Being Plastic!

[Nat13]

I have been thinking about having plastic surgeory when i'm 16, but i don't want to much pain as i would still like to be able to go out clubbing with my mates, but i need to be fixed in like 3 weeks, is this possible?! Wanting surgeory on: legs, tummy, nose.

Hi nat,i have answered you before, i dont know anything about plastic surgery but i really think that you are worrying far too much about physical appearance. surely if you look around you will see people are all different shapes and sizes, the main thing is to be happy with the way you are. I got loads of grief in school, for my colour, my size, my hair - whatever people felt they could single out, but i have never had problems finding partners !. everyone has taste and preferences all you need to do is keep fit and make an effort to look nice and be nice you'll be fine. Take care and take it easy !

Any surgery leaves you with pain, but it varies in severity. Often the more invasive the surgery, the worse the pain. Plus the wounds need time to heal, and may need to have dressings on them for sometime. Have a look here. It gives Approximate recovery times for some procedures but the your surgeon would give you full details at the time. http://www.aesthetic-surgery.net/Healing.htm Unfortunately with some procedures the swelling doesn't completely subside for upto 3/4 months!!! Also bear in mind the cost.

I had a nose reduction when I was 22, I had black eyes (both of them for 2 weeks) and my nose didnt look right for around 4 months. I guess i cant tell you not to do it without being hypocritical, but I will sugest that you speak to proffessional people first to find out the side effects, after you so this then its your choise.

You won't be able to have surgery at 16 anyway your body hasn't stopped growing and i think it's actually illegal, til you're 18. Why do you want all of these, you're way to young to be making judgements and thinking about things like this, wait til you're in your 20s and if you still feel the same do it then. I would suggest you look at the reasons why you want the surgery, if you're actually overweigth change your diet, but being skinny and having a different nose won't solve your problems.

dont bother with surgery, as it will all sag after about 5 years, and you will have to keep having touch-ups. Becks is right, your body hasnt stopped growing and you may like the way you develop in the next few years. wait until you are in your twenties. technology will have moved on and you will know what you really want. When I was at school I used to be paranoid that people were talking about my looks. Its all about confidence. All my friends were much prettier than me, but I had more success with the boys when we went out clubbing. confidence and knowing how to flirt are the key weapons of mass atttraction!. f your thinking of having the surgery because you feel that you are not attracting the boys, dont worry about it. Dont saddle yourself with a boyfriend just yet. Enjoy your youth, be single and have as much fun as you can
