Plastic Surgery and it’s effects

gentleshores

Very anti cosmetic surgery here. Done by people with too much money and not enough sense! Is social media partly to blame?

Yes, I think it is partially to blame, but I blame greedy plastic surgeons more!!

Anyone on here ever seen the TV programme “Botched?”

Honestly, check this out!

Sad and tragic!

Thanks for starting this cossy.
I think it is generally terrible. I would go further and say that I think some of the medical professionals involved should be prosecuted.

Yes I agree.

I am absolutely not against plastic surgery per-say, there are times when it’s essential and in cases where perhaps very large noses and huge bosoms are causing issues surgery is a great answer, but those awful trout lips, Brazilian butt lips and huge breast implants are frankly horrific!

To be avoided and that includes any fillers. These cosmetic procedures are very addictive and before long it goes from just enhancers to more and more plastic surgery. A female in my extended family is just over 50 and now has a face that looks like a plastic puppet and boobs to match. Looks awful

I do agree with M0nica and other posters; I don't understand why young girls have to do this to themselves, when they are all so lovely and look amazing anyway. I don't know where the pressure is coming from. Very plumped up lips and frozen foreheads are very off putting.
I try not to watch anything about Katie Price, I feel there is something deeply disturbing there.
I have no problem with women who spend their own money on procedures to help them live their lives as they wish, hence I will defend CV and her choices, I agree there are some more famous women who have gone too far, but again it is their choice.
I love those women who just look after themselves, enjoy their lives, and age as the rest of us in society do

Not something I’d want, or have ever wanted.
It’s worrying when women, especially older women feel so judged that they need to have surgery in order not to be passed over for jobs, rôles or promotion.
They possibly feel they’ll be judged one way or the other, so they go for something that makes them feel better.
If it would improve their self esteem, then why not?

I can understand someone who has huge nose, or some really difficult facial problem having plastic surgery - and the dividing line between aesthetic and remedial plastic surgery can b e grey and fuzzy at times

Other than that I see plastic surgery as being self-mutilation. Look at Katie Price. her response to every setback in her life is - plastic surgery -, I have lost count of how many boob jobs she has had, plus all the rest. It is clear that her plastic surgery has nothing to do with quietly enhancing her looks but some visceral need for self -harm, with someone else doing the damage for you.

The same applies to that group of girls, and it is only a small group, who from a young age are having fillers and botox and other treatments. With all of them, the before is better than the after.

I am not saying that we shouldn't look after ourselves, titivate a bit, but physically changing your body strikes me as deeply unsettling.

Depends on the older person and how they look, also it can be done in a natural looking way, less is more.

I don’t even think it’s good on older people we should be proud of what our faces and bodies show it’s our history, it’s us, why smooth it all out and make it all disappear and become a ironed unnatural version of out real selves
It’s vanity it’s unnatural and in young people it’s a total shame

Agreed Galaxy. DO NO HARM.

I agree with BlueBelle
For older women it can make a difference in a good way, I do know someone who has regular botox and fillers and she looks great, I don’t have the money for it, but if done well can be amazing.

Just been discussin this with our teenage grand-daughter and so glad she agrees it is just awful and that she would never consider it. She is lucky however to be a stunning young woman.

I m strong on this I don’t ever think it’s right
Katie Prices face is frightening and her bosoms have a life of their own
I keep seeing beautiful young girls on TV with huge lips that look so awful and so unappealing
Going further, look at the women usually young who have either lost their lives or needed NHS urgent treatment after going abroad or to unqualified practitioners
I think it’s huge vanity
