Would you have cosmetic surgery, what would you have done and why?

Question

Hiya, just wondering for a piece of writing that i'm compiling about why people want sugery and what they would want doing? Also, would you put your savings on having cosmetic enhancements and risk being in debt?

ps: what are your opinions on make over shows such as Extreme makeover or 10 year younger?

Answer 1

I'd have my man boobs reduced -for obvious reasons!
Wouldn't get into debt over it though.

Answer 2

I would NEVER have cosmetic surgery done on me unless there was an emergency or accident that made me unable to live with myself without it. I'm currently happy with my body the way it is and I feel sad that there is an increasing population of people who feel that their looks are inadequate. The reason I was born the way that I am with the features I have is because it suits me and trying to change that I would be trying to be someone I'm not. While I admit that I have small boobs and a somewhat wide nose, these parts of my body make me who I am and different from a Barbie doll. People want to get cosmetic procedures done because they have been swept up by society and wish to obtain the ideal figures portrayed in the media. Since this is not possible, many people's self-esteems fall lower and lower and they become addicted to the temporary satisfaction that surgery and eating disorders bring. I wouldn't be surprised if some risk their life savings on it because they are so emotionally dependent on surgery that they feel as if they need it to survive. They don't realize that instead of trying to change themselves so that society can accept them, they should be the ones to take charge of their lives and make rules so that society can follow their example. People need to be proud of who they are and stop reinforcing the media's negative example. People with "strong noses" or small lips should love and cherish them as they do themselves. Trying to be like other people and changing what they were born with would not be helping the situation if what they lack is much deeper inside.
Addition: Makeover shows are OK b/c they just fix up the person so that they can learn how to take better of themselves in the future. It is great for people to try to present themselves well and try to look good, but I think that they should not take it to extremes and change things that do not need to be changed.

Answer 3

Yes,definately.I have awful bags under my eyes and people are always commenting that i look tired even though i am not.Make up does not disguise them and i feel i look older than i am.I have decided to have them removed and am looking into the cost of procedures abroad as they are cheaper. I am undrestandably apprehensive about the procedure but only because i have expectations that it must be successful or my confidence will further suffer.I don't believe this is vanity but more a feeling of insecurities.We live in a society that does tend to focus on image but i work hard and will not be relying on anyone else to fund this for me so i feel I can justify the expense.I would go into debt for it as most people go into debt for major purchases.My op would cost between £1500 and £3000 which i don't consider excessive for the right result.Now if i could get on one of those makeover programmes i would be ecstatic but i believe they have long waiting lists and time is not on my side.

Answer 4

No, I would NOT make debt to have it done. Should I have funds I most certainly will have three things done. One - my boobs. I am 5ft 1inch and am only a 30-32, but have broad shoulders. I look hidious without wearing a bra resulting in not being able to wear nice sleeveless or tank tops. two I would have my teeth done. I have false teeth and the chin tends to disappear after a few years. Three - I HATE it when I want to grow my hair and it looks so untidy and stringy. So I would do the hair extensions until such time as my own hair is long.

Answer 5

No, I would never have cosmetic surgery, unless of course I was disfigured through and accident. There's more to life than looking in the mirror. You can have as many nips and tucks you want, but if you are a boring person it's not going to change that. There again, if you are unhappy with your looks and it is making you ill, maybe there is a case...
As for putting yourself in debt, I can't see the point.

Answer 6

If i could have anything i would have some lipo on my bum and thighs. They arent fat, just bigger than the rest of me because i have a condition that means those muscles dont work properly. I wouldnt ever dream of spending savings or getting into debt on cosmetic surgery unless i had been ill or in an accident etc.
Though a boob lift after babies would be considered....

Answer 7

I would probably have cosmetic surgery, but just a breast lift and maybe implants. My reason, I'm 21, I have a 9 month old baby, and the pregnancy took it's toll. I, however, would not put my savings into it, nor would I risk being in debt because of it.

Answer 8

I think cosmetic surgery is just another way for people to give into the sad, pathetic dogma of celebrities and television. Everyone is beautiful. The only way I condone plastic surgery is if you are in a horrible accident and are disfigured.

Answer 9

I would not get cosmetic surgery unless I was in a horrible accident and my face was destroyed. I think that we should all be happy with the way God (and our parents) made us. I mean when you look in the mirror you are looking at not only yourself but both of your parents. I am not completely satisfied with my body, but I would rather exercise and eat right and than surgically alter it.

Answer 10

Well, maybe a tummy tuck because i have baby fat in that area and that kind is almost impossible to get rid off with diet and exercise. I would never do it if i have not the money, having a debt is just for emergencies for me.

Answer 11

Cosmetic surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
