In my last post I discussed plastic surgery as it
pertains to the NPC. Today I want to discuss this topic as it pertains to the
everyday woman. Remember, these are just my opinions. I don't claim to be an
expert by any means on this topic.
Lets first discuss who I think make the best
candidates for plastic surgery.
The best candidates are those women who, for the most
part, are self- confident. This would be someone who doesn't constantly look at
herself in the mirror and complain about everything she sees. There will
usually be one or two things she would love to change if given the opportunity.
That’s just normal. The person who should rethink surgery is just the
opposite. She will have low
self-esteem. Low self-esteem will not be cured with surgery. She will have to
continue to have procedures done and will never meet her own expectations or be
satisfied.
Another good candidate would be someone who just
wants what she wants. She may know she doesn't "have" to have it, but
she wants it anyway. Of course, the above statement regarding self- confidence
would apply here as well. She won’t have surgery because her spouse or
boyfriend wants her to have it. This is a mistake. I would never have surgery
to "please" someone else, not even my spouse. I may meet a little
opposition to this statement, but its true. If your man is pushing you to have
surgery and doesn't love you for who you are, then you have bigger problems
than you think. Let's face it; There is always someone out there prettier,
skinnier, sexier, and so forth.... even after surgery. So you better make sure
you are doing it for you.
Women vs. Women- It is and will always be
the case, that women will be other women's biggest opposition to plastic
surgery. We love to look at a girl with nice enhancements and ask
sarcastically; YA THINK THOSE ARE REAL? BET SHE PAID SOME GOOD MONEY FOR
THOSE! I could go on and on. But let's
be honest, it's because we are a little jealous.... or in some cases a lot
jealous.
But come on, if you are going to have surgery, don't
lie about it. You don't have to post it on facebook, but if someone has the
balls to ask, either tell them it’s none of their business or fess up. You look
like a fool when you deny the obvious. Case and point, true story... I was at
the pool at SFA this past summer and myself and two other ladies were looking
and admiring how cute this young woman looked in the pool. She was almost 9
months pregnant. The next thing I hear is a lady looking at me saying,
"That's my daughter and they are real". What? I thought as she
continued around the lazy river. Before she made it back around, we quickly
realized she thought we were looking at her other daughter who was truly
"blessed by God" if they were real. Calling bullshit on that one (in
my head of course), I caught her on the way back around and told her it was not
that daughter we were looking at but rather her pregnant daughter. She chilled
out after that, but my point is, I didn't care if they were real or not.... but
I’m not an idiot either. Nevertheless they looked great!
Be subtle about it - I want to be the one
where people go; Are they or aren't they? HMM! Not sure. Or the one where when
they do realize they think...wow that's obvious, yet they have been around me
for a couple of months before noticing.... yeah really obvious huh?
Men- Someone wanted me to give the
man's perspective on this. UH Seriously? This will be easy. YES AND YES. If
they say they are not a boob man then you get a boob job, I am betting they
become a boob man. LOL Not much else to say about that.
In the end, it's your body and your decision. As for
me...Well, let's just say, my pictures won't lie and I won’t either.
