I am a fan of reality TV shows and have seen so many different episodes where you see one of the cast of the shows having plastic surgery. For me, I think plastic surgery seems a little scary and something I wouldn’t want to have done unless necessary. I have seen where some surgeries have made a dramatic look for the good, but then I have heard and seen the horror stories on TV too.
For instance, I just seen Alexis Bellino from The Real Housewives Of Orange County just have surgery done to her nose on a recent episode I watched. Part of the surgery was health related, but she also had some work done to her nose to make it look different as well. With her situation, she had to have surgery to help a problem that was causing sinus infections which gave her an excuse to get some plastic surgery done to make her nose look cuter too! In her situation, I would have done the same thing.
So while I think there is no way that I will ever have plastic surgery, I may just one day change my mind. Maybe in 10 years I might want a breast lift and with the price of breast implants and lifts today (which seems so much affordable than it did 10 years ago), just might be something I want to consider later down the road. I have 4 kids so I know I will be a grandma one day and I know I will still care about my appearance.
Would you consider plastic surgery to better your appearance?
It’s interesting to consider plastic surgery as a male. Not too many dudes are going to admit that they are considering liposuction in order to get that summer beach body, but when you look at the numbers, plastic surgery for males is on the rise (I only know this because I work in the medical marketing industry).
You also brought up a good point about the motives behind cosmetic procedures, in Alexis Bellino’s case she wanted better form and function for her nose. Some procedures are done strictly for vanity, but many plastic surgeons are also experts in reconstructive surgery, which is quite the opposite of vanity in my opinion.
I would consider it, actually going through with it is another story 😉
The only thing I would ever consider is a breast reduction. If that’s even considered plastic surgery. I have too much, so much that I’m sure my back will hurt more and more as I get older. So, maybe after all the kiddo are grown and I’m finished breastfeeding….
