Plastic surgery yay or nay?

Question

I know it's a little taboo so most people don't admit to it but do you plan on or would you like to get plastic surgery? Where? When? And why? 
I'm thinking of it for my 40th birthday.

Depending on the circumstance, it can be a yay or nay. For clear health purposes, usually always a yay. If a person has very serious insecurities about something noticeably and potentially problematic, and it can be ameliorated by going under the knife... provided that he/she can afford it comfortably and it isn't known to be so risky a procedure, I would be understanding. I would be wary if a person was getting multiple serious procedures though, as I'd think it's deep rooted insecurities that needs counseling vs plastic surgery. In that case, it could be the Body Dysmorphic Disorder that needs attention.

It certainly is best and cheapest to accept what you've got and make enhancements within reasonable limits to look good, but I understand that some have been "stuck" with prominent features that have gotten in the way of self-confidence and may have caused them to endure a degree of bullying. Perhaps aesthetics is an important feature of their job. Again, if the person can afford it, is safe about it, and there aren't major risks associated with it, I see it no different than the idea behind doing makeup, dying hair, styling hair, wearing expensive form enhancing clothes, shaving, waxing, etc. What if a person's problem aesthetic area can only be corrected with cosmetic surgery and procedures? It's very easy to judge when one doesn't have to live with the same problem.

But if it's something that isn't prominent, I would encourage the person to work with what they've got and choose less demanding alterations if anything. In that case, the person is likely being too harsh a critic to himself/herself.

I've seriously considered getting a boob job.

Any plastic surgery I would ever get would only be on things I'm not able to fix myself by doing hard work. I mean, life happens and no matter how much time and dedication you put into perfecting your body, it's going to change. That I understand.

But like with a boob job, you can't control how big or small you want your boobs to be by eating a certain way and doing work outs. To an extent, yes, but not to the extent that PS can give you.

So yay for things like that, nay for things like tummy tucks, etc. when one can do it all their own.

I'm ok with plastic surgery if done right, and it's usually in a lot of Asian countries where the results turn out great. This is fine: This is not fine:

If the person really doesn't like a feature on their face and wants to change that, I would understand. That feature may not necessarily be unattractive though. They may have an irrational perception. I think that can lead to a more negative side of plastic surgery where the person thinks they are improving their looks when most would disagree.

If the person wants to get it to maintain their looks and they have the money, I don't see an issue with that. I think that's a bonus of having 💵! I do think a lot of people are likely subconsciously jealous of that. If they want a face lift, breast lift, getting rid of weightloss skin, a hair transplant or something like that, I see no issue. They're just trying to look similar to what they use to.

1. Forget the taboo part for one
2. If it were for improvement yes I'd so it but not just aesthetic improvement on a large scale where in a few years it winds up being a bane than a boon
3. I won't screw around with what is natural and good in me to get something that I think is better
4. It all depends on where and why you want to go under the knife. One has to think about constant updates and maintenance
5. Moreover, imagine you have perfect chemistry with someone and he / she realizes that you've done surgery. You never know it may be a put off for him / her :)
6. I vote 'D' - Depends on various factors if I will do it or not. I'm not adverse to it but don't plan on it for sure :)

AidenBlue · Answer

I'm ok for reconstructive efforts but I don't really like fake. Especially boobs. Fake boobs are a complete turn off to me.

Its like a fake purse. Someone got it for show but I know its not real and the fake part makes any perceived value worth nothing to me.

Give me small and real any day of the week.

Animalshadow · Answer

If it can improve ones flaws which really affects their confidence then i'd have it. But if you do it because everyone else does it then i would not recommend it.

I don't have pretty teeth so i want to get surgery for that but maybe after few years

Red_Arrow · Answer

Obviously reconstructive surgery after an accident or something like a mastectomy would be a very big Yay! Also, some aging processes can be very unkind, leaving terribly distractive wrinkles and loose skin. Simple procedures in these cases can make a person look much better and improve their feelings about themselves. But I have never been a fan of such things as implants to increase boob or butt size.

And can't imagine what a beautiful woman like yourself would want to change.

MaskedSanity · Answer

I've had plastic surgery last year.

On my hands to release the scar tissue that was pulling my fingers together. I had surgery done when I was 6 after getting 3rd degree burns caused by electrocution.

My hands grew, scar tissue didn't, hence surgery.

Other than that, I'd probably consider it, if my face became very droopy as I aged.

mooky06 · Answer

I plan too. And I don't give a fuck what other people do not like about plastic surgery. Breast enhancements for me, I would like to feel more lady like, I feel inadequate. The size right now, eh so so but I would like my body to be in proportion to everything else.

imnotcrearive · Answer

I knew someone once who wanted to get boobs smoothed in her 40s if they become wrinkly. It honestly wouldn't make a difference to me but I can see why you'd do it if you have anything above a c cup. If you're planning on having facial stuff done in your 40s, don't. You're just gonna look like a lizard. Women in their 40s can be really sexy when they show confidence and class. So if anything revolve your makeup and dressing habits around that if you're worried about ageing.

EmpatheticLady · Answer

You're beautiful! Why would you ever need it? :o

I say to each their own. Whether it be for health or aesthetic reasons, it is that person's choice. As long as it makes them happy, that is what counts. However, I do not know if I could do it. I'm not a fan of needles and such.

ArabianPwincess197 · Answer

Personally I'd never consider it. Its a bit like cheating in a exam for me. Since if you do that and get a degree etc. You can't feel proud of it since its not your brain that did the work.
Similarly, if I get compliments on my looks due to the plastic surgery then I can't feel good about it since I paid to get those compliments. If that makes sense?

ShaeNielson · Answer

Yea, I'd definetely do it. I don't see why people look so much down upon it, and I certainly don't see why we praise "natural" so much. Chemo therapy isn't "natural", natural would be dying from cancer. Fertility treatments aren't "natural", natural would be remaining childless. Cars aren't natural, computers aren't natural and McDonalds food isn't natural. Most things in our modern world is not natural, so why the fuck do we have to be?

RedThread · Answer

Nah I came out of the womb flawless ;P Seriously though.. I really can't think of anything I'd want to change..

cheeky_starfish · Answer

I have never thought about having any kind of plastic surgery, and I don't think I ever would unless something happened where I required it to correct a burn or a scar... That kind of thing.
I generally think that having plastic surgery is ok if it's done for the right reasons... Like the reasons I mentioned, or if it's done solely for yourself and it's going to make you feel better about yourself. I feel that doing it just to please someone else is probably not the right reasons for doing it, and of course there are risks involved... But if it's just for you, and is something that you've thought about and wanted for a while, then I think it's definitely worth considering!
I should add that looking at your profile picture, I see no reason why you would need this kind of 'treatment', but if it's going to make you feel better about yourself, then that's the main consideration here! :)

letsbefriends25 · Answer

Well I wouldn't consider it nuts. It's very tempting to alter a "weak spot" to perfection.
The only problem is where does it stop. My friend underwent plastic surgery for her breasts. Now she scrutinizes each minute aspect of herself because she knows she can "fix" it.
So I guess go for it if you think that's the only part of your body you would like to change. Just don't get sucked into the trap that everything else needs to go too.
And by the way, why would you of all people need it? Spend that dough on a nice vacation or something!!!

Anonymous · Answer

I have nothing against it as long as it doesn't cause other injury to ones health like some of these people get implants and end up with infections, suffering long-term
health concerns. Some guys get penile implants and it's really a high risk all it does is cause other problems and from what i hear some implants got be removed and men are left with permanent damage to their penis. Myself I'm happy with what i have if it doesn't work then I'll get some Viagra not worried about it

llorando · Answer

I'd never get plastic surgery, I'm 100% natural and plan to stay that way. If people don't like the way I look when I'm 100%, than they can kiss my but if I'm getting plastic surgery just to look fake and please their eyes.

Kris85 · Answer

What kind of plastic surgery are you planning on getting? I would get a tummy tuck for sure and also a breast lift. Maybe even a possible reduction on them. I plan for all this in the next few years.

I am ok with plastic sugery if the person suffered from an accident or if there is any health issue. But, other than that, I dont support it, I see it as a way of hiding yourself
I think is very important to accept ourselves the way we are.

Ihav2fart · Answer

What one does to themselves is not my problem and I won't frown upon it. If it brings up your self-esteem then go for it.

poppunk · Answer

I want it but i'm going to wait for if/when if I get over my self-esteem issues because I know no amount of surgery will ever fix my mindset and I want to get it for the right reasons. It also depends on my financial situation

I have known three different women who have had breast implants--after mascectomies and other breast cancer surgery. For them, it was a great thing.

S_v_k · Answer

yeah sometimes I think of it. since after I have met an accident I got my nose a little tilted. although you may not notice it if you are not keenly looking for it. I know myself that it is almost unnoticeable. still sometimes I think to get a rhinoplasty.

Hans222 · Answer

No, I'm against it except for people who need it after an accident or other surgery... I like the natural look of people :D And yours is fine, you look nice without any DIY :D

zell0is0my0name · Answer

Yeah, I support it. I'll definitely do it.. Get a nose job and some lip injections probably in like 2-4 years time. It's not because I hate my looks. They're alright I guess.. I just wanna fix some flaws.

RainbowFanGirl · Answer

Don't do that. You're gorgeous. You definitely don't need it. ❤️

But I think if you feel that badly about yourself and you want to go through with it, then you have every right to if it would make you happy...

GirlsLie · Answer

I don't have an issue with it if it's done moderately, I worry about people who get too carried away with it though.

mutedaisy · Answer

I'd like to get my nose done as well as my jaw/chin shaved down a bit. I don't know when that is going to happen.

Anonymous · Answer

If it makes you happy do it. It's your body, and you have the right to do whatever you want with it and no one can tell you otherwise. I'm having a nose job next year and planning on getting breast implants too and lots of people tell me not to do it, but it's my body!
I say go for it :)

madhatters4 · Answer

oldanddecrepid · Answer

I don't think I would waste my coin... I am fine the way I am!

However, when it comes to these things for other people, if there is something that bothers you about your body, then I say do with it what you please. If it is going to make you happy, then why not get whatever you want done... done!
