Only thing I wouldn't go for is something to drastically change my features, like a nose job or jaw line reshaping (WHA?) but "maintenance" stuff like augmentation/lipo/tummy tuck......why not?
well im nto saying its OK OK but…personally I think that’s my limit. looking 5-10 years younger, OK…wanting to look 20 at 45, that’s a bit too much IMO.
then again my husband is against all of this so main toh awein baat kar ri hoon
my opinion is that if you want to get something done, more power to you!!! for me, personally, i am against chin implants, jaw reshaping, ear tucking… :nono:
botox/fillers..meh…not my cup of tea but if someone does it and it makes them feel better…whatevs
lipo/tummy tucks/breast lift…after having 3 kids, it’s starting to sound better and better
photofacials/chemical peels…yes
hair replacement..no problem
I’ve never dwelled on any of this stuff waisay, I’m a pretty low maintainance type of gal, and I’m usually told I look younger than my age…good genes, my Ammi aged amazingly…she didn’t even get a single gray her until she started chemo at the age of 60!!
Cosmetic surgery is obviously ok when it’s reconstructive (post mastectomy, bad accident, burns, acid attack, etc).
But personally, I’m not sure how far I can go. I obviously don’t want to look like Joan Rivers. I won’t ever do Botox. That looks too fake and plastic.
I’m happy with my breast size. When I’m old, a good support bra is enough.
Although, I’m completely open to the idea of getting a tummy tuck after my last baby. But I guess that’s it…only a tummy tuck.
Liposuction scares the crap out of me. Didn’t Kanye West’s mom die during that?
I have no idea why he kept going back to the same doctor. :konfused: He told the doctor’s nurse (although I have no idea why he didn’t communicate with the doctor directly during pre-op) that he didn’t want cartilage taken from his ears. They did it anyway. If that happened to me…I’m not going back to that same doctor for several more surgeries. :smack:
I see nothing wrong with cosmetic surgery as long as the person is not going into debt having it done. Just like anything else in life…as long as it makes them happy and is not hurting anyone else in the process…then why should it bother me.
As for me…yes, I would definitely consider getting “stuff” done. Like Sara mentioned…I don’t expect to look like a 20-year-old when I’m 60. But making sure I look 5-10 year younger than my actual age is a realistic expectation and can be done without looking like plastic.
Chemical peels: I already do this at home and LOVE it. One of the best decisions I made for my skin along with using Retin-A/Vitamin C serums.
Botox/Filler: By the time I’m in my late 40’s/early 50’s…this will be on my list. I know several women who have gotten botox. If done properly (and by a skilled professional), it can look great (a FAR cry from the likes of Joan Rivers).
Breast life/tummy tuck/lipo etc.: I’ve already told my husband that if/when we have kids, I plan on getting the complete “mommy package” afterwards. Whatever it needed to get my body back to pre-birth shape. LOL…breast list is on my list even if I never have kids! When it comes to those puppies…no amount of “care” is going to prevent them from going south.
Hair: Heck yea! I have very thin hair thanks to my mom. I shudder to think what my hair will look like when I’m 60 without medical intervention.
Personally I would never get any plastic surgery or any alterations done. In extreme cases, you end up looking confused for your age. What's wrong with aging naturally? Surely it is a natural process. I feel that the underlying cause for it is insecurity and low confidence. Natural remedies would be sufficient enough for me.
Thank God I don't live in Iran or Lebanon (or Pakistan even), where it is indeed getting increasingly 'common and acceptable' to screw your face. As with me, apart from my ideological opposition, I don't think I have the face or features to pull a frozen, swollen or surprised look that you get from having botox. That's not my definition of 'youth'.
How many of those train-wrecks do you have to see before you realize they haven’t ironed out all the kinks yet. Just wait it out, just let them figure it out first. I can spot the mess from a block away, with their faces yanked back, all shiny, perpetually awestruck. And when they finally have it right, sure you ladies knock yourselves out, why not? Mutate to your heart’s content, until you look nothing like yourself anymore. I mean, isn’t makeup a big enough deception already?
Exhibit A:
About liposuction. I only recently heard about the fat acceptance movement. What? Not only have they given up on trying to stop stuffing their faces, now they also want you to tell them that they are beautiful just the way they are. They will keep flocking to the cheesecake factory with their enormous grotesque bodies, their faces mushed against the window, drooling over cakes, finding ways to get fatter than they already are and then demand to be acknowledged for their “beauty” at the end of the day. Others just blame their genetics “Oh I barely eat anything”. Yeah right. You must have found a way to defy the laws of physics. I say make liposuction free for anyone who can’t see their toes. Who wants to make some soap?
Exhibit B:
What’s disturbing is the number of men who are going under the knife. Somewhere along the way, men lost the plot. Men aren’t supposed to be beautiful snowflakes, with smooth skin and cute button noses. Just look at the successful men in any of the learned professions, and how perfectly hideous they are. Ugly men are what make the world tick, the prime movers if you will. I wonder why no hot woman falls in love with a handsome roofer. I wonder how a hot Brazilian model falls in love with a midget billionaire, who is 46 years older than her (cough Bernie Ecclestone cough).
I would want to grow old gracefully. Old ladies with wrinkles look nice.
hair replacement and liposucktion is okay if it boosts your confidence. But then everything is okay from changing ur whole face to an artificial one if it serves u good.
I think Nose Test is the ultimate test to know if you need nose or breast job, its fun and highly recommendable to test your girlfriends. Urban Dictionary: Nose Test
