Breast Implants and plastic Surgery-Why?!?

It's supposed to allow you to be liberated and do what you want. I think that's why she didn't say ALL hippies.

 

I am sad that your parents feel that way- many parents mean the best but prohibit their children in many ways they have yet to realize...Good luck w/ your education...I understand that they feel like since they are successful-u would b without the school- but no matter what- it's like I said b4 - It's always up to u (vinceneilsgirl) and it always has been...So if anyone is deterring u from anything- esp if it is about your knowledge,growth,awareness trying to create a better life- then - keep on doing what u do-inspite of-
I know we just got off this subject but let me tell u something about my 'rents...they desired the schooling,university,degree- but after while of being there and feeling it was not for me - I dropped out..Yeah, I am a college dropout- but so what...I desire to go back- not just right now...I will soon though and no matter what degree or not I will become something my parents can brag about- and so will u...We all have to follow our inner voice.And your parents I hope will be proud..I have a feeling they are - now.

And - good 4 u - u did not get breast implants!!!I realize u needed the surgery because of an accident and if I were in your shoes-I can not tell what I would have done...because u did not get it out of superficiality- or "just to" like many others...that is good -it was for a purpose and that is what they (the plastic/reconstructive surgeons) originally intended it for...So well done-but u do not need my approval...

 

To the original topic: If someone wants plastic surgery for whatever reason, more power to them. BUT, I abhor these "reality" shows that glorify it. They tell women that they are ugly ducklings that NEED to be transformed. And that will make all their troubles go away. Ha!! Where will FOX be when in 5 yrs the women's new boobs start to deflate and they need a touch up?

 

u def. have a point sugrmag- Actually Fox will have a reality show on taking them out...lol- I mean these people are beautiful inside and out -but the mass media ie- Fox- or Nip/tuck show false ideas and just plain lies!!

 

Michael,

That's what is cool- u loved your wife for her- That says something- Yeah sometimes when all people do is look at that one moment -they can regret the decision they made when it comes to the bigger picture...I would think that would hurt like hell-to have them removed-
And I'll tell you enhanced- boobed stippers usually do not make anymore than the natrual girls- in fact it is a bigger statement when u use what u have natrually and accept that -it shows confidence and esteem and natrual beauty...something men can really like.

 

Thanks LW. You're a sweetie.

 

You are very welcome- I try to be mostly- the thing is with this post no matter how many go towards against/for-I hope no one's feelings get stepped on- I mean-controversial subject and debate is one thing but- creating bad vibes is another...

 

I would get plastic surgery thats only if i looked like barbra streisand...

I think that cosmetic sergery (not reconstructive, I think it is a given that this is a good thing,) is wrong. People should want NOT to change the way that they look. We are so used to these supposedly perfect looking people, that natural beauty is becoming less and less appealing.

 

Lunar, I think u meant people should not want to change the way they look w/ cosmetic surgery-right?

 

lol, yeah, I did mean NOT change... thanks!

 

People also dont realize the stigma that comes along with plastic surgery now. My doctor wants me to get breast surgery because im having back problems now, and i just really dont like the idea of augmentation simply because im really against this cosmetic surgery just for fun, the plastic surgery fad going on now. I mean, mines nothing crucial and theres no garuntee it will even help my back problems, so i dont need it. But i just cant go through with the idea of breast augmentation because of the fad thing. I think its disgusting, the human body is a beautiful thing and the individual differences/uniqueness of everyone's bodies makes them beautiful- dont change a thing. (unless nessicary, obviously)

 

It's kinda trippy to see a 15 yea old writing this. I am 31 years old. I had breast implants put in when I was 26. God how I wish I never done it!! I was convinced that once I got them, my esteem would fly thru the roof!! Boy was I wrong. I felt exactly the same afterwards as I did before. Even though my physical apperance changed, my insides where still the same!! Anyone who thinks that plastic surgery will change your self-image- work on your insides first!! If you still think you want to do it after you've worked on your insides, then & only then do I say "Go for it!".

 

Kimber,

That is really gutsy of u to admit having implants and how u feel 5 yrs after having them..Not everyone can be as honest w/ themselves and others so openly... Thank you for sharing that w/ all of us- and best of luck to u with or without your implants...Are u thinking of getting them removed?

I have most definately been wanting to remove them!! The problem........it's more expensive to take them out & then have them cut off the extra flabby skin that comes with stretching the skin out then it was to put the implants in!! Don't get me wrong, eventually it will be done. It's just if I had the money today, I would be scheduling the appointment already!!Oh well, live & learn. But that is also a good reason to share my short little story even though I know that if a girl is set on doing it, it's hard to change her mind!! Like I wanted implants for years before I had the money to do it!! Noone could have talked me out of it! Sometimes you have to experioence things for yourself no matter who is telling you!

 

Well Kimber,

U are older and wiser- we gain by the experience-Have u knowingly convinced any girls/women to not get implants after talking with you about your experience with them?How do they feel when u are on your monthly cycle? Do they feel any more different than natrual breasts or more weighty?
Best of luck to u on the planned removal! (Smiles)

 

Wow! I am odd duck out! I had breast implant surgery 4yrs ago. went from niples to a comfy c cup. You see I was 5'8 and 95 lbs. I was always being accused of being anorexic (which I am NOT) and I was tired of that. I was tired of not being porportioned correctly. Btw, I was a stripper with my natural breasts and only danced once w/the new ones, self esteem is not my problem. I was just tired of not stacking up evenly. I was beautiful before and just as beautiful after. My boobs don't look fake, they just fit my body, you would never know I had it done. I did not do it for anyone but myself, not even for society. I am an organic girl, even with body care products, I don't wear make-up, my hair is long and natural and I certainly dress hippy style. yeah I don't like that fake look, but in my case I look natural as can be. I agree those shows do suck w/their message, but don't harsh on girls like me. Be kind family.....

 

I once thought about having breast implants. I'm very small chested for my age and proportion but I've realised that I dont need bigger boobs to be happy. I'm happy with what I've got already. Sometimes I feel a bit insecure about my appearance, but I try not to worry too much about it, cos after all it's just an image, what I am it's inside and i'm more concerned with what's going on inside me, like my thoughts, feelings and personality because that's what makes you human...Part of this society has made women become too self consciens, trying to achieve a look that it's said to be @perfect@ but my question is "who says something is perfect"...for me beauty is in the eye of the beholder, no one can say big boobs or a facelift or reduction etc will make you look prettier, perhaps it will increase self esteem in people who really have a psycological problem with their bodies and the way they look really affect their lives.
In my opinion, you find beauty in what's natural. Sure big boobs look nice to the lads, but it doesnt go beyond that.
but if anyone is up for it, i'm not one to judge.

 

I don't want to say that anyone is wrong here. I am honestly glad that those who have had plastic surgery are happy with it. My personal opinion is that it is not good to do. We should love the bodies that we have, not change them. We should love how we naturally look, no matter what that is, or what other people think or say. Our bodies are beautiful, they don't need improvement!

Unless it is truely in hibiting one's health, or is recunstructive, I just don't see a good reason for someone to do it, especially a hippie.

I feel the same way about make up, just not as strongly.

 

You know, I'd love to have smaller breasts. Mine are pretty big, and it is hard to dress to look good, and not look like a slut. I think having really little breasts woold be terrific! Though, I am happy with the way I look, and I wouldn't change a thing. I want to be happy with myself, I want to love myself for who I am, and for how I actually look.
