I'm with DST Love on this. If I had been in some horrible accident and my face was seriously disfigured then that is something I would seriously consider. Other than that, I feel that God created me the way he wanted to and even though I don't like certain parts of my body it's something that I just have to live with. I find that when I like me from the inside, everything on the outside looks beautiful to me.
A lady that worked with me just started off getting her nose done. She said that's all she wanted. She ended up flying to Brazil to get WHOLE BODY REDONE!! It's like a tattoo...addictive!!!
I considered plastic surgery a few years back. But now I have come to believe having some one operate on you just because you don't like your nose or breasts is superficial. I was watching this program about Project Smile on television once and it really mad be feel terrible about the way I was thinking.
**For all of those who are not familiar with this program it is a bunch of doctors who volunteer to fly to 3rd world countries and repair the facial disfigurements of children that can't afford it otherwise.**
I saw kids that just sat in the corner because no one wanted to play with them because of the way they looked. I saw mothers giving up their babies because they weren't born perfect. People who are disfigured suffer a great deal and I feel that they are the ones who truly benefit from these types of operations.
But hey, we live in a superficial world where looks mean A LOT. Humans have always done whatever it takes to get the look that they want/that's in. Make-up, corsets, wigs, weaves, perms & relaxers, hair dye, lifts for your shoes, fake nails, padded bra's, colored contacts, and plastic surgery. I wouldn't be surprised of people started genially engineering their kids so they'd be "perfect". I know some of you saw the movie Gattica!
