Cosmetic Surgery vs. Therapy
Most of us want to look our best and that is usually a healthy thing. But obviously, some people take it way too far and get virtually every possible alteration know to man, done, in an attempt to become something that they really aren't.
As an example, many women today get breast implants simply because they think it will make them look better. But just thirty years ago, this wasn't possible. Does this mean that women in the 70's and before led tortured lives where they constanty were wishing for bigger boobs? I'd imagine that at some point in their lives, they would come to terms with the fact that they have what they have and that's that. And I think that is a good thing; to be able to accept yourself and your body for what it is. Today, girls younger than 20 are getting breast implants. How well do they know themselves at that emotionally vulnerable age that they are making this decision? How many girls at that young age actually are happy with their bodies? And it's not just women. Even worse are guys that get pec or calf implants, to 'beef' up their physique. For the love of God, go to the gym and eat right. Worse yet, is anyone that even thinks of getting a butt implant. Yes, this may well be the new fad, as thick booties shaking in videos grow exponentially, thus giving women a new physical trait to obsess over. Personally, I can understand minor cosmetic surgery; say getting some wrinkles removed, hair removal, mole removal, etc. But when it comes to the point where you are putting things inside of your body to try to give it the appearance of a body you don't have, I think this might sometimes point to deep rooted insecurities that are the real problem.

I must admit that I was contemplating getting breast implants, but more for practical reasons then cosmetic. Damn boobs are stuck between cup sizes. Finding a bra SUCKS. I decided against it because it's just not worth the risk or the money.
I really don't understand the people that get addicted to it. Look at Lisa Rinna and her humongo lips. And Melanie Griffith looks so taut she hurts to look at. My favorite has to be the lion lady: This was her before: |

like everything else it is about moderation. it is your body and your choice. the self image issue i am sure does not go away after the surgery, i would guess that once one "flaw" is corrected your focus would move to something else. At that point it becomes an obession and you could turn into the freak above.
the whole thing scares me sara |

I personally think that plastic surgery may have become a little too.... available.
for certain things I think its a miracle, its refreshing to know that if you get into an accident or a dog gnaws the side of your face off. there is something people can do so you can lead a normal life. or another acceptable reason would be breast augmentation for those with breast cancer however there are some perfectly gorgeous girls that go out and have it done for nothing or just because they don't feel comfortable with themselves. Its deffinatly overdone in some cases. Some people who opt for it really DON'T NEED it. I think there is something to be said for those who nit pick the size/shape of their nose or breasts. I think that alot of sex appeal is not so much just in how you look but how you carry yourself and how well you maintain what you already have. If you need new breast to fell better about yourself then you're using it as a crutch... personally I don't see how that is healthy. Brad |

As StiTuner said, if you were mauled or injured, it makes sense so that you can continue to lead a normal life. But to just go do it because it's the "in" thing or because you think you will be a happier person is kind of short sighted. No matter how good you may think you look, if you're an insecure person, you will remain one regardless of plastic surgery. |

Spend some time in OT as a girl and it will explain it all. I male NASIOC member actually posted one time that "bulemia is a gift". Your only worth in this country is wether or not a boy will hold up a "I'd hit it" sign. Enless you are a girl you have no idea what we deal with on a daily basis. Like most girls i have contemplated surgery due to the lack of acceptance in this country. The men in this country are turning beautiful natural women into nasty fake creations. |

But yes, I hear the same thing over and over from women. While it is a shame that many men have such a narrow definition of beauty, all I can say is stop basing your self-worth on what men think of you. Women don't need men for much other than families anymore. And when it comes time that you want a man for a family, you don't want one that will only love you with fake tits and a facelift. |

I really don't see anything wrong with it.
If it makes someone feel better, great. Be it an actual, or perceived flaw, if it mends their insecurity, big or small, it will help them let go of that insecurity and feel better. If you feel better about yourself, you will live a more complete life. If my ears stuck out a lil bit, and I wanted to get that fixed, and by getting it fixed I would think people would take me more seriously, then why shouldn't it be ok for me to do that? If it helps me act as a more confident person, and opens me to be that much more...what is wrong with that? -Matt |

HOWEVER the other side of the coin. Lots of women ASSUME that all men like 1 particual body type, or are only interested in certain features, or certain styles. Women do this to their own demise. Atl least thats what I sort of understood at college. All of the girls were flocking to and competing over the "cool" people, ie frat guys. If one of the girls was not excepted by the frat boy then she would get all depressed and think "god I'm ugly" when there were plenty of other guys who would tell her (and mean it) on a daily basis that she was beautiful. Perhaps though those were not the guys she would consider attractive though.... most women of certain backgrounds tend to flock towards a group of guys who is much less forgiving then other groups. As a sign of their own superficiality? |

I think everyone would agree that dumbo ears might very well be a hard thing to live with. But I don't think that most people would see small boobs as a flaw. As I stated earlier, there seems to me to be a line between what is reasonable and what is excessive. If a woman sees small boobs as a flaw, why does she see it that way?? Most likely, it's due to an external influence and not an innate disposition. On the other hand, getting a few wrinkles removed is understandable. We all age, and although we say things like 'age gracefully' we don't really want to get old. Getting older is just a reminder of our mortality, and who wants that? |

Is it ok if I insist that my girl get cosmetic surgery? Cause I think she looks kinda plain without it. Hell I've already spent a few grand on her!
I mean she looks alright and everything. When I first saw her I was attracted to her round eyes. Truth be told she has grown on me a lot. But in reality she's soooooo much better looking now. ...and by my girl I mean my car. |

But yes, often what is portrayed as 'hot' is a big titted, yet otherwise quite thin woman. Which is of course not at all common without breast implants. Besides, ask most men what cup size they prefer, and it's likely they will a B or C. And this is what really confuses me, when a skinny, naturally small chested woman does get implants; instead of getting a B or C cup which might look somewhat natural onher, they go and get D or larger implants that just look comical. |
