I have to say after reading all of these posts that I am very impressed & proud of our little group here! I expected to be wincing away reading these posts, but was pleasantly surprised.
If money were no object, would I? Hell no! I am far from perfect, but as Dee Snider once said, "I am - I'm me!" (And actually, I'm glad I brought him up, because he is a perfect example of someone who doesn't have a good-looking face in the traditional sense of a Johnny Depp or something, but he is gorgeous. His body, his talent, his funny personality, - Gorgeous! And I would rather have a Dee Snider than a mannequin ANY day!)
I find it very sad that so many people feel the need to be physically "perfect" - It disturbs me greatly. I think people can be attractive in so many ways, just having "perfect" features doesn't do the trick at all. Not for me. I hate the plastic surgery mentality of this society. I feel like when I look at people, I don't know if I'm seeing what they're really supposed to look like.
In the case of someone with a "birth defect" like a cleft pallate or something, yes, sure. But not these women who risk their lives going under the blade (Hey - "Under the Blade". I must really be in a Twisted Sister mood or something! ) just for cheek implants or something -- That is disturbing!
Richard Gere has a big nose, but most women still find him to be quite attractive. And he wouldn't look right without it.
Charlize Theron is another example. She is breath-takingly beautiful, but has small breasts. But they're nice breasts, so who cares?! But I can just see all of these people out there looking at her Playboy spread saying, "She should get implants!" (Morons.)

Yeah, the only plastic surgery I want is more of a comfort issue than a beauty issue. Like others, I'd like to get eye corrective surgery so I can actually see without glasses or contacts, and I'd like to get a breast reduction so I can actually find clothes that fit and not have to carry these things around. But I still don't know if I would go through with the reduction, I'd probably spend the money getting custom made clothes instead.
