Would you get, or have you ever gotten, cosmetic surgery?

[elperromagico]

There are some instances, of course, where someone needs cosmetic surgery - to repair damaged skin from burns, for instance. But would you ever receive unnecessary cosmetic surgery?

7. i want to get reverse plastic surgery

have them make me look about 127 years old then still behave like a 9 year old,no one would pick on me for being a jerk.

2. Seriously tho-

prolly not. I have tattoos, but I consider that a different beast

[Timebound]

3. I would

But then again I have bad burn scars on my left arm. That's the only reason I'd get it though.

4. 1. No. 2. Absolutely NOT

I want to die with the body I was born in.

5. No. Cosmetic surgery is stupid.

I regard those who do get cosmetic surgery as incredibly shallow individuals, unless they happen to be deformed or disfigured in some way.

6. sure, not overboard, but subtle stuff when i need it maybe.

haven't yet,but don't see anything wrong with it in moderation and if its tasteful.

8. I'd pay to get my breasts lifted and my stretchmarks removed, maybe...

If I had enough money and no other outstanding bills, I certainly would consider it. But I think I'd always find a better use for the money. Seems kind of silly--though I do hate the stretchmarks and saggy dog ears (thanks Kate Winslet) and doubt I'll find a man who will find that hot.

As for work on my face, oh no. I always think of Jocelyn Wildenstein, who went from quite pretty here (1st pic):

9. yikes, that is pretty frightening,

esp the last pic in the link you gave. poor woman, she really was just fine in the first place.

[tjdee]

10. Yeah, I couldn't copy/paste it, isn't that scary!

She just couldn't stop, I wonder what she *really* thinks when she looks in the mirror.

Man.

11. That is frightening. Almost as much as the one of Betty Ford after

her "cosmetic surgery". She looked like a freak, and NOTHING like her old self.

Now, a boob job for a woman who has nursed kids for years is one thing. Fuckin' with your facial features is entirely another. Don't ever forget Michael Fuckin' Jackson.

15. Holy Shite!

That last picture scared the hell out of me!

[Baja Margie]

12. That was scary,

But I would like to try out Botox. Except my insurance doesn't cover it. My Dermotologist who's treating my squamous cell ( I have it all over my arms & legs from years in the sun) does it in her office. Maybe next year.

[Neoma]

13. Not sure,maybe i would (i have not gotten any)

I watched too many Nip/Tuck Episodes

14. Only if I got in a horrible schmelting accident

that disfigured my body in some way. Then I might have reconstructive plastic surgery.
