Well personally i don’t see the problem with it.

I wouldn’t because i think yeah ok, people want to look nice and enhance there looks. But cosmetic surgery is major…

If people want to then i don’t see why not. I think its great how some people are scarred etc and they an use surgery to help there self confidence again.

At the same time i also support self fulfillment and think that cosmetic surgery should be a last resort.

I think it’s a mistake.
I think if they feel they need cosmetic surgery to feel better about themselves, then it would be more valuable to do something to boost their self esteem instead.

Then again, that’s easy for me to say, because I’m gorgeous.
LOL. Right.

Really, it’s just being comfortable with yourself. I have been super uncomfortable with myself in the past. I do not remember at what point that stopped. If I could remember that, I could give better advice.

So, you’re thinking of cosmetic surgery?
What is it you feel needs “enhanced” about your looks?
And when did you begin to feel that way?

Man, for a long time, I obsessed about my nose. I was like, wow it is so fat and wide I am a freak.
I don’t know what I was wigging about… it’s just a nose!
I decided since it was fatter, I could breathe better than most people, so if the air ever got thinner, it would be an evolutionary advantage, and the thin-nosers would die out.

(Not seriously… that was just a funny way I put it to myself to have a sense of humor and stop thinking about my nose…)
OH and it has big pores, too… my nose… so I wrestle with blackheads… yuck… but I’m still gorgeous.

Also, I used to get teased for having a big head. I don’t know what’s up with that. I’m very sensitive about it. I don’t know why.

There is no cosmetic surgery to make your head smaller, seriously! So what can I do, right?

I suppose I can work out, because then with a bigger body it’s all about proportions… but then what happens when I am 60 and can’t keep up the bulk?

Okay, I’m rambling, sorry, but just answer my questions.

Yeah, forget about it.
Think about something you *can* change naturally, like if you wish you were stronger or something… then you can start walking every day or working out. That will totally make you feel better anyway… after the soreness wears off… totally can improve your outlook!

Seriously!

freakingid’s suggestion is a good one. Exercise can work wonders for making me feel better.

In answer to your original question - No. However tempting it might be. Keep yourself looking like you.

Hi! I was born in 1983 and here in the philippines there is a big misconception about what is beautiful. Most of them here like white skinned girls. When i was a kid, the whole family often tell me that im ugly,im thin,they said i didn’t happened to look like them, (we have some spanish blood)i was teased by my brothers that maybe i was the wrong baby that my mother got from the hospital after giving birth. My whole childhood was painful to me, my mother discriminated me from my brothers. I am the only girl among us three. I was dark skinned then and he wouldn’t let me wear light-colored clothes because according to her, those would only make me look darker. So i only wear the saddest color of them all. She never let me introduced to the relatives and because of that i had a very inferior personality. My lips are thick and pouty (those times in the 90’s here they like thin lips)I would bite my lips just to make it look thin. Every girls here were addicted to hair rebonding and because of that i tried hard just to make my curly hair go straight which wasn’t natural of me. It just made my hair more dry.

But when i reached 23-25, i was so tired of working hard to look more like of the cutie or airbrushed models in the magazines. I surrendered fooling myself that someday i will be more like them. I accepted my color and the texture of my hair and lips. Instead Im just taking care of it rather than changing everything. After that something happened. I am very amaze at how people look at me. Coz they started to see me differently. Now, they appreciate my thick lips. They appreciate my long curly hair. British, Spanish, Koreans, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Danish, Australian, English, Arabian, Indian, so many to tell; when they see me they turn heads…really.

They like my hair, my skinny arms and my big teeth that everybody made fun when i was younger, my long neck. They like my color and some even offer me some modeling career. Im just an ordinary person but my suitors are extra ordinary. They come from rich families, actors and even politicians.

And that’s because I accepted myself the way I am. I am different.
