Plastic surgery

I don't understand the obsession with plastic surgery.  I think it looks unnatural and just phony.  I don't understand how you can raise a child to have a healthy amount of self confidence when you are their mother and you are changing your body.

Let me start by saying there is plenty about myself that I would love to change.  One that I will say is my nose.  I have always hated my nose.  I always longed for a little button nose that turns up just a teeny bit at the tip.  I was blessed with a beach ball like nose.  There is no actual tip to my nose, because it is a round ball.  The thing is, my daughter has my nose now too, she's 4.  Why would I ever change my nose and leave her to have a beach ball nose?  It's just wrong.

Breast implants are another thing that kills me.If you suffer from low self esteem, no amount of silicone is going to fix that. You will just change your self loathing to another part of your body.  Do you really think those boobs look remotely natural or real? Because they don't.  Now I am just talking about elective surgery, not reconstructive surgery.  They are two different animals.  I just don't understand why someone would want to put a foreign object in their body.  You know your body is made up to reject foreign objects? Like a foreign bag o' silicone... hello, have you know heard the nightmares of silicone leaking? Weren't they outlawed for years?  I don't know I don't keep up on implant headlines... but I think they were.   Those implants don't last forever either... you have to replace them... kind of like changing the oil in your car, I guess they should come with a service plan. 10 years or 100,000 miles?? Who knows.

I just wish people would learn how to accept themselves and the way that they are instead of thinking everything can be fixed the easy way.
