Is it worth it
 

Just heard on BBC Northwest News that the wife of former Roves player Colin Hendry, is back in hospital, in ICU, with problems from plastic surgery which went wrong a few years ago. This question is probably more relevant to women than men, but would you put your life at risk for vanity or would you rather carry on as you and let nature take its natural course:confused:

Re: Is it worth it
 

No it definitely isn't worth it.
Colins wife was beautiful without any surgery(although she didn't think so)and the surgery seriously affected her quality of life, the quality of life of her husband and her children too, but I guess it is easy to be wise after the event.

All operations are fraught with danger....some only a little, but I would not have surgery unless it was deemed essential/life preserving.

I feel sorry for her and her family and i hope that she will soon be well again and restored to her family, where she belongs.

No i wouldnt have cosmetic surgery .. simple reason im too scared to have it done .... have only had surgery once and that was bad enough .. first i wouldnt go to sleep and then they had problems waking me up ... so no thanks ...

Re: Is it worth it
 

No I would not have any surgery unless it was absolutely neccessary to save my life. Both my children were born by c-section and I have had other surgical procedures and there is no way I would put myself through pain for the sake of vanity. I am me and if you don't like me tough:)

Re: Is it worth it
 

I think if she could have seen what was going to happen she wouldn't have done it. Procedures like this take place every day without going wrong, she was just unlucky. :(

I don't blame her, just like I wouldn't blame someone who died in a plane crash for trying to get away on holiday........hundreds of planes take off and land every day without incident, occasionally one crashes but that's not what you expect when you book your flight.

Re: Is it worth it
 

Given the chance, yes I would have cosmetic surgery. I know that there are risks, as with every medical procedure but I would have it done. I have 1 major issue with my body that has really knocked my confidence so despite all the risks I would have surgery.

Re: Is it worth it
 

If I had an issue that made me seriously depressed and I had the money then I would do it but it would have to be seriously affecting my quality of life.

I don't blame anyone else for having it done, although some things you can have done seem silly to me, they may not be to someone else.

Re: Is it worth it
 

Nope, not worth the pain and hassle , surgery of any kind is traumatic and dangerous, your body isn't designed to be cut up. Nothing about my body would make me take up the option of surgery to make it look better, I have had a c section and also leg vein surgery, both surgical necessities not thru vanity!:rolleyes:

Re: Is it worth it
 

my mates about to have plastic surgery

after a stag night that went wrong hes having an operation to remove an action man from his bum :D

Re: Is it worth it
 

i'd have plastic surgery, i want a boob job...but thats all i'd have done

Re: Is it worth it
 

To me its bad enough having surgery for medical purposes, (I've had 4 minor ops both cataracts removed, and ulcers removed from my tongue twice)let alone for vanity, the one thing you can't do is stop the aging process, no matter how much you'd like to and that's a fact

Re: Is it worth it
 

I don't understand why women want to have big boobs.
They are a strain on back muscles and bra straps cut into shoulders.
This big boob obsession seems like masocism to me.

If they think that they will be attractive to men, just consider what type of man will they attract - one that misses his mummy:dummy2:

Re: Is it worth it
 

why is it women with no tits want bigger tits and women with bigger tits want smaller tits

maybe instead of all this plastic flying around women shoud just exchange boob fat:confused:

women however seem to be unified in thinking that their bums need to be smaller for some odd reason yet dont seem to have a specific size in mind so constantly ask their partners for their opinion who are restricted by common sense not to answer honestly lol

Re: Is it worth it
 

See, although the surgery i want is classed as cosmetic there are other reasons for me wanting it done, not just the cosmetic reason. Eventhough it does problems medically there is nothing I can do (am not going into too much detail) it does affect my confidence, self esteem etc and it is something that i find very upsetting and does get me down, make me cry etc. These are my reasons for wanting it done but I just cannot afford that kind of thing

Re: Is it worth it
 

Well Margaret I've always held the opinion that what don't fit in a hand is waste anyway:D

Re: Is it worth it
 

Her life was saved by the skill of the team at an NHS Hospital and she said herself she had been very lucky to be alive, I suppose some people are just never satisfied with what they have or haven't got

Re: Is it worth it
 

I think that most women have a feature with which they aren't entirely happy.........I always wanted to be taller......but as I have got older it doesn't seem to matter so much.
We are all so much more than our appearance...personality counts for more than looks....but the media make some women believe that they aren't valid unless they conform to a certain look......it would be very boring if we were all the same shape and size.

Re: Is it worth it
 

Thats exactly what I say when I look in the mirror every morning Margaret:D

Re: Is it worth it
 

Women who subject themselves to surgery for cosmetic reasons are showing their insecurity - better to use the money for mental therapy to improve their self esteem.

Women who do it to please the man in their life, should really consider whether or not that man is worth pleasing.

Re: Is it worth it
 

Dont fall over Margaret but I agree with that statement.


Men have spent years try to get what they think is a perfect women and have to be held responsible. We have young girls who think that being a size is the norm and that plastic surgary is a god given right. Women should be allowed to look how they want not how men think they should. Its men with eg's that have caused this. Women are bombarded by pictures of so called perfect women and after years of what to me is subversive and sublime marketing they become slaves to this perfect image. When they start on this road to so called perfection under the surgeons knife they are another victim of the cowpats thats advertised. No women should go to any lengths to be that so called "Perfect Woman" if it puts her health at risk n that goes for visits to tanning salons as well.

If I put lipstick on (which I rarely do these days) it is for me.......If I wear perfume, that is for me too.......I don't colour my hair......I figure that if folk don't like my greying hair then that is their problem, not mine.....after all I only see it briefly when I look in the mirror....and these days I look in mirrors far less....I have had 60 odd years to get used to what I look like...and what I look like matters much less to me now.....it is what is going on in my heart that matters much more.
I try to stay trim....but not for vanity, for health....my Ma is a diabetic and this makes my chances of inheriting this condition higher if I don't take care over what I eat.

I agree with Spuggie, and with MargaretR.

Re: Is it worth it
 

Margaret its natural streaking not grey. It can be the sign of a wise well rounded person. It dosnt hurt to go grey I am and dosnt bother me nor does getting a solar panel. Vanity is a curse and should be discouraged. Even men are now becoming vain and going under the knife and trying to be what they are not. Hereditary factors play a huge part in who we are and therefore we should not challange Mother Nature as she will come back withe bite of a Hyena.
