I am all for it. Why not if you can afford it? If I could afford it, I would buy some lips and I would get rid of the parenthesis that I have had since the day I was born.

There is no moral and ethicial question here, it's about how you feel about yourself and wanting to improve how you look. I think it's great, as long as you do it for yourself and not to please anyone else.

I would certainly have a "nip/tuck" here and there or maybe a little extra in other places (if I had the money).

Besides, the more you get the less embalming solution they have to use!

I want the full overhaul. You all heard of Pimp My Ride or Pimp My Truck. How about Pimp My Chick?

seriously though, I think we all have some things about our bodies we would like to change. I don't think having some cosmetic surgery is something to be ashamed of or be embarrassed by. I do think we put too much pressure as a society on young girls and guys to strive to be "Perfect"

I think there are so many ways a person can be beautiful. And yes wrinkles and grey hair can be beautiful. But love handles are just ugly on anyone.

And you would be to old why? Your back still hurts, your shoulders still hurt. Your breasts are still over sized. Why not go have an evaluation done? Char, I assisted with a breast reduction on a woman in her early 70's, so no you are not to old

I'd give anything to have "perky" boobs again. You are right kids and gravity do not go hand and hand. In fact my boobs dont even fit in my hands anymore, they overflow

You guys have given me encouragement. Maybe I will look into it after all.

If I had the money, Like vicki, I would have a complete overhaul. My husband thinks it is such a vain thing and does not understand it at all.

has anyone heard about the genital plastic surgery- is that insane or what....wow- i can imagine the affects after the surgeryis complete- i mean with it being sensitive area and stuff...wow.. that is all i can say

I would want to get breast implants. I know that having larger breasts there is a risk of back problems, etc. but after I had my first child my belly went back right away and I still had big breasts from the milk. I loved the way that I felt then! Like it was said earlier, as long as it is for you and not for someone else.

Personally, plastic surgery makes me feel very sad. There is nothing I love more than seeing and talking to old people, knowing that every line on their face tells a story of humor or hardship or love or fear or work. I can't wait to look like that! I love looking in the mirror and knowing that the features on my face and the shape of my body were handed down to me by relatives that have looked in a similar manner since the dawn of humanity. To me, it's a wonderful connective force to and with people that aren't here any more. I think it's very sad that we live in a culture that not only puts an overemphasis on youth and unattainable physical beauty, but that people will never be happy enough with what parents and/or God gave them. It represents, to me, people's poor self-esteem and aspirations to be something that they're not.

However, I am all for reconstructive surgery in the case of burn injuries, cleft palates, and the like. I think that is a completely different matter.
