Have you had plastic surgery? Would you if you could afford it?

Hmm. No, I've never had plastic surgery. I don't know. I wouldn't say I'd never do it because someday I might. I mean, if I really needed it like if I burn myself or something. I'm not that happy with how I look but I won't change it just to look like some celebrity. It's like, changing my identity or something. If it hinders me from living my life well then maybe I would. Like liposuction. If I were 600lbs, it would be really hard just to get on a treadmill and lose all that weight. Liposuction would be a start-up help, then I'd be able to carry my weight onto the treadmill. But if I could lose that weight just by exercising and eating right, I won't risk my life and go under the knife. For me, it feels better working for that great body than just having all the fat sucked out of me. I'm not judging the people who went under the knife though. My mom had a nose job. I have the same nose as she did before she had that nose job, but I never dreamt of having one. It's kind of scary. But some people really need it to boost their confidence. If that's what helps them live their life, then so be it. It's better than hating the image you see in the mirror every day. The pressure of being perfect I think has always been there. But I guess it's just amplified today. And maybe people have a different idea of what perfect is today. Perfection is after all subjective. It is a scary thought what people are willing to go through just to become "beautiful" in the public's eye. Here in the Philippines, there's this plastic surgeon who, in the past three to four years, has been gaining popularity more and more because more and more Filipinos are now turning to plastic surgery.

Hi, Yes they have this on our televisions as well, I only think it is necessary if something is serverly wrong with your body that you really require plastic surgery. otherwise I think that it is not right to adjust what you were born with. Beauty does come from within and you have to learn how to develop it to your highest potential. Yes it is the same in Australia these day xx

I think it does improve the way a person feels when they can "fix" what is "wrong" with them. I would definately have plastic surgery if I could afford in. There are many things I would change about me. Well, maybe not many, but a few. When a person feels good about themselves it shows in how they act and what they do.

I cant afford plastic surgery. Its is soemthing that is not in my wildest deams. I have flat nose but I cant think of myslef ever having plastic surgery. I see it very common happening with actreses for it really fits them all well. I would like to share this information about plastic surgery hope this could also help you and other readers as well. Cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem. Cosmetic surgery is usually not covered by health insurance because it is elective. Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. It is generally performed to improve functions, but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance. Reconstructive surgery is generally covered by most health insurance policies, although coverage for specific procedures and levels of coverage may vary greatly. There are a number of "gray areas" in coverage for plastic surgery that sometimes require special consideration by an insurance carrier. These areas usually involve surgical operations which may be reconstructive or cosmetic, depending on each patient's situation. For example, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) - a procedure normally performed to achieve cosmetic improvement - may be covered if the eyelids are drooping severely and obscuring a patient's vision.

No, I don't believe in plastic surgery and will never sacrifice myself to go under the surgeon's knife even if I have the means to do it. I have seen pictures of people who had had plastic surgery, makes them look years older than before. The risk is too high and is not permenant either. I forsee that cosmatic surgery will be topping the chart in the medical field with the future generation.
