I'd do it in a heartbeat. Once you hit mid forties you consider a lot of things you may not have in the past. trust me on that one.

Depends on if it's corrective or aesthetic. I think you need a shrink before you consider the latter.


Aesthetic can also be corrective.

Honestly, it doesn't matter if it is corrective or aesthetic. If a person wants to have cosmetic surgery, that is his or her decision, one that should not be judged so harshly by those who may not feel the need to have cosmetic surgery.

Getting braces... that's cosmetic.
Getting teeth bleached... that's cosmetic.
Having your hair dyed... that's cosmetic.

Certainly these procedures don't involve going under the knife, but these cosmetic procedures are generally safe and contribute to the raising of the self-esteem of thousands of people.

If it makes you feel better about yourself, go for it.

almost all of the plastic surgeries have some risk of death


so does walking outside
so does eating
so does smoking

everything we do involves risk

noted, this is an increased risk, but a person has to consider his or her own health before having such procedures performed.

most surgeries are safe and do not result in death. high risk surgeries usually involve people with pre-existing medical conditions, such as hbp, obesity, etc.
if it was so risky and expensive almost every single person would get something fixed since nobody is completely perfect



that makes no sense. if it WASN'T risky and expensive... ???

not everyone wants it. not everyone can afford it.

my point is only that if someone has the money and the desire, go for it. life is too short to be unhappy. technology and medicine allow us to do things with the human body and mind we could have never imagined years ago. and, to a much more affordable, accessible and yes, safer, degree.


oops i forgot to add the wasnt
