So, again in the argument that plastic surgery is wrong because we should embrace our natural beauty is it then vain to get braces for jacked up teeth even though you can still eat fine? Nobody cares and makes a stink about people, young teens even (!) altering their unfortunately dealt hand of bad teeth, but getting another type of cosmetic adjustment is wrong? Seriously, think about it.
And it is completely UNTRUE that it "always looks fake no matter what" ninja, please. I have and and FELT boobs that I swear were real and weren't, I have seen nose jobs that were phenomenal, I have even seen such well done botox one would never know. I am not advocating everyone should go run out and get under a knife. I am saying let's take a moment to discuss this topic with well considered thoughts formed and legitimatly valid points. Saying those who have had cosmetic surgery are supplementing confidence and insecure, trashy, always fake looking, or vain is not only offensive, but demonstrates a lack of ability to broaden ones perspective masked in a false sense of superiority.

I just think that going overboard is not very attractive. I think a little enhancement here or there isn't bad. Body proportions should be taken into consideration lol. And honestly D cups are not all they're cracked up to be. I tend to have to by shirts that are big for me so my boobs don't look like they're about to bust out.
Also note that there are SOME people who have psych issues that drive them to do unnecessary procedures In a quest to look better to fill a void. Those people are ultimately never satisfied because the issue isn't their appearance it's how they perceive themselves. If you have a healthy sense of self and you feel like you want something done for yourself then i don't think it's a bad thing.

I dont mind plastic surgery. But i will admit that when i see a woman with clearly fake boobs, that are unnaturally round and high under her chin, and shes walkin round in the lowest cut tops, that pisses me off, but then you have to remember that she may have really low self esteem. I my self am a member of the 'ittybittytittycomittee' and i do not believe that 'anything more than a handful is a waste' thats just something people say to make people like me feel better. I have visited a few surgeons, iv been measured up to see how big i could go, but haven't done anything about it yet. I probably never will. I also want my nose and chin altering but i havent visited a surgeon about that yet. I think so long as it looks natural theres no problem. Heidi montag looks fabulous, albeit id prefer her with slightly smaller boobs but thats not my choice is it. If surgery was cheaper, and if i trusted the surgeons more, id have probably got all 3 procedures done by now. Unfortunately 10,000 is a deposit on a house for me, not money i can throw away on surgery, if i do one day have that spare cash, ill post before and after photos haha.

It's not trashy but I think it's great to rock what you got (:

Yall shut up about it being trashy. I'm getting a nose job because it was broken in a car wreck when I was 13, and now it's big and crooked. Screw what everyone else thinks. Just have your friend do his/her research before doing something so drastic. But whatever makes them feel attractive is all that matters.

At the end of it all it's all about what makes you feel more attractive & boost up your confidence. Just make sure you're getting the surgery because you want it for yourself & not just to please a significant other.

There is nothing classy or trashy about it. Some people need help in making themselves feel confident in their appearance, and I dont see the problem with that as long as nobody is getting hurt.

Did you know during the Victorian Era, women who wore makeup were considered low class and tacky?

Interesting coincidence.

Also in the victorian era, some women laced their corsets so tight that it would permanently alter their waste, trying to get down to a 15in waist is dangerous and takes time, but people were always impressed with those women. People always have and always will alter their appearance, and it phases in and out of fashion. Let peope do what they want.

I think it really is personal preference. If someone wants to spend a lot of money on Plastic Surgery that is their business.

If someone feels a strong dislike for a part of their body, and surgery is attainable for them, then more power to them. I have tiny boobs, they're an A cup, I feel less feminine, and out of proportion because of them, I am saving for a boob job and I know that when I can get it done, I'll be much more confident with my body. It's a personal choice and honestly no different to getting a tattoo..

Also, a breast replacement is completely different to a breast reduction/enlargement.

I don't really feel like the act of having plastic surgery is classy or trashy as much as I think of some peoples persona as being classy or trashy.

A breast replacement is not any different. There are single sided bras and even bra inserts specifically for cancer survivors so no surgery is necessary to replace lost tissue. Even if they have to take extra whatever tissue from somewhere else there us no one that's is going to say it is medically necessary for them to have a BREAST implant to be able to function normally. If they choose, they can leave it as is or use non permanent enhancements, or permanent surgery.
They have the choice and at the end of the day that choice is : leave it as is or make it more aesthetically pleasing. Exactly the same as the A cup girl, the crooked teeth kid, the hornbeaked nosed woman, or the tummy tucking weight loss winner.

The only even remotely close argument in that arena is someone who has lost a limb and needs a prosthetic to do daily normal functions better, such as walking....

I've always wanted surgery for my nose,it has a big bump in it because I'm half Mexican/Arab and I hate it.But I've learned to embrace it and plus it makes me different and unique :).

I completely disagree.
A breast replacement is something women have to feel more normal, more how they used to be.

Having breast implants to change your body to your idea of beauty is in no way the same.

Your friend needs to do his or her research.
The first few names of surgeons that pop up in a localised google search aren't necessarily top surgeons.
Cheap is not better.
Find out how the procedure is done, if it needs revisiting or touching up in a few years' time after it's done, and how it ages with the body's natural ageing processes. (For example, I've seen some F-ed up boob jobs on women who had them done decades ago...eventually even fakies sag.)
Be prepared to spend a lot, take time off work, be possibly laid up in bed for a while and initial post-surgery soreness.
There's also post-op check ups with the surgeon which all add up too.
It's a life long decision, so make sure your friend is 100% aware of what they are dealing with.

Alisa I understand your point of view but coming from someone who knows a breast cancer survivor, it's not about being aesthetically pleasing as such. It's the pain of losing a big part of what makes you feel womanly, feminine and sexy. If a survivor of a mastectomy feels like getting breast replacements is going to help them feel like a woman again, that's nothing like "I want bigger boobs so I look hot in low cut tops and bikinis".

100% agree Catherine, you worded it better.
