Plastic Surgery
Do you agree to the fact that plastic surgeries makes you/someone/ proud? What do you think?
Discuss. x.x |
I don't know. I need to ask my Church people to make a decision whether it's right or wrong :P I want my nose fixed, nostrils are too big D: But I do think it's good for some, like on Extreme Makeover and that, it gives them the confidence they didn't have before.

Plastic surgery is revolting. People should just be happy with who they are and how they look.
I've nothing against Michael Jackson, but plastic surgery completely messed up his look. |
There are some people who really do need it (and not because they think they're ugly, people who need it because that certain flaw is giving them problems, or something like that), but all in all, I don't think plastic surgery is really necessary. Because, number 1, it's like saying you're not enough for yourself, it's like putting yourself down, number 2, it hurts, number 3, it's expensive. :/
|
Really, who needs plastic surgery when you've got cosmetics? :D
...People that suffer fires. I think only them are people that should think about plastic surgery. Nobody wants burn scars forever. It's pretty sad, you know. :( |
Reconstructive surgery is good, or something that's otherwise necessary for one's health, but if all one wants is per example a bigger pair of breasts then I'm not really seeing the point.
|
I have no issue with it, if it's some really huge problem that's affecting a persons life, be it directly or indirectly then I have no problem, even if it is a bit vain and all about appearance, if its boosts their confidence or otherwise improves a person's life, why not?
It only really becomes a problem when people get to obsessive, decreasing the size of your ears by 3 millimetres or whatever. Even then its your body and your money do as you please, just don't expect sympathy from me when your lips look like they transplanted from a horse. |
If you can't accept your looks as is, you have low confidence in yourself. :/
But reconstructive surgery is alright. I mean, some people get messed up by things and don't want to go around with half a face. That's understandable. |
It's your body right? Why shouldn't you be allowed to make yourself look better? If you have a huge nose and want reduced, great. If you want bigger boobs, I'm happy for you (and your boy/girlfriend ;)).
|
For the people that get cosmetic surgery responsibly, it's more of a confidence thing than a vanity thing, and that's all fine and well. It's the stereotyped valley girl wannabes that do it just to be as vain as possible that irk me. >_>
|
I think if someone has some serious things like something that happened to their face during an accident, a fire, or are born that way, then plastic surgery is ok. But if someone wants to get plastic surgery because they think it will make them more "beautiful", the need to get plastic surgery from plastic explosives or something........ Okay, maybe not that extreme but it's ridiculous.
Somewhat young people don't need plastic surgery because they already look fine, and old people don't need plastic surgery because they are supposed to look gross and old, that's how you know they are wise. :D Every one of those 60%+ plastic celebrities look so disgusting, why would they do that? And on a similar subject, implants, don't even get me started on those.... XD |
Yes if it gives people the confidence they wouldn't have had before. Can you honestly say there isn't something about yourself you'd change if you could? It's just a shame that people place so much emphasis on looks when it comes to self-esteem. But it's a raw animal instinct we cannot fight.
|
It's something that anyone considering it should think long and hard about, like when getting a tattoo or getting married. Obviously when you haven't thought much about it it will show. I've seen a couple of bad tattoos and bad marriages and I could tell there hadn't been as much planning as there should have been. Still, it's a personal choice.
People who look down on others for getting plastic surgery without knowing the reasons they get it are just as vain as their image of the people they're criticizing. Also, think a moment of people who are transgendered before making sweeping comments. |
I don't see a problem with it. It's their body. If it makes them feel good, that's great for them. For some people, confidence comes naturally. Others need to have fake boobs to feel good. Whatever works for them.
Honestly, I don't think it's worth the money, though. |

It's not about how someone looks, it's about who they are. Of course, that doesn't work for everyone. A lot of people judge others on how they look, and if someone doesn't like the way they're being judged and bought plastic surgery I'm happy that they found confidence somewhere else. In my opinion, it doesn't make someone "proud" at all, or at least not "proud" in the definition you meant. I wouldn't get it myself, but that's because I agree with the first sentence. XP
On the subject of reconstructive surgery, I actually think it should be provided by most insurance and health care plans. Again, though, as long as the damage isn't too severe, I'd live my life with a scar. |
I agree with getting plastic surgery because of a facial deoformity or something like that.
But I really don't get why you need to get plastic surgery to make someone else happy... |
Only if something bad happened, like a full-face burn or something. Otherwise, it's revolting, disgusting, and abnormal. Fake boobs, noses, etc. is just showing that you're self-conscious, and overall, ridiculous and stupid.
^ That's what I think. |
I agree with Yu-chan.
Only people who are super self-conscious elect to have this kind of surgery. Now if it's a serious deformity, then it's perfectly fine...otherwise, it should be strongly discouraged. I'm not against breast reduction, but breast enhancements ought to be banned. x3 |

Yeah, I really see no problem with plastic surgery. Who are we to judge someone else for doing something to their body? It doesn't affect us in any way at all. If you want it to make yourself look prettier, I really don't see the point in that to begin with, though. I mean, we're all going to grow old and decay at some point, so why delay the inevitable?
|
I'm actually very surprised at the amount of comments saying "it's their money, they can do what they want with it [and I won't judge]". I expected to be in the vast minority with my post. :|
But anyway, I don't have a strong opinion on plastic surgery. I think I used to but now I don't see it as any different than buying a ton of makeup to cover areas that "need improvement". If someone has the money and will to "fix" something permanently, go for it. :/ It's still money being spent on the economy. And honestly? Not everyone who gets plastic surgery does it frivolously. And to all those saying "people should feel good in their natural bodies because it's wrong to change that". Yeah, well, they don't. If they did feel good, they wouldn't get plastic surgery. :/ I do feel that other options should be explored first buuuut if it's just the one thing, they have the means to do it, and it fixes some huge self-esteem issue, I don't personally have a problem. It's their life, their body, and their money and their decision to make. I wouldn't judge someone for deciding to eat at McDonald's over going to a health food store. :/ May not be physically best for them in the end but it's their decision and it honestly has nothing to do with me. (Of course, things like breast reduction or facial reconstruction for those who need it for obvious medical reasons goes without saying--that should be fine and without social stigma no matter what. o_O) |

There's a difference between simply disagreeing with something and thinking of it as something that's 'wrong' or 'unacceptable'. |

I'm kind of pointing my reply more toward the people who outright say that others who have plastic surgery are stupid/silly. I'm fine with those who merely disagree but judging/condemning others for their personal choices (relating to THEIR body/money?)... that ticks me off. :/ What they do can be silly (in one's opinion) but that doesn't outright mean that they ARE silly or that their reasons for doing it are entirely superficial, vapid, or stupid. And that's the vibe I get from a lot of people when this sort of thing comes up. |
