Nip And Tuck

[Bazile]

As you get older would you / have you considered a liitle nip & tuck , here and there - or do you think you should grow old gracefully ?

[Mamyalynne]

No never - mind you I have no weight problem and have grown accustomed to not being pretty or beautiful.

[campbellking]

Nothing worse than those who've been surgically 'enhanced', so a resounding no!

I think it's possible to have a nip & tuck and still grow old gracefully.

Yes, I would. If I could afford it and felt that the result would be worth the risk associated with surgery.

Would you?

\\\\\ have grown accustomed to not being pretty or beautiful.\\\

No to worry mamy, but....." Do you do a turn?"

That is the important thing.....;-)

[Mamyalynne]

That's for me to know....

If I had the money I would have had breast enlargement a long time ago. Nowadays I would possibly consider microdermabrasion to even out skin tone and get rid of acne scarring. I would also love to have my septum rebuilt (had surgery that caused it to collapse) and my nose straightened, and some dental implants.

[EcclesCake]

I'd rather grow old disgracefully!

[ummmm]

Yes...absolutely.

[FrogNog]

I would have my nose done but I would have had it done when I was 20, so it's not an age thing.

[Dee Sa]

much more fun to grow old disgracefully !

[mallyh]

i'd like a bit of liposuction but they would need a BIG pot to cart the fat away .

Mamyalynne, your beauty radiates from within xx

[Retrochic]

yes I would have a face lift as it seems to be melting southwards. I would have all my filled teeth replaced with implants and the front ones I'd have sparkling veneers. I would have a tummy tuck as although I'm not overweight four pregnancies have taken their toll. And no -I would never grow old gracefully -disgracefully yes and when I go completely grey I'm having lavender or pink highlights put in. I have to add at this point OH thinks I'm crazy and says he loves me how I am but I have a sneaky feeling that's his bank balance talking not him.

I have got veneered and crowned teeth but that's my limit. Neither were done for beauty, the veneers protect heavily filled front teeth that would not have survived without them. This is my choice though. I wouldn't judge someone else who chose differently.
As for growing old gracefully, no chance at all and I wouldn't have it as a gift!

[Baldric]

We are a household full of ageing juveniles (including Animals) growing old disgracefully, wouldn't have it any other way!

It's an interesting one Bazile. In my ma's generation, dyeing your hair was considered on a par with selling sex. Piercing ears ditto.
Cosmetic surgery used to be scary, complex and hideously expensive - it's getting more or less better and comparatively safe and more affordable.
Given that we believe the future will get ever better and brighter, then it should become routine and a matter of easy personal choice 'at some future point'.
Which takes the matter back to its 'moral' dimension. If the operation is not complex and is within your budget, and if it will please you, why should anyone else have a say in the matter?

But then there is the increasing pernicious brain-whisper of the media, dictating what beauty is and constantly gently pointing out your imperfections, which is a toxic situation that shouldn't be encouraged.

My Mum told me 'at 20 you have the face you were born with - over 60 you have the face you deserve' - certainly true in my case

[rockyracoon]

I'm definitely getting my eyes done if they go saggy like my mum's.

[gness]

I'd consider the odd little tuck as long as it didn't distort the tattoos....x
