Would you get cosmetic surgery...for any reason?

[terrya]

Just curious...

[KitchenWitch]

1. I did

I had a rhinoplasty to repair a broken nose and deviated septum. The surgeon also took the hook of my nose.

[Skittles]

56. no

outside of repair jobs, I see too many people who get plastic surgery and think they look good when really they look like older people desperately trying to hold on to their youth - in short, they look a bit pathetic

[dropkickpa]

2. Yep

When I've decided I won't have more kids, I'm getting me a set of perkys!!!!

[SeattleGirl]

3. I did. Had my eyes done, because they were so droopy, it

was getting hard to see.

[MissMillie]

4. yep

I would

[johnnie]

5. If someone bashed my face in with a baseball bat

I would think about it.

[Blue-Jay]

6. I'd like to have a big second butt added.

[SOteric]

7. You don't need surgery for that.

Just eat a dozen Krispy Kremes each day and wait until the approximate age of your midlife crisis.

[SOteric]

8. Sure. For reasons of illness, traumatic accident

or physical impairment you bet. But just recreationally, - heck no. I'm pretty happy with the way I look.

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Not even to have matcom's G-spot surgically adhered to your forehead?

[SOteric]

47. Awfully tempting...

but no.

[BarenakedLady]

9. I would love to

But I don't think it would help much. 3 c-sections left me with an ugly scar and a pooch that will never go away no matter how much diet and excercise I do (believe me I tried). It would have to be taken off. It is disgusting.

[jpgray]

10. For -any- reason sure. For non-reconstructive or injury-related reasons, nah

A third eye would kick ass, though.

[AlCzervik]

11. yes, i'm considering a tummy tuck.

after having a kid, gaining a bunch of weight and then losing 80 pounds i have some extra skin and when i exercise it's a problem.

[Madrone]

12. If I ever had a mastectomy -

I would consider reconstructive surgery. Then again, maybe I'd decide to "own it" and forget about surgery -- but basically I'd have cosmetic surgery done if it were more reconstructive than recreational.

[graywarrior]

13. crim son and I have BIG plans for this.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

14. yeah....... if i had a bad accident that deformed me

[Spider Jerusalem]

15. Yes, if I were in a disfiguring accident.

I'm not shallow or vain enough to do it for any other reason, though.

[idgiehkt]

24. Life is a disfiguring accident.

:hi:

Mine has been, anyway. I think I would like to have a chemical peel done. My skin is looking a little rough lately, because I have been eating a lot of junk food. Surgery is easier than living right, lol.

[crim son]

16. My god yes and I'm taking donations right now.

The Lisa Lift-Her-Face Fund. It's a good cause :)

[SPKrazy]

48. I Am Cracking Up Right Now

mainly because you are too funny




yup

you need a facelift

in about 30 years! :rofl:

[khashka]

17. I would not

But my mother says if a pitbull ripped her nose off she would.

On edit: she read this and said that she'd still have cosmetic surgery if it was a spidermonkey and not a pitbull. And she would tell the president. And you think I'm weird!

Khash.

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. Not for any reason, no; but for some specific reasons I would.

[MoseyWalker]

19. Every time my cosmetics get old, I schedule them

for yet another appointment with the surgeon. Every time.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. yes. facelifts will happen unless i magically become less superficial with old age.

[LaurenG]

22. If I were disfigured in an accident I would

otherwise I don't know.

[bluethruandthru]

23. Have had and would again!

I had Liposuction years ago and the results were great. Now I'm thinking of a lifestyle lift to get rid of the sagging jowly look!

[asthmaticeog]

25. Does waxing count?

[Evoman]

26. Double chins seem to run in the family....no matter how fit you are.

So yeah...if I couldn't get rid of my inevitable double chin (which seems to be slowly creeping in on me), I would have chin surgery, but just to get rid of the fat.

[zanne]

27. I wouldn't but I know people who have...

They're perfectly reasonable, intelligent people, and I figure if they want fuller lips or bigger boobs, that's their business.

[Kali]

28. Easy for me to say no way.

Because I have no money. If I had a lot of excess $$$ it wouldn't be anywhere near a priority, but I might go so far as to look into the possibilties.

[Dora]

29. Yep. n/t

[lildreamer316]

30. Yes

for my job. Maximize profit
ETA: I haven't yet; but I plan on it.

[bigwillq]

31. Only if I were burned/in accident

or something of the like.

[Conan_The_Barbarian]

32. No reason too

Why would I spend money to change how I look when there are thousands upon thousands going through procedures to look like me. :)

[skygazer]

33. Probably not for purely cosmetic reasons

Though perhaps - I wouldn't rule it out. I would certainly consider it if I was maimed or burned in some way.

[rhiannon55]

34. I want PLUMP lips, dammit!

I feel cheated because my lips are not fashionably plump. Wah! :cry:

[MsKandice01]

35. I need about $100,000 worth...

Losing 200 pounds does horrible, horrible things to the skin.

[hippywife]

49. Wow!

That's incredible! Congratulations. I've seen your pictures and you are an absolutely stunning lady. I'm very happy for you! What method did you use?

[MsKandice01]

54. Thanks!

I had gastric bypass surgery in 2001.

[ohiosmith]

36. Did. Three nose jobs to repair damage from boxing and facial reconstruction following an auto

accident.

[blondeatlast]

37. Absolutely; unfortunately, two issues make me ineligible for any elective surgery.

At least form any reputable surgeon.

[flvegan]

38. I'm considering breast implants.

It's easier than bench presses and flyes.

[MichiganVote]

39. I'd like a whole new model...minus the costs and the pain

[Kerrytravelers]

40. I would. There is a bump on my nose that drives me nuts.

[LanternWaste]

41. If it's reconstructive, then yeah--

If it's reconstructive or renomitive, then yeah-- (I think my current series of dental visits falls into the first category).

If it's because I don't like X about myself, then hell no! It's indicative of two things(IMO): a serious character flaw and our quick-fix culture. Guess I really am getting old fashioned....

[Left Is Write]

42. I might, but it would depend on the circumstances.

[NC_Nurse]

43. I did.

I had liposuction, reconstruction after a broken leg with a rod implanted left me asymmetrical.
It helped me feel better AND fit into clothes better.

I have taken care of many folks who had reconstructive surgery for anything from post-mastectomy for cancer to tummy tuck after a HUGE baby.

The people who pay for elective plastic surgery help to pay for those who have been burned or traumatized and can't afford reconstruction. At least, that's the way my surgeon used much of his profits.

[ContraBass Black]

44. I would if I were significantly disfigured.

[stuntcat]

45. yes.

Hell yes.

[dysfunctional press]

46. yes- if i had a disfiguring accident or bad burns. otherwise, no.

nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

50. Hell, yes.

Right now I look like a fat gargoyle -- an OLD, fat gargoyle. So bring it on -- facelift, liposuction, tummy tuck, you name it.

[GalleryGod]

51. If I could afford it. Yup. Just for vanity's sake,too.

:shrug:

[Liberal Veteran]

52. I would for facial wasting (lipoatrophy)

It's funny that you can get an insurance plan to cover 50,000 dollars worth of growth hormone to help reverse facial wasting due to HIV medications, but you can't get them to pay for 5000 in cosmetic surgery for to do the same thing.

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

53. I would get a nose job in a heartbeat

I absolutely can't stand my nose.. oh and new boobs would be nice.

[Digit]

55. Yep, going for a consult on the 13th

I need an upper eyelid lift and lower face lift IMO.

This d*mned job market is tough enough without looking older than you need to.

[GRLMGC]

57. I want a tummy tuck

but I'm really afraid of the pain during recovery and I don't really want to owe tons of money on top of my other bills. It would be nice though.

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

58. Dental work count?

If it does been there done that. but it was a must.

[auntAgonist]

59. yes, if I had the money .. I could spend about $2500.00

tummy tuck, thighs, butt, full body lift actually, breast lift, face lift .. upper arms.

aA

[w8liftinglady]

60. hell,yes...breast lift/implants and tummy tuck...are you paying?
