I can imagine.

No, never. Unless I have an accident.

It kinda makes me sick to see American and European people being so focused (and spending that much money) on their appearance lately. We really need to put things into perspective.

I would love to have good eyes though. But that's because being nearly blind is really bothering at times.

ab fab works too.

i'm not against plastic surgery at all. i'm against it for ME, but i love people like cher and dolly parton who have no qualms about saying they're about 85% plastic and proud of it. plastic surgery isn't a whole lot different than getting pierced or tattooed, as far as i'm concerned. it's body modification. i think the body is the best toy we're ever given in our lives and we should play with it just as much as we take care of it.

if getting bigger boobs or a rounder butt or a smaller nose makes someone feel more like who they want to be, they should go for it.

I'd like to get rid of my man boobs. I've had them since high school, even when I was running track and was in incredible shape. Sad.

purrrrr

give me something to fondle, hun.

I did. I had a breast reduction. For medical AND estatic reasons. Never regretted it

Would like another one but I am too scared

will it be covered by medical insurance again - have you spoken to your doctor about it? You should do it if you really need it again for the sake of your back.

I'd have my teeth done... there's a lot I don't like about my appearance but it IS me, so that's all there is to it. my teeth, though, I'd have done in a heartbeat if I could

stomach and face lipo...nothing big...

the funny thing though is once you do it you have to maintain the weight lose because the fat does come back...just in different places...like right now, i am working out like a dog to lose the weight i gained during the election cycle...which i guess is a good thing cause i could never let myself go for a long period of time...

sosgemini said:

Were you sore afterwards? How long did it take....the procedure and recovery? I don't really know a whole lot about lipo.

Who was your doctor?

AnckSuNamun said:

the two times the pain was excrutiating were 1) during the ride home...the movement of the car killed my face and 2) waking up the next morning and moving to fast and feeling the skin peel off of my flesh as it had already started to attemp to heal...

the procedure was fast...like one hour...and while i was supposed to stay after for two hours the doctor felt i was okay to leave after one hour of wait time. it took me about five weeks to complelety heal but i was back at work after three days.

Dr. Eric T Hisaka, friendly and affordable.

sosgemini said:

5 weeks ouch Were people at work being nosey? I guess kinda like how I am being right now Or they pretty much knew?

AnckSuNamun said:

everybody knew...i had and have no shame about doing the procedure so i was open from the start. but if you want to be discrete about it nobody would really know..well, except for when you get up from sitting for the first couple days...its a struggle...but with clothes on you really cant tell you've had the procedure...well, except for looking thinner.

sosgemini said:

Well, you feel better though, right.

AnckSuNamun said:

oh yes...like pook mentioned in the above post, most people dont notice the change...but i feel better about myself.

Hell no! No sharp cut things on me unless you paid me.

On a grave note, no. I just need to work out. I'll be straight. I got a little tiny tummy while at KSU.

Good God, no.

Sure, I've got my bits I'm not overly thrilled with, just like anybody else. But I'm pretty much okay with how I look. Having had (minor) necessary surgery before and going through the joys of the healing process, I just don't understand the mindset that sees undergoing invasive surgery for purely cosmetic reasons as a good idea. I wouldn't want to try to tell others what to do to their bodies (being as I'm pierced and inked in a variety of places) but it seems to me that in a lot of cases, therapy of some kind to improve a person's self-image would be more beneficial in the long run than surgery,

But if I'd been born with some deformity or was disfigured somehow it'd be different. But I'm cool with me as is.
