To dyingyoung

I have read parts of your post and it is very redundant and way too lengthy for anyone to even get through it but I have to say that I wholeheartedly disagree with you.  I have saline-filled implants and have had no problems whatsoever.  It is very much a personal choice.  I do have reservations about the silicone implants and will probably never have those, but it is still the woman's choice.  I have typed medical reports on a daily basis, many of them cosmetic procedures, and have done so for the last 15 years and just once have I typed a problem with an implant - that being the silicone and it ruptured.  Other than that, minor little things that were easily fixed.  As far as worrying about results years down the line - I simply don't!  Why worry over something you don't know about?  I just have one life and I'm going to live it to the fullest extent possible.  I am very sorry for your trouble with implants though and think it is a very unfortunate thing.  I wish you well.

How Plastic Surgery Has Changed My Life

Quote From: cleareyes

Hi there once again.  Well, I had gone through a lot of, shall we say "healing" on the inside and I felt so good about myself that I just wanted to make the outside match how I felt on the inside.  I always felt woman enough - there was never a problem with that.  No woman ever needs cosmetic surgery with the exception of reconstructive surgery after breast cancer or something of that nature.  The only problem I have with cosmetic surgery is when they do it for somebody other than themselves.  I had all my surgeries for myself, not for my husband or anyone else.  They were strictly to make me look like I felt already on the inside.  I don't know if that makes sense or not.  And, yes, I do feel much more womanly now and it flows into all areas of my life, not just intimacy.  Thanks for your input Mikao!

I'm very much convinced that you dit it for a good and positive reason. I  have total respect for that. I like how you say that you want to feel on the outside as you already did on the inside. I am certainly no expert on this but I think it is impossible to do it for a better reason than this one. Great work! I hope you enjoy the new you!!

Cosmetic Surgery

I had upper and lower eyelid surgery for the simple reason I was so sick and tired of people saying to me "oh, you look so tired, didn't  you get any sleep."  My 38 year old stepdaughter was the last person to say it to me and that was the final straw.  

   

I booked myself in and had it done and have been very happy with result.  Only 4 people know about it and not even my step daughter has realised I have had it done.  Not sure if that is good or bad, LOL, but I do look so much better and it has given me a younger look.  At least no one has said how tired i look anymore, lol.  

   

I would contemplate having my saggy neck done but only because I want to do it, not for anyone else.  Having the amounts that some in hollywood have is not for me.  I want the least invasive surgery possible and with the great strides forward in cosmetic surgery these days, there are many things such as 'threads' which can be used instead of going under the knifet.  

   

I am currently investigating having this done ...is there anyone out there who has had their jowels and neck lifted this way??

I'm sorry I ever had plastic surgery

I used to be a cute little lady with a cute little bust.I had 5 children and nursed everyone of them.No problem there! I had enough milk for the dairy.Then one day out of the blue,my husband said,"damn,you're flat as a pancake"! My second husband said" I like big boobed women and look what I got".My third husband said,"you're body is just as nice as Mary Graces,except she had nice big boobs"!Ok,so I am stupid,at least I was.I went and got the big boobs all my so called men wanted.You won't believe what I heard after that."I thought they were kinda cute the way they were"!GRRRRRRRRRRR! My response to the second jerk was,well,I like a man with a big package,and look what I got!.He has since apologized by the way.I have stopped trying to please anybody but me.God made me the way I was and I was perfectly ok with that.Me and Victorias Secret had a special relationship.I am going to have these toxic things removed from my god given body very very soon,and NO,I am NOT going to put anything else foreign in my body to replace it.I will live the rest of my life ,a happy healthy woman.So what if my breasts aren't plastic or silicon or whatever they put in them now.This was 21 years ago for me.I have learned one thing for sure.NEVER ,NEVER CHANGE THE SKIN GOD PUT YOU IN! When the scientists challenged GOD to show HIM that they could make a man,that they don't need GOD anymore,GOD accepted the challenge.The scientists were excited and reached down to scoop up some dirt and GOD told them simply,"huh uh", get your own dirt".So quit trying to make yourself look "better".We are perfect in every way.After all we are already wearing designer skin.Enjoy it,while you're here,and focus on what's real.

I want plastic surgery because....

I am a graduate student after a 12 year absence.  My husband retired from the military and it is now MY TURN to have MY CAREER.  This is a milestone for me.  I love my family and appreciate the fruit God has blessed me with.  However, God hasn't put me all back together again.  I'd like a tummy tuck, Dr. Phil, to get back the tummy I once had. It was never flat to begin with, just MUCH FLATTER than it is now.  If God has sent you to me, Dr. Phil, then I pray for wisdom and discernment for you as you help me achieve this, the ultimate milestone for me.  Bless you!!!!!

not are boob jobs are bad

I just wanted to let people know that not all breast implants are evil. I'm 15 and have Poland's syndrome. Google to see details of it. Luckily, my hands are fine, and I'm only missing my right pec muscle and the breast tissue. but because of this, I never developed a right breast the matched the left (which is unaffected by Poland's) so over the course of 4 years, I developed into a D on the left and not even half an A on the right.

About 5 weeks ago, I had reconstructive surgery to create a right breast. Now, for the first time in my life, I have two breasts. Granted, the right is a B, but still, its better then nothing.  In November, I'm having a second to reduce the left. But in the end, I'll look normal. I wont have to worry about if my shirt is too low and the prosthetic is showing, or if my bra slid so the right side was a lot lower then the left. But by January, Ill be able to wear whatever I want. And I'm glad I had my procedure done.

After all these years of lies, and hiding, I don't have to worry. In school I couldn't do swimming, claiming I was allergic to chlorine. I had to sleep with a bra on at peoples houses if they didn't know about it. I'm lying to people now about why I'm having surgery, telling them its my shoulder (only 4 friends and my family know the truth). I'll be able to buy something other then sports bras, they were the only thing that was strong enough to support the prosthetic. I just wanted to tell people that, though most cases of plastic surgery, in my opinion, are not totally needed, when they are warranted, they can positively affect a persons life. I feel like I'm getting a chance  to start over and really be who I am. Without the lies.

Surgery for health reasons

I had plastic surgery for a breast reduction.  I was so huge that I had neck pain and back pains and headaches.  I could not find a bra that fit correctly and that didnt cause indents in my shoulders.  I couldn't find clothes that fit right because there was an 11" difference between my bust and my waist.  I feel that plastic surgery is a wonderful tool for people who are having health issues.  People take medication every day for health reasons, so what is the difference?  I am a healthier person now because I can work out, and mentally it has done wonders for me.  I was picked on for years and years about having large breast, and it was awful.  If it makes you feel better, GO FOR IT~

that's good because lies can really, really cause a lot of hurt and pain in your immediate social commmunity of friendship networks. We all need to be honest, all the time, it is as Thommas Immanuel Jefferson said, "Once more unto the truth dear friends! For better it be to tell truth always and to all, and ne'er sin against the immaculate homunculus of truth. For if even a murderer should ask you the way, 'tis better to direct Him onwards than he should starve. Honesty is the highest of all concieveable virtures and the sooner this is recognised the better. My wife had an eyebrow tuck.
