Plastic Surgery: are you for or against it?

[Kazimiera]

Depends.

I am definitely for plastic surgery in the case of bat-ears. Ask me, I had them. I was teased mercilessly at school, my ears were pulled, I was called names. I used to come home crying and even refused to go to school. I remember it as some of the most horrible times of my life. My mom sent me to have my ears pinned back when I was 10 and it gave me a lot of new self-confidence. I used to be extremely shy and it helped me climb out of my shell. I could wear my hair tied back without feeling like everyone was staring at me and making nasty comments about me.

In the case of where a person has trouble breathing and rhinoplasty is going to correct it. Not problem. And even if the person feels insecure about their nose, why not?

For the woman who has literally no boobs and feels extremely unfeminine and all she wants is a B-cup. Fine.

If a large epicanthic fold is in the way and obstructs sight (which happens rarely), yes.

If a person has lost a lot of weight and has unsightly flaps of skin hanging around, yes.

I can also approve if the person wants a tummy tuck after 5 pregnancies or wants to have a double chin removed.

Labiaplasty: I feel that women should be more accepting of what their genitals look like. Porn videos push a certain image of what lady bits should look like and many women are insecure of their bodies. Most women have never seen other women's bits other than porn magazines and porno movies and don't know what real women actually look like down there. If intercourse is painful, or wearing pants is uncomfortable or sore, then yes. And men should also accept that every woman is different.

Yes for only medical reasons, no for cosmetic reasons most often they end up looking freaks, natural is always more beautiful no matter what

I think plastic surgery can be a good thing in order to make one's abnormal characteristics normal (i.e. if you have to get a double mastectomy due to cancer, then you may want fake ones put on to replace them so you look like you once did, or if you get your face damaged in a car accident then you may want facial reconstruction). But it reveals the downfalls of our society when people who already look decent are getting boob jobs and ass implants and other ridiculous procedures just to look even more attractive.

Natural isn't always better if your boobs are so big they are causing back trouble. It is natural because they grew that way, but it's also natural that the woman's back is going to cave in too. Breast reduction. Why not?

I was asking because my friend recently had a rhinoplasty, her nose looked similar to this:

She hasn´t gotten the bandages off yet but I can tell she´s a lot happier and more confident already.

This is another one of those things that I would put under "Ain't none of my business". If someone is paying for the proceedures out of their pocket and wind up looking like a one Venusian greenhead and it makes them happy, then good, go for it. It's their life and their choice.

If in a publicly funded medicine programs I would think should be restricted to repairing damage or defects and even that could be a fine line on some things.

My nose is quite similar. I wouldn't get a nose job though I'd perfectly understand if for example my daughter would get my nose and wants to change it. It's much more difficult for a woman.

I am against plastic surgery except for things like cleft lips or conditions where your quality of life has diminished due to physical impairness.

Remember this famous plastic surgery gone wrong?

[Atlantic Islander]

How about in cases like this?

I´m all for it if it helps the person feel better about themselves. It´s very easy to say that you should love and accept yourself the way god/nature made you when you don´t have a nose like that. When It´s something that really bothers you and you have the option of feeling ugly and miserable for the rest of your life or doing something about it, I say go for ir.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Also something interesting is the poll results from another fora on what kind of nose men prefer on a woman:

Small 73.33%
Big 26.67%

When I get to 50 im getting a Boob lift, brazillian but lift and face lift.

Almost every celebrity has had some form of plastic surgery anyway, and they are all admired
