Plastic surgery

(god i watch some crap on tv
Prog about plastic surgery addiction...

I am actually all for surgery- if people want it then i see no harm!!

BUT the thought if volounteering for surgery is my worst nightmare!!!! If i EVER need an op id honestly not sleep for weeks at the thought i am TERRIFIED of it!!

These folks are pushing nearly 50operations!! Scary!!

Surley that is not good for you to go under anesthetic as much as that...as least not for proper health reasons!!

Brave people though- fair play!!

I think id like my eyes done when im older goin by my genes!! But id be terrified xxx

I think if I started down that road I wouldnt know where to stop

Top of the list would be my nose - it has never been the same since my mum dropped me in the coal scuttle when I was tiny

I shouldn't have laughed out loud and you being dropped in the coal scuttle Mrs O. but I'm afraid I did. Good job you didn't then get deposited on the fire. How on earth did she drop you in the coal scuttle!!!?

I have had lipo on my stomach after a caesarian op which went a bit wrong and left me very disfigures. It was done on the national health. It was simply a horrible experience and how anybody would elect to have cosmetic surgery unless they had really bad problems escapes me. Operations are not without risk. I can understand someone who is disfigured or who has real problems wanting and needing surgery, but just to have your figure remodelled, your nose altered, etc. for the sake of looking a bit more beautiful I find quite awful.

Why can't people be accepted and accept themselves for what they are?

And my liposuction was a total disaster as well. I think it looks worse than it did. But I can live with it.

Gawd knows how she did it Lottie - I was too small to remember it.
Of course I have been the butt of family jokes about it all my life :-(

These notions of perfection are passing fashions. It is wonderful that we can mend disfigurements - but the rest suggests to me too much time on the hands spent thinking about the fizzog.
And it saddens me that women collude with men to perpetuate a culture of judging women by their ever-youthful looks and fashionable outfits. What about personal worth - what legacy you leave - being a force for good?

Having preached all that, I'll freely admit to having to stifle a snort when a work colleague paraded a new nose - it made her look like Judge Dredd from the side. Paid thousands for it. She was an orrible cow so I've no sympathy.

Sir Alec, I am appalled to think that complete strangers think they have the right to be rude to you in the street about the way you look - I bet none of them were Beckhamesque either!

I have always had a seriously low self image, I really have never got used to the way I look. I know i have excellent wit and conversation, but I would love to have been me, but seriously good looking.

Impossible I know - if I had been good looking, I would not be the person I am.
