Would you get plastic surgery?

    Read an article recently about botox injections becoming popular for men.

    Personally I had a visible cyst removed. Was completely benign so I consider it cosmetic rather than medical. No real difference to getting a nosejob.

    Some people are born with advantage by how they look, good looking/tall etc people earn more, live longer and have higher levels of happiness, so can see why less fortunate people want to even things up a bit

    I consider having cysts removed, moles removed, laser hair removal etc as more cosmetic surgery than Plastic Surgery which I'd reserve for nose jobs, facelifts, penis enlargements etc.

    I would have a few cosmetic procedures I'm sure, probably later in life but I don't think I'd get plastic surgery

    I've considered a penis reduction :rolleyes:


    Someones bound to say it so I thought I'd get it out of the way.

    Nah, i consider myself lucky though as i don't have anything i would consider to be disfiguring beyond my genetic ugliness...which i am cool with as it gives me character. lol

    If i woke up in the morning and suddenly had something growing out of my face i'd have it dealt with...but botox, peck implants, lipo etc....not for me.

    Another of one of life's questions on which I defer to Homer Simpson:

    would depend on a reason for getting it done and benifits of receiving it. if i was involved in an accident or something and came out in a bad way, i may consider it.

    At the moment, no need.

    Nah, people who have plastic surgery don't look any better - they just like people who have had plastic surgery.

    That would be my current thinking. However, I am having difficulty distinguishing between say removing some mole/cyst, and getting botox to look younger. So maybe if I'm ever concerned about looking old that attitude could change.

    Pec/lipo, not a hope, never. Though my reasoning would be that I could get the effects naturally from the gym, or pseudo-naturally - gym + juice!

    I have a fairly large scar down my jawline that I'd consider doing something about. Dont really see any problem with people getting plastic surgery.

    I have lost nearly 7st over the last two years through dieting etc, I now have a skirt of skin/fat around my waist,now matter how much exercise or diets or training it wont move,The only option I have been told is to get it surgically removed,Dont look forward to that but will have to get it done.

    Fair play, do it, nothing to lose!

    Yeah I often thought about this one. I probably wouldn't get any 'vanity' stuff done, but yeah if I had a scar or whatever I would get that sorted maybe. Then again, maybe not. I dunno.

    From what I see, plastic surgery doesn;t make you look younger, it makes you look like you had plastic surgery.
    it?

    Always had a bit of a boxer's face and nosee, without ever having boxed in my life. My nose looks broken in two places even though it's never been. Probably get that done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Sky King


    Or you could become a boxer.

    The problem lies in the consequences, if there were none then Botox wouldn't at all controversial.

    I wouldn't like the face hanging off me in ten years time, that's for sure.

    Plastic surgery is used for reconstructive treatments in order to correct any defects and injuries. We can know that plastic surgery has offered relief to many people who wanted to make themselves beautiful and attractive.

    Now people who do not have a good nose need not worry. The advancement in the plastic surgery methods helps to give a attractive look and feel comfortable. It is better to make use of the service provided by experts.
