Are you willing to undergo cosmetic surgery? Why?

[mitchbonevac]

I would like to know if people are willing to undergo cosmetic surgery and spend money for that.

[pa___ul3]

if that includes having your teeth done then I would, but nothing else, I'm happy as I am apart from my gnashers!

[sunny-dave]

Yes - comprehensive teeth fixing is about all I would ever consider - and even then I'd want some assurance that it wouldn't give me the awful 'too bright to look at' whiteness that seems so popular ...

[rockyracoon]

I think I might want my eyes done when I'm a bit older, the skin has gone quite baggy there and interferes with my eyelashes. My mum had it done about 5 years ago and it took years off her.

[LoftyLottie]

I have baggy eyes through years of allergy. Still wouldn't have them done.
However, yes, if I could afford it I would have my teeth done - but I don't consider that as surgery as such.

I would have problems even if it was free because I hate surgery and general anaesthetic.But I would like a face lift,eye bag removals,and definately dental implants.I have 4 missing teeth which I would love to fix if I had money.

I look the way I do as nature and time has intended, there's absolutely no way I'd bow to vanity and undergo unnecessary, profiteering and potentially life threatening surgery.

[Ankou]

personally i only agree with cosmetic surgery on the nasis of medical need (i.e. mastectomy or disfigurement etc).

i don't agree with it for the sake of vanity, but it is really up to people what they want to do with their own money. i'd rather pay for some poor child to have cleft lip repair than for me to have less wrinkles.

[Anlyn]

Unless you are physically deformed your problem is psychological and there is a better solution to remedy that shallow insecurity. Therapy, counselling, rather than throwing tons of cash away and going under the knife!

[boxtops]

Teeth yes, everything else, absolutely not, not just for vanity.

[NOX]

I didn't think about teeth, so yes actually I've already had that done, so that's my vote changed to yes.

[CreamSoda]

I had a upper eye lid op because I had thyroid eye disease. I got a 5 grand op for free and the results were fantastic.

[ganesh]

I dunno boxtops.I wouldn't do it but what's wrong with surgery or botox etc for those wrinkles etc.Is it any more vain than using all these creams that we try,or even wearing mascara? We all try and improve on what we've been given,and we all try and wear clothes that 'suit' us or make us look slimmer etc.What about haircuts? I'm not really sure we should get all moralistic about it.

[Leapers]

Definately if money wasn't as issue! Boob job first i'd actually like to one day be able to hold up a strapless dress or just look like i have something in a top thats not flat! I wouldn't go over the top just a C or D would be nice.
After that then liposuction thighs arms and belly and then my saggy eyelids could do with sorting! Other than that completely comfortable with myself... :/

[LoftyLottie]

I think there is a big difference between enhancing with make up, hair etc. and making the best of what we have got, and going under the knife or needle in an effort to make ourselves into something we are not. I am totally with Boxtops on this.

It is only a recent thing all this effort to look the same as everybody else, and it's all to do with celebrity culture in my opinion. Wanting, at all costs, to be what we are not. I think people suffer from lack of self esteem and confidence these days because we are bombarded with media about looking perfect, wanting their homes to be perfect, wanting their kids to be perfect, etc. etc. I think it is extremely sad actually. Nothing to do with being moralistic at all and I don't think Boxtops was being moralistic either

[LoftyLottie]

I also very much agree with Anlyn at 15.22.

[jomifl]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ....allegedly!

[ganesh]

No I don't think he/she was,I was just saying generally we think having surgery is being vain,and yet using wrinkle creams isn't.Why not.?We pay for both and if either of them make us look better and by that make us feel better,then what is the difference (apart from money)?

I don't think what you said in your last post is strictly true LL.
Women have always been judged on the size of their breasts, even back as far as the 40s and 50s. Before that flat chested women were in vogue but then things changed and actresses such as Marilyn Monroe were around. Women used to have to stuff their bras to conform to what was expected and deemed to be womanly. Not much has changed really.
I have been ridiculed all my life for my small boobs and I would happily have implants to a B or C cup if I could afford it.
