Would you ever have cosmetic surgery?

Would you or have you ever had cosmetic surgery?

Normally I would say that I wouldn't but then thought what if I was disfigured in a car accident or a fire, then I would.

I also have met people that have had breast augmentations and they say they were flat as a board and always were made fun of. It is easy for me to say that I wouldn't when I never had those issues.

So while I doubt I ever would, I can understand why some would. I have also known of women that have gotten surgeries and it didn't help them one bit with self esteem.

At base though isn't being self conscious about something at the root of it? In theory, mental therapy would help more than modifying the parts of your body you hate.

What do you think?

Well,if anyone disfigured or made fun of,does surgery and makes him happy,then i think it's the best thing,Happiness is more important in life.i would do da same if i were in dat place.

Now that's a completely different thing than vanity surgery - I think pretty much everyone here would do what they could to get (more or less ) back to their former selves after accidents like that.

Plastic surgery after an accident yes

Plastic surgery to improve my looks no. My ex, awake of the fact i dont like my face very much, thought i should do it to make myself like me. =/

that is what I wonder also, would it really improve self esteem or is beauty really on the inside no matter what I wonder. The idea that a million people can tell you that you are gorgeous but if you don't believe it , then it won't matter. ? I wonder

After a terrible accident, maybe.

For those with minor deficiencies e.g a flat chest. so what??? Some men dont care.

Unless you market your body for a living (playboy model e.t.c) cosmetic surgery is vanity, nature has a way of catching up. Just my opinion

Calling it a deficiency doesn't exactly support your "so what???"

No to having plastic surgery except for a really bad accident in which case yes I would

I have a flat chest and learned to live with it.

I don't understand the problem with cosmetic surgery.
If people want to do it, if they pay for it, what's the problem? It's their body and they are their only owners.

I think all women should be obliged by law to undergo cosmetic surgery until they look like Shakira. Or Jennifer Lopez. Or either of their identical twin sisters.

I'll be making it part of my political manifesto at the very next general election.

then I want to do the same with men and make them look like Antonio Banderas

if i have to, like there's no other option for me to stay alive.. then yes, but otherwise..hell no

Why not?
Personally, I don't need any work doing - I look mighty fine
However, I didn't get this way by accident. I like to look good, it improves my self-esteem. I regularly go to a gym and work purely on sculpting my physique.
I'm aided a lot by the fact that I getting thoroughly exhausted , but much of it is just vanity. I'm all in favour of just accepting one's flaws and growing old gracefully, but I consider my naturally skinny and slight build to be a physical flaw - I didn't just accept it; I've made the most of what I've got. I'd say that cosmetic surgery is just an extension of this mindset. Intensive exercise has been my tool and some people will put surgery in their toolbox.

For every horror story like the freak show above, there are thousands that go perfectly well, for every oversized and grotesque boob job, there are thousands of perfectly well-shaped alterations that you would not know aren't real unless you're told and less blatant surgeries like a rhinoplasty that would go unnoticed by a stranger. Messing yourself up is the worst-case scenario. Similarly, so-called surgery addiction is very much a minority reaction. Take a trip to your local cosmetic surgeon and have a peek through their portfolio. These guys are in every major city in constant demand, I'm sure any one of them would be happy to show you their success stories.

So who is happy with the way they are? Ask anyone watching their weight, fretting over their receding hairline, ageing complection or short stature (though I don't think that can be helped by anything).
While surgery is at the extreme of the spectrum, there are plenty of things that people do every day that reflect a similar attitude: People wearing contact lenses instead of glasses. Isn't that vanity? How about laser-eye surgery - unlikely to "mess up yourself", but definitely cosmetic surgery. Makeup and hair dye isn't far off temporary cosmetic surgery. What of tattoos and piercings? They're fairly permanent alterations to your appearance.

Personal appearance matters in some way to nearly everyone. Proving that you're unhappy with yours hardly makes you abnormal. It's just that some people are just more inclined to do something about it.

Woops, I think I just responded to a spam post!
Never mind.

The other half of the gender divide seems to like me as I am.

I think when i get older, i'm going to be fed up if i get a sagging chin. Not sure if i'd do anything about it though.
Depends on the seriousness of the saggage.

Adriana had several surgeries. I guess it's all about what you start with.

I can only guess at what Adriana Lima would be like. Who would be foolish enough to be interested in a woman based on her vitals?

Isn't that a bit on the harsh side? If all of my stupid comments were added up, it would probably be recommended that i never leave my house again.

As long as he doesn't say "you're stoopid & ugly" to the students I'm sure it'll be fine.

I have had a few moles removed but I don't know if that's 'cosmetic'. It was more practical, as my shirt collars sometimes made them uncomfortable.

If it were free, safe, and guaranteed to be effective I might have cosmetic surgery. Or I might not.

Recovery from a disfiguring accident (burns, for example) is different. There's no question there. It's a good thing and worthwhile.

Birth defects (harelip, for example) are good enough reason to have cosmetic surgery. It isn't necessary, but the reality is that a large portion of people react poorly to disfigured people. So it's worthwhile to have them fixed. On the other hand, some birth "defects" aren't bad (by my opinion and maybe by the opinion of most). I mean, if you were born with pointy ears, wouldn't that be more cool and interesting than displeasing? Born with a tail? Cutting it off would be a shame!

Removing normal age signs is kind of weak. I understand the desire for it, but still...

I dunno, but if they send people to spam forums, they don't seem very reputable

Funny you should ask this question. I don't think I would ever change the way my face looks mainly because I'm afraid I would look like MJ (that's just wrong on so many levels). I also dont want to look like anyone else. If everyone looked the same then life would probably be boring. But I have always wanted to get breast implants. I know several people that it helped their self-esteem. I was blessed in the booty area, not with boobies

Welcome to D&D!

I don't see anything wrong with boobies. And they certainly have a link to happiness, I just don't know how deep a link.

You shouldn't concern yourself with the opinion of someone that would judge you on your brests size tho. There are plenty of people that would take big personality over big tits and they may just offer more than "Hey, I like your boobs!".

Thank you!

I wouldn't get it done because of what other people think. I would do it for myself. I may never have it done and that would probably be fine but it's just something that has always bothered me. It's a girl thang.

Also I wouldn't be like a lot of girls that go from nothing to DD either. I just want a decent size that I'm comfortable with. Like I said, I may never do it but if I had to choose some form of plastic surgery that would be it.

Why not have a girl with big personality and decent boobies??? I say.....SCORE! Hehehe

I have often found that ladies with a smaller boob size tend to be more intelligent and I've been out with a number of women. Thought about that while sipping my Irn Bru with a famous Tunnocks caramel wafer. Never been a great fan of women with footballs hanging round their necks. Now I see adverts on tv for skin care for men? Ye Gods how effeminate do they want to be? Damn pansie stuff. I prefer a world where men are men and women are nice to look at without getting airhead about their looks, etc. Anyway, men tend to grow older more gracefully I think, whereas women fight it all the time and are conned by cosmetic controllers in advertising. You can keep unisex.

Just the other week as it happens the daughter of a friend of mine who is 24 and quite a clever lass remarked that she thought this quiet man, handsome. So no need for me to change my stand on cosmetic. Some of us just have it naturally I think?...........

So you're telling me that you are some "God's gift to women?" I've have read some of your posts about love and blah blah blah. Guys have this I way of not sharing their feelings but you seem to be completely different. You act like you have a ton of ladies chasing you. Sounds like a cover up if you ask me. Answer this are you single? hmmm

Back to the topic in hand. Really? You think that there's a connection between breast size and intelligence. That is the most ignorant observation I have heard in years. Wow! Maybe you should go to your local library pick up a book about "how the brain functions" and I bet you that it has nothing about breast size in it.

Oh and skin care for anyone is a great thing. Your skin is the first defense your body has to fighting infections. If you have dry, cracked skin bacteria, fungus', and other things can enter your skin easier. Ever wonder why some diabetics lose there feet and /or legs? Because they didn't take good care of their feet and legs. Infection sets in and it takes them longer to heal. So no, men that use lotion doesn't make them less of a man.

well i have a theory to back rj's claims -its not all that scientific but rather psychological. Women with Big boobs often get obssesed with all the male (and sometimes female if you know what i mean) attention they get as regards to their endownment and they think: i'm hot! They see it as a means of self esteem rather than their wits; they get distracted by their beauty and fail to see the need for intelligence, but for the ladies with smaller boobs, what they loose in boobs they try to make up in books. For example in high school (sec school) those with the small boobs are often nerds while those with big boobs are often in the class of the air heads. At least so they are potrayed in movies

well in my own personal experience, i had once gone out with a girl or two with big boobs, it didnt last; after a month or so, i realised i was not really interested in the girl, just the body and there is really nothing in big boobs just size. What i'm saying is that big boobs may attract a man to a woman but it takes more than that to keep him. I'm currently going out with a girl without big boobs and we've been together now for two years and i cant imagine being without her and hope to take her to the altar in a few years. Sometime ago she used to fret about the size of her boobs and ask me things like 'is my boobs too small, you wish they were bigger?' and i'd look at her and say 'duno bout you but they are totally perfect for me' i didnt say it to make her feel good, i said it cos i meant it. That seemed to help boost her self esteem and she never complained anymore.
The idea here is that when people we care about the most tend to love and appreciate us the way we are, changing how we look seems less likely.

hmm.. to boob or not to boob, that's the question.
This is turning too much philosophical for me, I'm a lover of simple things. Can we have them medium sized? preferably, in pairs.

As for sugery, some people see it as degrading -like i do- to alter their God given looks just to be accepted by people or friends. If people are not going to accepted them the way they are then to hell with it. But others aren't that strong.
I have no qualms against cosmetic sugery as long as its done in moderation, but i'd prefer a sugery that alters ugly attitudes and charater most people posses these days

First off congrats on the relationship!!! Second, I'm not convinced that your breast size has anything to do with your intelligence. Yes, some women use their looks to their advantage. Most of the time probably works but doesnt necessarily mean that she isn't smart. I will admit there are a lot of airheads out there but there are some that have small boobs. Maybe some men are too busy looking at women's chest to realize that she has brains.
Also, some women have plastic/cosmetic surgery done to get attention from the opposite sex, enhance career opportunities but others just do it for personal gain. I would be one to do it for myself and not for others.
And not all women that want their breasts enlarged want them to be large. Some ( like myself) just want to have "medium" sized ones.

To prove my point, I am not highly intelligent nor am I dumb. I have periods where I am an airhead and mildly retarded and I don't have a big boobs. So put that in your pipe and smoke it

What does medium even mean? Anything more than a handful is a waste, but I think most probably have more than a handful (although some men have rather large hands; could they be the ones obsessing over large breasts? ).

i'd go with you on that mandi..... tho never knew you was a female thought. Probably the only female currently on d+d

Well if I were a guy I don't believe I would share that I wanted breast implants.

I am? Sweet! I make sense sometimes

I'm guessing 'medium' is around a B or C cup?

I am a little lost on the correlation between brains and boobs. Not sure that's just related to tig-o-bitties. Maybe values?

At any rate, any woman that joins D&D talking about boobies and popping off to rj is OK with me regardless of breast size... If only she brought up more, lol.

Yeah that's what I would call medium.

Lol I'm a little sassy

I must say mandi26 not withstanding that I stick by what I said about female breasts due to the long association I have had with womanhood. That her stats don't fit in with my assertions could equally mean she is an exception? For example she questions if I am married and going out with all those women?? Every woman I have been with and intelligent has been of the neater variety excpet one. But she falls into that same catagory as mandi26. There are always exceptions to every general appraisal! Personality and common-sense along with a nice disposition are important aspects in a woman not just looks.

As for quipping that am I meant to be God's gift to women. I have never ever actually said that but I do recognise that they always enjoy my company so you can equally put that in your pipe and smoke it. She is safe as I don't go with woman smokers!

and thus the yoda of female psychic speaks..

Awesome! I've been categorized. First time for everything I guess. I'm curious though, what do you mean by the neater variety?

I agree there is more to anyone than just there looks. For instance, I love when a guy can make me laugh. Sense of humor is big for me. I would assume that's what men look for also but I'm not going to sit here and act like I know men because I don't.

As for the "gods gift to women", you didn't have to say it. You just give off that impression. The guy that has a huge ego and believes he knows women better than women do. Psssh highly unlikely.

I wouldn't brag about "all" these women you've been with. It really isn't a good look.

Wait what were we talking about? Oh yeah, BOOBIES!

True. She just doesn't realize that Howie is, in fact, God's gift to women. In Vegas we appreciate a charismatic personality and that's why News Channel 5 filmed Howie walking the streets of Glasgow with a whole train of women in tow. The train snaked around several city blocks, there were so many of them. The anchorwoman estimated that he had at least 5,000, even as she fell in love with him herself, just from the video. The co-anchor was a gay guy, so he fell in love as well. So much for objective reporting I didn't dare watch more than 30 seconds, lest I fall victim.

One size "a"', the other size "d". Balance is for sissies!

Plus two different sizes would create more visual interest Maybe a third larger one down a bit in the shape of a half-circle so the effect is a winking smiley face Think outside the boob box!

Och, I have a sense of humour. I'm not bothered about what mandi26 says about me she is only one woman and I have enough to occupy me here. Breasties (good old Scots word that one) are nice as long as they are not big things to protect you if the car crashes. The neater woman (small size if that makes it clearer to the wee lassie) are nice and fit in better than someone looking like as if they are selling balloons.

I was hurt once and had to get corrective surgery. The whole ordeal was probably the worst experience of my life so far. If anyone wants to go through that over vanity, go nuts. Although I guess in the average case of a healthy person just doing it for looks wouldn't be as bad an experience. So do what you want, if it works for you great, if not, congratulations on pissing away a lot of money. I hope you're wealthy.

I wonder when she'll get the surgery to have those taken out. For once in this thread, I'm not kidding. With all that weight in the front, she's bound to have back problems. Do people in find that attractive? I feel like I'm on the freeway trying to not stare at a car wreck.

Well an awful lot of women with balloons Jaybro (not all, not all of course) are airheads suits them. You want something you can cope with and don't have to wrestle.
