Do you think plastic surgery is okay? ?

Question

if i really hate the way my nose looks and i dont care about accepting myself for the way i look because i wont until i actually like the way i look. im considering rhinoplasty and lip enhancement when i turn 16 in summer 2009.

Answer 1

Nope I stay on that real status all day

Answer 2

no. plastic surgery have the consequences to your body. god give that to you he have the plans.  

Answer 3

It's okay, the problem is that it costs a lot of money. Rinoplasty is like $6000, plus another 3 grand for lip enhancement. I think 16 is pretty young for plastic surgery, you shouldn't be that concerned about that kind of stuff when you are so young...I think 18+ would be better.

Answer 4

... Well.

You shouldn't be like that!

Everyone's beautiful in their own way.

Don't think you're not.

If you're worried about high school kids "judging" you for it, ignore them! Chances are, they don't care if your nose is small, big, crooked, upside down, or inside out. They're spending too much time wondering how people think *they* look.

Well anyway, in this case, I wouldn't say it's a good idea.

No offense, but getting plastic surgery at your age would make some people uncomfortable. It's really not the smartest thing to do, so just wait and see how your nose looks as you grow up, and if it's really bad, and you hate it *that* much, good luck with your surgery.

It really gets to me how looks can affect people so much.

[It gets to me too, because I'm kinda sensitive as well, but learning not to be. You should learn not to be too.]

Answer 5

Don't you have to be 18? Maybe not but you have to have your parents consent.Don't go over board,I heard it can be addictive.Who is going to pay for all of this anyway??

Answer 6

Absolutely.

It's your body and you are able to do whatever you please with it.

You should really wait until you are 18, because first off, your body is still growing and that's really dangerous.

I'm 23 and planning on getting breast implants next winter.

Answer 7

i think its perfectly fine. thats what plastic surgery  is there for, to help you look better. i want to get a nose job to, but its around $6000.00

Answer 8

Are you kidding me?  You're still a kid, no teenager likes how they look!

I think its okay for some people who have been scared or something but not just because they don't like the way they look.

My advice...get over it and be happy with what god gave you!  Just be happy with what you have and be thankful that you don't have something like a cleft pallet.

Answer 9

Yeah, sure, if that's what you want to do. I wouldn't personally change myself, but it's your body, so it's your decision.

Answer 10

Sixteen is too young for either of those procedures.  Your face is still changing.  I grew into the nose that made me crazy when I was 16.

Answer 11

do whatcha gotta do.

but if other random people tell you its not that bad, don't waste time and money.

Answer 12

usually i'm a proponent for fixing something if it bothers you, since i myself did the same thing, but you could be a little too young in a sense that you might not consider it that big of a deal when you mature. you're at your peak of social sensitivity, being in high school and all, and these kinds of things will bother you the most. i'm not trying to make you seem like a little kid or anything, but i'd give it at least until you're 18.

and s***w lip enhancement, 9 times out of 10 girls who get it done had fine lips before.

Answer 13

Ok, I understand you don't like your nose, and you want to get a new one, but I would wait a bit. Sixteen is a bit young. I just hope you stop there, at the nose. Some girls (not saying you) keep on going. They don't like their b*****s, butt, stomach, lips, etc, and they just keep going under the knife. Don't be one of those girls.  

Answer 14

It really takes until about age 23-24 for a woman to not think she is ugly!  Every teen and young woman thinks they are hideous, even when they could be models.  It just comes with the age.

I don't necessarily disagree with plastic surgery I just think that a mature adult should be making the choice.  If you feel the same at 23, than go for it.

Answer 15

Within fairly small limits, yes. Don't overdo it. While visiting a friend undergoing treatment at a psychiatric hospital, I encountered a successful teacher who had rhinoplasty and completely lost it. She reverted to the emotional state of a  young child. Make sure that you are prepared for an outcome that doesn't fully conform to your mental image.

Answer 16

it doesn't matter what poeple think or say, you're gonna get answers from both sides. if it'll give you more comfidence and feel better about yourself, then go for it!

Answer 17

Wow! ur only 15!?? are your parents even ok with it?  i guess if ur face bothers you that much then you should go for it, id be way too scared!

Answer 18

apsalutly

Answer 19

if u really hate the way you look then go for it, but i would never do it because it is possible that  they will mess up and then you are screwed. also i think you are still a bit to young and maybe you should wait until ur a little older before making a big change like that.

Answer 20

I don't think surgery is completely wrong, if that's what it takes to make you like yourself, then I suppose that's what it takes. I think you really should wait until stuff stops moving around, your face at 16 is NOT your face at 20 or 25 or the rest of your long long life, not to mention your sense of self will develop more over the years. Surgery is surgery, it's not stopping in to buy a pair of shoes, there are risks, some that might cause you pain (well, it's going to hurt, but I mean in a more permanent sense), others that might disfigure you, they're small, but you need to know that surgery is serious business and you are taking risks and going to an extreme to be happy with your self image.  

Answer 21

i personally think you should wait till you get the old maby by then youll like the way you look and you should learn to take in all of your imperfections and realize that that is what makes you unique  heres a story

a dear was embarresed of his scrawny legs but adoored his huge think antlers one day when he was being chased by a tiger it was his scrawny legs that helped him outrun the tiger but the farther he got the closer he got to the woods in the woods his beautiful antlers got caught  in the vines and he was no longer able to run

so just remember that the way ppl see you is compltly different then the way ppl see you

Answer 22

if your parents are willing to let you then sure! i have the same problem i hate my nose! i cant do anything about it till im 18 tho :(

Answer 23

If you're comfortable with it, I say do it.  WHEN YOU'RE AN ADULT!!!

Answer 24

yes, plastic surgery is more than just OK.  it's great if you do it for yourself, not for someone else and if you keep realistic expectations.

Answer 25

wait 16 girl u r way too young for plastic surgery  

Answer 26

I don't understand why people always making a big deal of someone who gets plastic surgery. If it makes u look hott and makes you feel better about yourself, go for it!!

Answer 27

I think it is okay if it makes someone feel better. Don't get it until you stop growing though because you never know what will change. But I don't think it should be done if you are like a teenager orr if you are just getting it because someone told you to for like a job (ie. celebrity) or bf!

mine?

Answer 28

plastic parts are made for toys...lol

but really, there are so many problems and risks with plastic surgery, like my cousin got a nose job, and they screwed up, and her nose is all crooked, and there are big risks going under anesthesia...so

and religious or not, you should be thankful for what you have rather than changing it. and if you still arent persuaded, at least wait until you are a bit older until making a big decision like that. im the same age as you, and i would NEVER get plastic surgery, and i consider myself to be about average on the scale of attractiveness...yeah i could be prettier, but i would miss how i looked before.

Answer 29

it's fine.

Answer 30

i dont think it is a good idea

accept the way you are

god made you that way

Answer 31

Plastic surgery used for reconstructive purposes is okay. Like if your face gets smashed up in a car accident or something or if you have some birth defect that prevents you from breathing properly or some other similar reason.

Plastic surgery to change the way you look 'cause you simply dont like it is based in vanity and as such is not ok.

Its little 'defects' in a person that makes them endearing. Changing them through plastic surgery makes you more of a plastic barbie doll type.

Not only that, its addictive too. Who's to say that after you get your first surgery that you wont find some other minor 'flaw' and continue getting further surgeries?
