My friends down becuase his Brother wont do plastic surgery on?

Question

My friends down becuase his Brother wont do plastic surgery onhim .I do try to cheer him up but its to no avail. little background his brother is a plastic surgeon that gets to do 1 free operation a year . He has given his mom a tummy tuck and his step sister breast augmentation .

My friend has a condition that predisposes him to gaining weight on the middel.yet his brother wont operate on him . He has repeatley done what his brother suggested such as running or trying to eat high protein diets. Since he doesnt make much money eating a high protein diet is expensive .My friend does work out 3 time a week .

Should my friend accept it and move on ?

I can tell this eats him up inside .

Would there be a better way for my friend to approach his brother on this ?

Answer 1

If his brother won't do it maybe he can get another surgeon that he knows to do it for free. I personally think maybe he isn't being patient with the weight loss. It takes a long time and he could bump it up to more than three times a week. that's nothing.

Answer 2

You say your friend has a condition that predisposes him to gaining weight around the middle. I would imagine that is exactly why his brother does not want to do surgery on him.

Most responsible plastic surgeons will not do a procedure when they know it is just a temporary fix, and that it will not solve the underlying problem. In the case of your friend, from what you have described, surgery would only be a temporary fix. He would still gain weight around the middle, and that would still be a problem spot.

I am sure your friend is bummed about it, but it sounds like he needs to accept it and move on. Maybe he is not destined to look like he models for GQ.
