Well it's horrible, young girls thinking they need cosmetic surgery already. The boob jobs are bad enough. Just be satisfied with what God gave you.What's worse is the parents and doctors who enable them. Disturbing.

Then again, a friend's daughter did it to fix her nose. She was gorgeous, except she had her father's schnoz, which would look good on a Hyrax or Elephant. Anyhow, after the fix she looked quite a bit better, even I admit.

I despise most cosmetic surgery, especially breast enhancement. Looks fake.

Cosmetic surgery is great if you have a real defect, like breasts that are greatly different in size, or like your friend's daughter, a very outsized nose. Or if you have a mastectomy and don't want to be flat chested or one sided and just don't want to wear falsies. But I agree completely breast enhancement looks fake. For normal women to get surgery just because they don't think they are big enough just blows my mind, I cannot understand why you'd undergo the risks. But the biggest thing is that it can affect breast feeding. Any woman who wants to have children and breastfeed should leave them alone. And very young girls do not know how they will feel about breastfeeding by the time they have a baby.

As someone who has had several major needed surgeries, I can't understand why anyone would go under the knife for cosmetic reasons.

I am someone in whom a minor surgery had a complication that turned into a catastrophe resulting in lifelong disability. I'm with you 100%.

Doc talked me into the colonoscopy at the appropriate time. Didn't want to do it (can't face Gatorade anymore), but did it anyway. My insides were so traumatized I couldn't eat much of anything for a week straight. Good for weight loss, that's for sure.

With everyone 100%. No such thing as minor surgery if you're gong under general anesthesia. A good thing to avoid if at all possible. Getting a MRSA infection in the hospital isn't even unlikely.

I don't even want to think about my next colonoscopy (next year) after it occurred to me they reuse that hose.
And MRSA, our neighbor got it and he wasn't even hospitalized. My friend had his leg amputated and he developed a MRSA infection in the stump. It was horrible. Of course his amputation wasn't elective cosmetic surgery...

Preferably real, natural boobs. But boobs are where it's at.

I asked the guy who did the colonoscopy if he would write a note to my wife to confirm hat he in fact didn't find my head in there.

Classic pinup - natural boobs. Kind of an original "hard body" matched with a pretty face and a photographer who knew her stuff (having been a model herself.) NSFW.

Anything more than a handful is a waste but then I'm a girl so what do I know?
Er - what is your,,, shall we say position on labiaplasty?
Frankly, I can't understand it at all. I'm a guy, who looks mostly like a troll that crawled out from under bridge underpass. I could get $900,000 in plastic surgery and still scare little kids. I still have no interest in changing how I look(unless a MD could give me another 7" where it counts) :-)
Tucking up the vag? I mean, unless one is a X rated model, and it gets a lot of screen time - just doesn't compute to me.

Like the male actors, the female actors also look like they've been with a personal trainer, at least four hours out of the day, on some macro biotic diet. How can teenage girls compete with these starlets? Who has four hours a day to be in the gym?

Frankly, I detest the supermodel look. I'll take a woman with some curves, who doesn't look like she starves herself, any day over the too-skinny supermodel look. The problem is convincing young women otherwise, when many of the people they may look up to have a body image that is unrealistic for the average person.

Body image has become a real problem for people, especially younger women.

I'm not convinced that is still true. It used to be, but I think society succeeded beyond expectations in convincing girls that fat is ok. Have you looked at a high school yearbook lately? I saw one recently and compared it to my 1968 yearbook. I would say the average body condition score has increased by at least 50% or more; especially among young women. Young women used to care about what they looked like. Now they are more interested in eating like boys.

That is just America's obesity problem showing. There needs to be a balance.

Looking at yearbook photos tells us little about body image issues, which are substantially a mental and social issue, not physical.

I'll go further, there is no such thing as minor surgery period. Complications (chiefly infection) are possible even from superficial procedures. And then there is refractive surgery... many years ago I had RK surgery to fix moderate myopia, and wound up with irregular astigmatism in my dominant eye. Luckily it is minor and can be corrected adequately, or I would never have passed the vision part of my 3rd class medical. Many other unlucky folks have fared worse.
I will probably need cataract surgery in the next few years - I'm still not sure how my old RK-weakened cornea will fare when that's done, and whether my post implant refraction will even be predictable.
IMO surgery is best undergone only when necessary for serious disease.

Agree. Body image issues are a problem.

Agree, even though I'm a straight girl I can appreciate female beauty, and the most beautiful to me are those who still have a little subcutaneous fat, but not way too much.
I think our food supply and our energy expenditure has gotten so out of balance that most people cannot maintain a healthy body weight unless they work on it too hard, and become either way too skinny, or too muscular. Back when we ate a whole lot more natural foods and less processed foods, and we walked more, did more housework, and did not have TV and computers to keep us glued to chairs all day, most of us, unless we had a "fat" gene (there were always those) maintained average weight throughout adulthood without having to consciously work at it. We had good muscles, but not over-developed, and we had the right amount of body fat, especially women, who store a certain amount for supporting childbearing. The fine layer just under the skin of the arms, legs, back, etc. actually is normally attractive. It's the huge abdominal pot, all up among the organs, that's abnormal and unhealthy.
It's rare these days to see just a naturally healthy body beyond teenage or young adult, and even they now are way too fat too soon. Everyone is either overweight, or they are exercise addicts with bone and muscle but no softness, or they starve themselves and are too skinny.
