Why? Boob jobs, Nose jobs. I need your feedback.

[riff]

I am sorting through some feelings here. So bear with me.

I have two pretty sisters. They are good-looking. And at times they are totally beautiful. One is 36 and the other is 27.

The older had a boob job a few years ago. She was not flat-chested before, and she did not get huge tittie with her operation. She got some nice slighty bigger than average boobs. After her operation, she showed them to me. They looked wonderful. Everybody likes a nice boob. I never thought she needed a boob job before (we shared a house in college so I had seen them and she had plenty of nice titties before). So anyway, she got her boob job.

Now my younger sister is coming to town to get a nose job. Her nose is far from ugly, but she does not like it (she is a pretty girl!).

Now something inside of me is feeling so sad! Please understand, this is my baby sister, I am 10 years older than her. I watched her grow up from a little baby to become the lovely woman that she is. I don't like seeing her change anything about her face. I love her nose!

She even said that when she went to see the surgeon, he told her "Why are you here? Your nose is beautiful. You do not need a nose job." He may have just been being kind, but he wasn't lying.

So now I have some questions.

1) Why do so many women (women who are already pretty) feel that they must go as far as surgical alteration to be happy/happier with their looks? Is there something lacking? I don't understand it.

2) Am I making too big of a deal about plastic surgery? Both of my sisters seem to approach this (at least on the outside) with only a little more seriousness than a change of hairstyle. Is cosmetic surgery only a more sophisticated kind of haircut? Are scissors just a more familiar type of scalpel.

(I'm so bad... at my family's christmas gathering I plan to make a comment as sometime about how good it is to be here at home with my two surgically altered sisters! Don't worry, we are all good natured and it will be a good joke)

Some women do it to enhance the beauty or make themselves feel good I would get a boob job but I would deflate what I have......I want smaller breast not bigger so It would depend on the woman and what she wants..


THE WIFE

I would get a nose job if I had the money but mine is slightly crooked thanks to a baseball and a mother who cared more about getting laid than spending time at the emergency room getting it set properly.

I agree with NSW some woman do it because they feel is will enhance what they have.

 

[jcgirl]

Its an attempt to mold themselves to look like what society in general percieves beauty to be.

I don't know why some women feel that they have to have surgery to better themselves. I have a friend that wears a D cup and she wants hers bigger. Makes no sense to me. I may not be 100% happy with my body but I was born with it so that is what I am suppose to look like. I am an all natural woman and plan to stay that way. I just hope the women who get it done are happy with the final results and not regret it later.

Personally, my measurements are 34B-22-36. I have high, perky breasts, an absolutely tiny waist, and (by comparison to my waist)an ass you could serve tea from. I want to get a boob job because I want to even out my proportions. I know I am a beautiful woman without C or D sized breasts, but I will feel better about how I want myself to look (for myself) with larger breasts. I'm still saving, though. It costs a little more than a change of hairstyle.

What a wonderful personality you have! I wouldn't change a thing.

Personally, I'd feel generic or fake if I had cosmetic surgery. I would rather make what I have the best it can be. But, at the same time I don't have a large nose, or such things.
I know that a lot of guys from this board SAY that looks don't really matter to them, yada yada--it's just not so for the majority of people out there.
First impressions are important and they are based on how a person looks. Be that for a job, a date, a friendship--most are more inclined to be around attractive people. Shallow, sure! true, I think so.
Even if your sisters are two of the most beautiful women in the world, they are going to be insecure about certain aspects of their physicality. Isn't everyone? Perhaps it is do to a small comment made back when they were 12-that sh*t sticks with ya. Yours sisters just have the monitary means to change what they see wrong with themselves.

I wish luck to your sister...some of those rhinoplastic surgeries turn out worse than the original nose. Yikes!

(1) Why do so many women (women who are already pretty) feel that they must go as far as surgical alteration to be happy/happier with their looks? Is there something lacking? I don't understand it.

A: I presume that many women who choose plastic surgery do so because they feel inadequate based upon societal standards, however, there are many women who choose to have procedures because they firmly believe that by doing so, they will feel better about themselves for themselves... and in my opinion there's nothing wrong with that.


2) Am I making too big of a deal about plastic surgery? Both of my sisters seem to approach this (at least on the outside) with only a little more seriousness than a change of hairstyle. Is cosmetic surgery only a more sophisticated kind of haircut? Are scissors just a more familiar type of scalpel.

A: making too big of a deal? Well that depends upon the procedure. I've heard a lot about the dangers of liposuction so my opinion is that it is a risky procedure that should not be taken lightly.

I would have work done. Sure. Why not? We have surgeons who have been professionally trained with technological advances to help us look younger, feel younger... which invariably improves a woman's perception about herself and how she feels others perceive her. What is wrong with that? I see nothing wrong with it as long as the person isn't relying solely upon the end result to miraculously transform their life. If the motivation is to simply improve one's own viewpoint of oneself, who are we to judge them in making whatever choices they do in order to acheive that end?

smiling, as long as you know they won't take it as a personal attack of their choice, then I would find the comment funny as hell

The whole idea of cosmetic surgery makes me shudder. Especially in light of all the problems some women have had with silicon implants. That stuff can be VERY dangerous to your health.

Now, should I get my dick lemgthened?

 

[Closet Desire]

One man's view...

I'd be lying if I said looks aren't important to me, but what I like doesn't have anything to do with ideal dimensions or shapes. I find the wonderfully varied array of female shapes most attractive and the quality that attracts me most is that of sensuality which, I think, is an inner quality and self assurance.

Not to cast offense on women who have chosen to have cosmetic surgery (it's their choice and none of my business), I personally find it unattractive. I had a one night stand with a stunningly gorgeous woman. Once in bed I discovered that she had implants. They felt and looked odd to me although they were not large. Frankly, it put me off a bit.

Large breasts, small breasts, no breasts...a woman is erotic if she is sensual and self aware. The same goes for anything else that can be changed...lips, hips, noses, whatever. I think there is someone out there for everyone.

Just my opinion...

 

[teresafannin]

I would never have any kind of plastic surgery, although at times I would love to be curvier. My aunt had implants & has all kinds of problems with them, so that kind of scared all of us. I have a friend who had breast reduction surgery a few years ago & it is the best thing she could have done. She looks & feels 10 years younger & many of her health problems are gone. I think many women have surgery for themselves, but I also know quite a few women who have had cosmetic surgery to please the men in their lives. Not me, he has to take me as I am or find someone else.

The entire cosmetic surgery industry is just irritating to me. Even though I would like to get my boobs lifted. Okay, so I can be vain too. It feeds of a popular culture that shows us women who are barbie dollish in proportion, a figure that is actually hazardous to one's health. Women are perceived as ugly by popular culture unless they are shaped like Cindy Crawford. I've heard women say that they're 28 now and therefore "too old."

Our image of our bodies is usually warped and not a true estimation of what we look like. We compare our bodies to other women, particularly pop icons we see on TV or in magazines on a daily basis. We think we must look like a Penthouse Pet to be sexy. Well girls, we don't. Men don't want that in a woman. Notice I said men, not boys. Some men take longer to grow up than others. I come as is. I'm not the kind of model you modify with aftermarket parts or new upholstery. The part of me that is attractive isn't my body or my boobs, it's what you see in my eyes, in my smile, in my sense of humor, in the way I grab your cock and make you, uhm... nevermind. The point is that all of me is what's attractive, not perfect boobs, butt, nose, all those easily seen because there is not fat or muscle between them and the skin.

If you aren't attracted to me as I am, then you never will be, my insecurities will always be there, whether I get my boobs lifted or not.
