Plastic Surgery Part II

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.
