Does plastic surgery actually make a person look better?

Question

GoodManDave · Accepted Answer

Depends on what it is. I think the most effective plastic surgery is A) to fix a deformity or honestly needed medical issue. B) To make them look better - like all the wrinkles or flab when a person loses 500 pounds.

If it’s done to enhance, ok. If you still look like you, and it gives you confidence, and you feel better, great. But when you look like a completely different person, that’s when I would have an issue with it.

Sometimes I think the person looked gorgeous (or at least fine) before, and then they look completely different, I personally usually think it looks worse... sometimes the “issue” that they think they have is a plus. And when they get rid of it, they look fake... and when they age, many look very “plastic”. Sometimes it will make them look better, but often they get so desperate to keep up that they keep going until it gets botched up.

If done correctly, yes it can. At least In the short term. As people age the more aggressive surgeries tend to start to show themselves though, and ultimately a lot of people end up looking worse than they would have otherwise. Jocelyn Wildenstein for example.

It depends. I read that you want to get your nose done. Be aware that the nose is not an easy body part to deal with. There are plenty of pictures out there which show how much of an impact even a small nose job had on the whole face and appearance. Getting your nose done means your whole face will change. Not just the nose. So if you are determined to do this, then I advice you search before doing it. Find a professional with experience who will be able to guide you. Ask him about how it will affect your appearance and maybe he also has some software to show you before and after so you can know what to expect. Don't go and do it blindly because you might be disappointed afterwards.

As my plastic surgery professor said, a good surgeon won’t make you look like you got something done. If it’s done right, definitely yes it makes you look better.

BrittBratt2416 · Answer

Depends, it can make a person look better or worse. If it was only worse, then nobody would get surgery done, as long as it smalls tweeks like something you really needed done like a broken or blocked nose, then yes it can changed your appearance a bit.

LoU_Hades · Answer

Yes if the person has extremely bad face proportions, like too big nose, too small lips etc.
Often those relatively attractive women who do plastic surgery become the bimbo look with exaggerated lips, artificial looking nose and breasts which aren't sexy at all.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

No. Her natural beauty was way better. I had plastic surgery on my right underarm in 2013. Not for cosmetics, mind you, but to remove a tennis ball-sized infection that grew out of nowhere one day when I took a nap. Like some sort of nightmare bacteria that found me out of the blue, and was eating my underarm.

hahahmm · Answer

It’s like putting a condiment on food. A little might help or it could wreck the favor. A lot of plastic surgeons are quacks. A few really know how to turn a pig’s ear into a diamond.

A lot of women get addicted to plastic & can’t stop tho. It’s like putting a whole bottle of ketchup on your dinner. Usually not a good idea

Anonymous · Answer

It can correct certain unsightly features but generally speaking no. Like Megan fox looked better younger and her face is likely a mess without make up artists

MysteriousDarkness · Answer

In one reply you said "I need a nose job because my nose isn’t that great to be honest but other than that I’m fine". In another reply you said "Rhinoplasty probably that’s about it but also jaw and chin implants". You cintradicted yourself. You need therapy first.

thegirlfromthething · Answer

No, it’s tacky and a lot of the time it’s really obvious.

Anet1256 · Answer

When it’s not taken to the extreme then YES! Most importantly it gives you a fresh breeze of confidence, which ultimately reflects on how you carry yourself. Most people have plastic surgery to fix their insecurities

Electric_Dreams · Answer

Absolutely not. It makes them look like they're not a real person, takes away their natural grace. Dannii Minogue y'know in the '90s was absolutely gorgeous, she started doing something to her nose and that was a damn shame.

yasii · Answer

It definetly can. But we most likely don't recognize it as plastic surgery because that's when plastic surgery worked. When it looks like you're naturally beautiful

turnmypainintopower1 · Answer

I don’t think you need it from the looks of your profile and it ussually looks fucked anyways

Pamina · Answer

It's impossible to say one way or another in general. There's vastly different things that can be done with plastic surgery and vastly different reasons for it.

PrudentGuy · Answer

For those whom I can tell is plastic, the surgeon had failed and, by implication, I don't like. But I think many celebrity had plastic done. Since I can't tell, I like them.

GuidoThePizzaMaker · Answer

In most cases yes

Beautiful people who get it are stupid
I think facial surgery is never good for beautiful people

Fake boobs and butts are just an obsession with perceived "deficiencies"
I think its a symptom of a bigger personal problem.

IslanderSparkle_Siki · Answer

It usually depends on the before and after look. Sometimes it's not the case. However, it somehow makes the person feel better in their own skin and happy

Dtegesd123 · Answer

I think you can as, long as you don't over do it. Some people get something done, its looks better than before, then they redo the same facial feature to get to perfect and it gets fucked up. I'd say if you were going to get it done, go to Korea

Anonymous · Answer

It depends. If I had no idea that someone actually had plastic surgery but it turns out they did, that would probably be a sign that it at least did not harm. Anyways, it really depends a lot. Generally, I think it is best to have a more natural look, but there might be a procedure that improves appearance. I would say that everything should be judged on a case by case basis

TouchMyMind · Answer

No. You can do almost the same thing with contouring now these days.

Anonymous · Answer

Not really in my opinion. Usually at least from the ones I've seen you can tell it is plastic surgery, and it's sad because their facial features weren't bad to begin with.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Not if they already look good. What I find ironic is most people who get plastic surgery are already naturally beautiful, so the surgery is unnecessary.

up_64 · Answer

Maybe from an objective point of view it might. But the sort of person who would have a plastic surgery done for non medical reasons is so mentally fucks for wouldn't date them anyways

Dinklex3 · Answer

Depends on the person, what they got done, and where they got off.

Sometimes but rarely. Most of what makes them look better is photoshop tbh.

Kitty46 · Answer

Plastic surgery ruined Farrah Fawcett face, I loved her in Charlie’s Angels & I loved her hair. The first picture look better.

pleasestopthis · Answer

Yes, as long as the surgeon is good and the changes aren't that big. Sometimes a beautiful person gets ruined, like Meg Ryan.

aquíestoy · Answer

In many cases yes but I think it also makes the person look older

WildNekoWolf · Answer

Honestly, I think she looked better before the surgery, or what I assume is the pre-surgery picture (Left picture).

Liam_Hayden · Answer

Hair, makeup, slight rhinoplasty, and a lot of Photoshop can do wonders. But as for the above, I prefer the natural look over the fake.

Pejtu · Answer

Yes it does and its fake stupid i dont like girls that do plastic surgerys

lucas262 · Answer

please just work with what God gave you natural is a huge plus

Anonymous · Answer

Two answers here. Reconstructive cosmetic surgery after an injury or accident, totally get it.  But for pure vanity to look like a photoshopped celebrity is not attractive at all. It's so fake.

DECENTSCOTTISHLAD999 · Answer

its not the plastic surgery its the persons mind set as to why they wanted it in the first place

Mahof · Answer

Yes in some cases. But there are plenty of horror stores too. I wouldn’t risk it unless it was for medical reasons.

StellarDrift · Answer

Probably. If it'll help you I guess why not. For me I figure that I shouldn't have to change myself to be or feel accepted.
