Plastic surgery?

#1 (**permalink**) 10-16-2006, 05:10 PM

Will you ever consider plastic surgery? Have you ever had it?

What kind?

I think in the future I would consider liposuction and face lift.

I have had liposuction. Actually I am booked in next week the 26th for my fourth liposuction operation. I have been having it for a medical condition not for beauty purposes. To be honest people ask me about it and I tell them I really dont know why someone would put themself's through so much pain just for looks. The pain is bad. It really knocks me around. Sometimes depending on how much they take, it takes me months to get over. But it does work.

That's what I always worried about. I usually have a high pain tolerance, but thinking about it makes me cringe.

Do they hook you up with pain medicine the whole way through? Can you see any kind of scars or any signs that you had the procedure done?

It looks painful when you watch the procedure on Discovery Health Channel or some show like that. It looks like they are so forceful with that wand they use.

I think in the future as I start to age, I would probably consider getting it. I also have a high tolerance for pain. However, I've seen a lot of pictures of "plastic surgery gone wrong" and I don't know if I'd be able to go through with it. There are just so many risks involved, and I wouldn't want to make myself look worse than what I thought I looked like before the surgery.

pradaprincess I have my procedures under a general and afterwards for a day or two I am hooked up to a pain relief device where I push the button when I am in pain. (I'm not sure what they call them) You can not really see any scares from the lipo, unless you look very closely. Most of the time they are so small you dont even need stiches. I think a lot of the pain is from the amount of pushing and pulling they have to do. As my doctor said last time when I mentioned how sore I was, "We did a really good work out on you" to be honest I feel like I have been run over by a truck sometimes.

Im open with plastic surgery. At this time though, Im not considering doing any of it. I dont see anything wrong with people wanting to do it, if it's gonna boost their self-confidence or for medical reason. It's just sad sometimes, that some overdo it, just like what happened to this woman in Hollywood who died.

#7 (**permalink**) 10-21-2006, 02:25 AM

Yeah, some people can really take it to the extreme. I don't think I could ever get addicted to that much pain.

#8 (**permalink**) 10-21-2006, 02:31 AM

I've never had it, but it's not outside the realm of possiblity for me.

If I had the money, I'd be interested in getting a breast lift and a tummy tuck. Once I'm finished losing all the weight I have to drop, I'd probably be a candidate for a full body lift.

Yikes. I don't know if I would go that far with it, but it would be nice to have things back to the same general location that they *used* to be.

I have had a breast augmentation and laser hair removal done. The hair removal was done several times because it takes more than one session for it to be permanently removed. I had the hair on my upper lip, armpits, and bikini area done.

I'm interested in getting laser hair removal. I don't really know a whole lot about it. Could you tell me about how much it costed per visit? Can you feel anything during the procedure?

#11 (**permalink**) 10-23-2006, 11:16 AM

Im interested in the laser hair removal too especially on the bikini area, how long were you treated there? And yeah the cost, does it depend on the texture of the hair?

#12 (**permalink**) 10-23-2006, 01:27 PM

I would like to make my breast bigger my husband is wanting me to get this done also but like I told him they will not drive you to work or pay the bills so I just hate to spend that much money on something. Even tho I would like to get it done.

#13 (**permalink**) 10-24-2006, 09:32 PM

I've had plastic surgery and it is AMAZING what the doctors can do. I would like to have my tummy tightened, though I am afraid of the pain of recovery from a real, full-out tummy tuck!

My mom had lipo, but she was in a lot of pain and she's still not happy with her body.

I have had laser hair removal but wasn't blown away. Still have a few sessions remaining, and then maybe I'll be happy. Waxing for now.

I say I would never do plastic surgery, but who am I kidding? After seeing Ashlee Simpson it is certainly tempting. But there's nothing I feel so strongly about that is worth spending that kind of money.

My uncle went to lets see tawan I think to have this done he is still over there right now he said that it was much cheaper to have this done over there I don't think that any of the family has heard anything from him he should be coming home soon I would think and from what you have said I bet that he is in alot of pain...

A cousin of mine got nose surgery to remove a bump she didn't like, it was an amazing surgery, her nose looks fabulous!

I haven't had any plastic surgery but if I have all the budget like I'm that super rich and all, I think I would. But sometimes I'm afraid of it because I have a phobia with blood.

Plastic surgery nowadays are really becoming so popular but right now, I'm satisfied with what I have. Hehe!

#20 (**permalink**) 01-13-2007, 11:54 PM

i would like to go for laser hair removal and some skin rejuvenating treatments but i really want to avoid plastic surgery as much as possible

#21 (**permalink**) 02-25-2007, 10:08 PM

I was actually thinking the past couple of months that I would like to get some liposuction on my stomach and legs. I just have some areas that DON'T want to go away after having a baby. My husband isn't very into me doing that because he says I look fine and I weigh 120. I'm still thinking about going for the consultation.

If the budget were there, there are a few things I would consider (breast augmentation and face lift when I'm older). But, that's a lot of money. I think I could deal with the breast pain, but I'm not so sure about the face lift pain!

KeLLi · #24 (**permalink**) 03-28-2007, 10:33 PM

I've never had it done but have thought about it. Liposuction and a breast reduction and lift.

Hello!
I've had a mid-face lift and it didn't hurt at all, except when they removed the drainage tubes. That almost made me pass out but the rest of the stuff is tolerable and afterwards...its worth it! I was very happy with the results!

kitsch_k · #26 (**permalink**) 03-29-2007, 10:05 AM

im not fat but i would love a lipo to get rid of the cellulite!!

I wanted to get my chin shortened, but my teeth have been pushed backwards to form a bite, and I'd have to wear braces to pull them forward again if I had that done. I couldn't face wearing braces for ages, so I haven't bothered.

If you look at the celebrities that have had work done, it really becomes a turn off, because so many of them just turned out looking freaky and I'm not just talking about Michael Jackson either. Nicole Kidman was a beautiful woman, but NOW she just looks weird. Of course I wouldn't mind a boob lift, lol!

Exactly, look at Joan Rivers and Melaine Griffith, they took it too far.

In the case of Joan Rivers, I can't believe she actually thought that anything would be an improvement. hehe

one celebrity who also took it too far is priscilla presley..she used to be sooo beautiful when she was young...but instead of ageing gracefully she just AGED when she got those lip pumping, skin stretching operations...

That's for sure, the same goes for Loni Anderson. She used to look like such a Barbie doll and now she looks like a scary clown.
