Default Cosmetic Surgery

: Sure, it's a vanity thing but I'll admit to having my nose "fixed" when I was 16 or 17 years old. Now when I look in the mirror I wonder if my life would be any different if I had a teeny-weeny little facelift. At my age, I dunno :dontknow:

Has anyone had any nip-tucks done locally? Would you consider it? C'mon.... 'fess up

I don't have anything to fess up! No nips, no tucks, no lifts, no fake bits (sp.?).... Au natural is what ya get here! Every bump, lump, sag and wrinkle is testament to a life well lived, and my hub agrees. We love me just as I am! There are risks to every procedure and I'm not taking any! My personal opinion only!

I had a breast reduction 3 yrs. ago. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. I had backaches everyday, some so bad that they went up my neck and I had headaches as well. Haven't had a backache since!

No nips and tucks yet. Obviously! But I'm not opposed to it. I have to admit to being too afraid of surgery. I'm a free spirit. If it feels good, do it! I have to admit the Botox plastic faces turn me off though. Don't know why people think they look good when they can't smile. Smiling lights up a room and lightens the heart.

When I was gloomy, my mother used to say "Don't frown, you never know who's falling in love with your smile." I used to love that. ;D

I worked too hard to get to this age to try to hide it. So, no plastic surgery for me. I had considered lipo at one time -- 99 lbs and a paunch just didn't make sense. Since then, I've decided I'm stuck with my gut, especially since the stomach muscles have been seriously cut into and no amount of lipo is gonna help that, anyway.

Chels,

I just love that quote from your mom. I think I will probably always remember it too!

Im with ya on the cosmetic surgery. Would love some but scared to death. The older I get the more I dont want any procedures on my body. Dont want doctors poking & prodding at anything. Just leave me the heck alone!!!!!

But, If a little tuck or lift makes a person feel better and have more confidence in themselves , I feel its well worth it. Just have to get up some nerve here. If you do it Ill do it! LOL
Kinda like girls having to go to the bathroom together in public hu? Whats up with that?LOL

I have very heavy eyelids and I will eventually get those nipped. I recently saw my eye doctor and he said I was borderline for what the insurance companies consider a necessary medical procedure. He expects I will "need" the surgery in a couple of years.

That will be my only nip..the rest of me is what and who I am...take it or leave it.

I'd love to have a cute little tush again, but a nip and a tuck wouldn't do it. I'd need to have the big earth movers come in! But maybe my spider veins will disappear one day with a little help.

Chels, I love what your Mom said, I will remember that.

AL, I also would love to have my fallen butt up where it belongs, but fear will stop me I am sure. My face could surely use some work, but that scares me more than my fallen butt issue. I did try Obagi, and I really think it helped the look of my skin---that is after I stopped looking like a peeling freak.

See you all in August,
scaredy cat blondie

A few years ago, I watched on television an actual face lift being performed. That's all it took for me. I'll pass. OUCH!
