Extreme Make-Over

As I approach one of those 'milestone' birthdays (which will remain nameless) I am suddenly aware of the changes of aging on my face, neck, hair and elsewhere. At first I was alarmed and after more thought, I realize that these represent life and the gift of having had a chance to live life. I have decided that they are 'trophys' and something to be proud of! One only has to see people who have life ripped away at a young age to realize that being 'old' is a gift! So, to answer the original question, I would not particpate in a make-over! Thanks for posting such a meaningful discussion!

Ossie, I'm less into pain that anyone who's posted, so I'll say a big "NO". I would like a few changes, but that's life; and I'll live it as I am. I've seen some friends after they've had plastic surgery, and some of them don't even look "real" any more. Also, there's too many that are given very bad surgical jobs and someone else has to come along and correct it. We see a lot of that here in South Florida on the news. "Doctors" who really aren't doctors, etc. No way...thanks, but no.

I don't know what I would do. I'm so eager to lose weight and look better that if it was an extreme makeover that included, say, lipsuction, I might be tempted. I would want to be in a situation where I could make the final decision about what changes might be made. I think that in that kind of situation, though, is that they have carte blanche about what will be done.

Does an extreme makeover involve changing nose shapes etc. I saw that on a tv programme, but the pain these people may have gone through! Or are you talking about make-up only?

OMG....what a thought. It would probably turn out worse. First of all the "raw" materials with which a specialist would have to work with are way beyond the validation date. And secondly I like myself the way I am....could care less what others think. I have been trying to think of a poem I once knew about the face but I can only remember the last three lines..... something something something I don't mind it I'm behind it It's the ones out from that get the jar. I think it was a riddle. I want to go out the same way I came in....except I want to be wearing something so as not to turn the world into a bunch of lunatics.

I guess it depends on what they want to do to me! There are a few areas I'd like to tweak a bit. I have always hated my nose and would love a new one. I could use a smidge of liposuction here and there too. Maybe a skin peel to pretty it up a little.

I have to wear make up every day. I dont call it "extreme make over". But still every morning, I spend a considerable amount of time for that. During work also, after lunch I do a touch up. May be that's because the job I do needs this and now its more like a habit. I have followed a course in this and its not hard for me.

I am quuite satisfy with my lookings as God made me according to His Own choice but i'll like to remove extra hair from my face forever. I do n't feel any need of any change. 5.7 inches height, white colour etc. all r good and should n't be changed.

To begin with I want to reconize me when I look in the mirror and I want all my family to reconize me too. And like you I'm not into pain. Have had enough in My life time. Besides I earned each and every wrinkle dealing with 6 kids 4 of mine and 2 grandkids. When I get toheaven god will give me a beautiful body and perfect face and on more pain

i will like to change my eyes

Oh, I would definitely do it! Have some lipo done and one or two other things. Nothing TOO drastic, though. Maybe...

I've never had a make-over before, so why not it could be fun. If you don't like it you can always run to nearest restroom and wash it off. I wouldn't consider paying for it, couldn't justify spending that sort of money on myself when there are loads of other things more important.

You know I love it that people comment on what great skin I have for my age (50 YIKES) even the beautician at my first ever facial last week (a birthday gift) said I have goo dskin and good elasticity. yet I can see the changes with time. I'd love to stay as I am now...but would I go through surgery? No. I've had more surgery in my life than I care to think about. I wouldn't put myself through that pain just for vanity. But I would like to get rid of the belly and flabby arms...

I would consider doing extreme makeover if you didnt have to be gone from home for so long

I agree with U in toto...How so ever I look as on date..its me..my own self...I have accepted my self...so wont want to change this...for ne apparant advantages....I m clear in mind

I might consider some minor adjustments but I am not that thrilled to go under the knife for any reason. So really, I seriously doubt that I would take them up on the offer. Some of those people that they changed on that show were almost too plastic looking to me.

no, thanks, I am happy with my look. I don't think it's healthy at all.
