What are your guys thoughts on plastic surgery?

Woman who have had boob jobs, etc don't do it for me. I like my women natural and real, not fake!

It's unnatural

I think it should be encouraged far less, and only reserved for people who really need it. Meaning people with cancer, people who need skin grafts, etc. I get so sick of seeing plastic people. Give me humor any day. Some of the most "ugliest" people are the most entertaining I will ever meet. I'd choose the "not-so-good-looking" guy if he has me rolling on the floor with laughter and is a sweetheart.

Depends on what type really. Personally i would only go so far with a little bit of tweaking.
There's nothing wrong with changing your appearance. But make sure you deeply into the matter, what with complications and adverse reactions.

Rhinoplasty is something ive even considered to fix my several times, busted nose.

If it makes you happy and more confident in yourself then why not....u just need to take self control and make sure you do it for the right reasons and for yourself :)

Plastic surgery doesn't always make you look better.

I've had this conversation about plastic surgery with some of my past relationships. And here is what I told them.

"Baby god already made you beautiful. If you want to do it to feel better about yourself go right ahead it won't change the person inside and that is what makes you beautiful."

If its something she feels she wants or needs to do I wont tell her not to. But I will always let her know it won't change my perception of her as a person or my love for her. As a man it is our duty to build our woman up and show them how to feel good about themselves when they dont and support them in any of their endeavors. If she is set on doing it I'll support her decision 100% if she decides not to I'll support her 100%.

For me I personally don't believe I need plastic surgery. Even if trying to just turn back the clock a little. If we were meant not to age our DNA would be Symmetric and it isn't. Like most fine wines we as people do get better with age.

Not sure. I was with a woman once that had breast implants and the surgeon had done a good job and they were really nice.

Went out with a girl that did have big breasts but she said that she wasn't happy with them and wanted to go up to a G. I think that would have been alright actually because she was a younger woman and even though she wore the same size bra as older women that I've been out with, they somehow didn't look as big. It was probably because they weren't saggy, due to her age.

Anyway, I personally don't have a problem with it and don't go on about not liking plastic people in some sort of atempt to make myself look like someone that likes women just the way that they are because it's not actually that easy to tell if a woman has had a breast augmentation if it's a professional job and if they don't look at odds with the rest of her figure. .

Women do all sorts of cosmetic things to either make themselves more attractive, or to just make themselves feel better about themselves and I don't judge them for it. It's really no different from getting hair extensions or wearing a push up bra really, apart from the fact that when they take that bra off they just flop out and aren't what they appeared to be.

As far as getting plastic surgery myself goes; well, I just turned forty five and am not losing my hair. Been told that I look youthful and don't need liposuction because I'm not fat. Was considering getting a nose job at one point but then a girlfriend of mine pointed out that she liked the fact that I have a big hooter because it's useful as a **** stimulator.

Would U tell someone not to have bracers, or put on veneers or false teeth to fix their smile? If the person has the time and the money, and it makes them happy, who R we to judge? Of course, Body Dimorphic Disorder is real, and so are addictions, so, keep UR eyes peel 4 that possibility.

After seeing so many botched jobs on celebrities and after hearing about so many people getting infections and dying from the procedure, I think not...

Also, I like how I look, no need to change it.

I've had a penile reduction (actually I had to be circumcised twice as a baby but this sounds cooler) and it turned out quite nicely. I think if it's necessary then it's a good thing.

I have to agree with you Jack, necessary is a very good thing :)...In the right hards, even unnecessary can be a good thing....I must say clown lips and breast implants can be pretty scary looking though...I have a cousin who did her lips and when she smiles only one side of her upper lip moves ...Before she started messing around with cosmetic surgery, she was drop dead gorgeous...Now, she looks like a caricature of her once beautiful self

I like the balanced viewpoint here! Very nicely said Lionsbrew!

meh...not interested. but I think the possibility is wonderful for those who need it due to birth defects or disfigurement

Exactly!

It very much depends on the "why" a person is considering surgery and weather the risks are warranted.

Living in Sacramento, Ca. where statistically more surgeries are done than any where else in the country supposedly I have had this conversation several times.

I truly believe there are psychological ramifications for even the most minor surgery and the best outcomes. You start tinkering with a person's body you are messing with their identity no matter how subtle. It should never be done without much forethought and high quality aftercare.

Where it is medically necessitated I can usually justify reconstructive surgery. Certainly is a quality of life issue then. And I have known being in the field I was for years of many who had spectacular results. Especially with palate and breathing issues, which has a big impact on sleep. In regards broken noses which a lot of people kind of say oh not that big a deal I would encourage a second look. Same with facial reconstruction around dentistry which is woefully under funded and causes all kinds of expensive secondary health issues.

Another is breast reduction. If someone has never had to deal with the chronic neck, back, face, and arm pain of having more "blessing" than the body structure seems to support it is hard to comprehend but I think more than justifies the cost and short term discomfort from almost every single person I know that has done it. I will say the family and ethnic backlash that some surgery patients have had to face is particularly cruel. I gained even more respect for Queen Latifa when she had her surgery and handled the merciless abuse she endure with grace and professionalism. I am hoping in at least one of her shows she addresses this issue.

I will insert here that I am diametrically opposed to surgery that is in any way done to reduce anyone's ethnic appearance. To me it smacks of the worst form of racism and self hatred. I realize prejudice exists but I really doubt looking less ethnic will ever be justified.

Which is exactly why I find trying to prevent an ageing appearance so very offensive. There is a beauty and enhancement that time puts on the body that has been pushed aside by the youth oriented culture in some circles that really misses the mark of humanity.

I do think that it is a very personal choice if a person has a difference that is what they may consider a disability. And just because their parents or society see it as either a disability or an affirmation of their family trait is not the sole factor in the determination of weather a child should have surgery. I was student association president of a school touted as the Jr. Gauladette (school for the deaf) and the issue was hotly debated and still do. To me a person seeking restoration of any senses or abilities should have that option. If they don't want it fine. I personally think some genetic markers are particularly pretty. Perhaps it is the artist in me but variety in pigmentation, the rarer the better, is something I find very alluring. Children of mixed blood are particularly beautiful to me since it seems that the higher power takes the best of both parents. I am very against anyone trying to "correct" their skin by artificial means.

Most breast reconstruction seems to be justified in my book if someone wants it. Again for body symmetry and comfort because the absence of a single breast does require what are still pretty uncomfortable, expensive, and esthetically offensive prosthesis. I truly think if men needed them the technology would have developed 50 years ago. The implant products that still make it to market are shamefully below the standard that should exist.

I am 1000% against artificial breast enhancement above the accepted norm for that body type as outright criminal malpractice and abuse of women in general. I have yet to see a woman who did not eventually have physical and mental complications and little or no avenue for many of the life threatening consequences when the people or jobs that paid for them are long gone. I think men who find this fetish appealing should have to have the same done to them as an orientation how badly they need mental health counseling.

I am for surgery in the case of trauma if the patient wants it or needs it. I have very personal experience with this and I found that while it did not erase the pain of being a victim it went a long way if helping me move to being a survivor and feeling there was justice in the world. I will say that more acceptance and less emphasis on having to erase every scar that life inflicts would be better in many instances. The perception that injury ruins life is often more the burden than the injury itself.

My feeling is no one should have to be a walking billboard for their differences. NOTHING will get me faster than someone who does not have the Good Manners to let a person make their own choices about addressing any difference regardless of the cause. I am particularly torn when People have been affected by military service, or DUI, or cancer, or one of the many things we are trying to cure who are paraded around. To me it is the supreme insult to human dignity and should totally be on their own terms. I chose when and where I wanted to be and advocate and I think every other person should have the same right weather plastic surgery or some device ect. could make them what they once were. That they are a PERSON now is what should always be front and center.

I think the sad part is when a woman gets this type of work done and within a year or two, she finds something else to get done, then something else...

Plastic surgery doesn't fix a low self esteem. You may get nice boobs but still feel like you're just not good enough or pretty enough!

I think you need to fix the inside first.

Even dr's can be prejudiced. I remember visiting one for a completely different problem, and he suddenly mentioned that I had a tooth growing infront of another tooth. He then asked if I'd like it removed. I should have been more angry with him for that, because that means he was pointing out a fault in my appearance. How HE wanted me to look. I've had jibes about being thin by other dr's. They seem to judge without knowing the full story. I didn't say I was anorexic or wanted to be thin. It can depend on genetics, blood type, metabolism. Take your pick, but picking on me according to what I "should" look like is nobody's business. At least I don't look like a blow-up doll. So I've been put off visting any dr now.

I have had plastic surgery, but not because I wanted to enhance my looks for any insecurity reasons. I had to have facial plastic surgery to cover my jawbone after a severe automobile accident. If it had been for aesthetic reasons to make myself feel younger, I might have passed, don't know for sure. If I decided to have it done for these reasons, I would make sure I had a reputable plastic surgeon, but still there are no guarantees to these procedures. I was very fortunate to have gotten a great plastic surgeon, who did a great job.
