    I won't tell people what to do and if someone feels bad about his natural look, he sure has right to correct it.

    I must confess I resorted to plastic surgery, after an accident I had. In fact, I violently fell down while running on a sloaped road, which left me with big blows and enormous dark rings under the eyes. The blows disappeared after a certain time, but the dark rings under my eyes didn’t. People started to ask me whether I’m tired, what I have on my face. I developed a big complex because of that, I was really depressed.

    So I saw several doctors, who prescribed me creams, but it didn’t change anything, so I continued to look for a solution and desperate, I went to see a plastic surgeon. He suggested me to have injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), in other words to inject my own blood (like many sportsmen do) under my eyes, to regenerate tissues. It cost me 1,800 euros and it didn’t change anything. Then he suggested me to inject hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in our bodies (unlike Botox). It cost me 400 more euros. But it became even more horrible, as the dark rings became blue, so he injected me hyaluronidase, a substance meant to destroy the hyaluronic acid.

    Then, there was no more possibility in aesthetic medicine, so the plastic surgeon suggested to inject my own fat in the dark rings. It’s a real plastic surgery operation, with general anaesthetic. It would have cost me 5,000 more euros, but the plastic surgeon did it for free! Can you believe that? I thought only the lure of money motivated these people, but it seems I was wrong. And you know what? It’s like I never had that accident, these horrible dark rings disappeared. It was a resurrection for me, after all the trauma endured.

    Im not at all against it, if time comes and i will feel like it (and will have the money also) i will do some.
    Bc of vanity its not okay? Why? Mental health doesnt count just the physical? If the person feels himself / herself better bc of doing it, is it not better for everyone? One more happier person who may smile at you at the grocery store bc now he / she dares...

    I’m against it.
    Embrace the features your ancestors gave you.

    People can do whatever they like, it's their body.

    My observation is that, for the most part, cosmetic procedures to the face (face lift, lips, eyes, nose job) make the person look worse. Worse in the sense that they start to not look like themselves. Instead of looking younger, they look simply different and like they, 'had something done'.

    Like MR. G said, it's not a matter of whether it's OK for someone to get plastic surgery for superficial reasons, but the fact that it just looks so weird, or bad, that you wonder why they would do it--and I think it's clear it's not to look "younger" or "better" but just to be part of some weird ultra-rich aesthetic...
