigured from an accident or something but I don't support it otherwise. However, I often see someone with a big nose and wonder why they don't get it changed.

    What an odd thing to say. I guess its possible but I cannot empathize, I mean I really cannot imagine looking the way I do as far as feeling 'identified' with myself. I guess that is why major plastic surgery for those who have had catastrophic accidents or have suffered from disfiguration go through such turmoil, feeling as if they are no longer 'who they were'. I don't imagine you are speaking of yourself aesthetically but more in terms of whether you feel it represents you, am I correct?

    Now they are saying Botox prevents you from feeling certain emotions. I have thought that was poison since day one but people laughed at me. I don't think it's a good idea to put Botulinum toxin that close to your brain.

    Geesh, I thought the lump on a camel's back was hot, I guess I'll have to take that off my sexy list! (scribbles "Camel's hump" off furiously with Sharpie marker)


    Nicely said. :bravo:

    I just saw a commercial for "Lifestyle Lift", a cosmetic surgery for loose neck skin. I can understand why someone might want that. If they look like a turkey when they talk maybe they should fix it. I dunno. While I support looking my best I don't know if I could actually go under the knife with all I know/have seen about complications.

    Sure. I used to be over 300lbs (185 now), seems like a lifetime ago, and I have a paunch that just won't go away. If I had the extra cash to just burn on something like that, I'd have a tummy tuck in a heartbeat.

    Beyond that, Nope, no plastic surgery for me.

    If it's done once, maybe you'll wanna do it again. All the way until...

    Don't do it, Sandy.

    I have no interest in doing it. I just saw the question on another forum and thought it was interesting.

    While there are minor things that I don't like about myself, I have no intention of going under the knife to permanently alter them. Can't explain why, but something about permanently altering anything on my body (no matter how minor) just feels really wrong. With the exception of being disfigured by an accident (and then only to try to return to the way I already looked), I don't think I'd ever want to do it.

    I have no interests in changing me, but I'd do it to fix scars.
