I'd be far too scared for Botox, I think all in moderation is ok, but the likes of Nicole Kidman and Marcia Cross just go too far with it.

Me too. I went to a skin therapist a few times, who herself had quite some fine wrinkles and lines next to her nose. Turned out I was 6 months older than her!!!!

She told me that my problem skin would save me from getting wrinkles, at least any time soon. So far, she's right. I'm the same age as you and only have wrinkles when I laugh.

If I had the money-
tummy tuck/lipo
breast lift
something done to my eyes-not sure if a lift or not, but have some fine lines that are getting 'less fine' with time

I want Botox in my forehead. And I would use whatever surgical procedures available to get rid of cellulite.

Thanks. Going with my brother's girlfriend. We both have a certificates to get it done- just need to make the appointments. Did you end up with the shiny Nicole Kidman forehead? Sorry- but she is my example of plastic surgery gone bad.

No. Of course, everyone's mind can change with time, but I'm pretty sure I will never have cosmetic surgery. Personal reasons. Plus, I'm not willing to submit myself to painful and risky surgery unless it's really necessary.

I have to admit now that I am getting older..liposuction does not sound so bad after all. Of course if I had the money for that I would also hire a personal trainer.

I only had the bit done between my eyes, so I don't have the ginormous shiny immobile forehead thing going on. It was a little swollen for a couple of days and I wasn't allowed to wear my riding hat for 72 hours or to do anything that involved too much bending down (they don't want the botox to move), but it went back to normal really quickly. Nobody noticed at all, but I did have several people say how well I was looking!

The good thing is that it's temporary, so if you hate it it will go away in a few months and you never need have it done again - it's not like you are stuck with it. Let me know how you get on?

I would get a boob job (damn kids...lol), botox, maybe a little eye work, and an ass lift (damn gravity). I think the rest would fix itself, if I ever got off my butt and exersiced.

SuperHeroTights · September 8th, 2006, 12:24 AM

well despite the fact that my nose has a bump, I have freckles to spare and my boobs are small, I wouldnt change a thing! I'm happy with what I got because it's mine and it's real. yeah I have quite a few flaws but I feel like if I put too much time into my apperence I wont have time to better myself on the inside. Ok so I sound like an after school special lol but I just think this culture is to focused on outward apperences. I'm 17 years old and my peers tend to be a bit apperence obsessed. I'm proud of my full lips, my big eyes, my bump on my nose, my pale and freckly skin and I think everyone should be proud of what they have! ok, now my fingers hurt from typing so I'm gunna shut up

Boobs...nothing drastic just large enough for a full B or small C.

Algernon · September 8th, 2006, 01:24 PM

I would definitely get a tummy tuck. No matter what I do, having these two kids has left my once-cute tummy a nasty squishy mess.

buttmunch · September 9th, 2006, 01:26 PM

Oh, Algernon, I hear ya sister! I have a little 'baby bag' that no matter how many situps I do just never seems to go away. But in the end, it's sort of a badge of courage, eh? I've been operated on out of necessity and it sucked: pain, recuperation, tiredness...I wouldn't subject myself to any kind of surgery unless I absolutely had to.

PrettyGirl · September 17th, 2006, 02:42 AM

What I would do now...lasik surgery...veneers to get those perfect teeth...and I'd like to get my arms done. I hate my arms! I want buff, toned arms. Isn't there some surgery to remove the fat? I'd do that in a hot second.

Other than that, I can't say I'd want any plastic surgery now...I'm pretty happy with my face. I don't think I'm this ravishing beauty but hey, it could be worse! lol! I'm happy with my eyes, nose, mouth, so I don't think I'd ever get get any changes to my face. I'd be scared to get anything major done to my face--if they messed up, that would be it, no turning back. I'm not willing to take that risk.

Now body-wise, I'd like a more firmer body, but whatever...it's not like I'm 21. I'm realistic. I manage to stay a size 9/10. My size 6 days are over, but I'm okay with that. If and ever I have kids and I end up with a lot of stretch marks and flabby skin, I'd get a tummy tuck. That I would do one day if I needed it.

The boob issue, I'm on the fence about. I'm okay with mine...not too big, not too small, but IF they ever ended up sagging and really ugly one day, then I might consider a lift. I don't like the thought of implants. Eventually I think anything foreign in the body will cause you harm. It just can't be healthy. If our babies grow inside us and the body eventually forces even that out, how can keeping implants forever in your body be good? I know that's a crazy example, but that's how I see it. So, a possible breast lift might be in the future, but highly doubt I'd ever get implants.

A*O · September 17th, 2006, 02:52 AM

I've already had my tits fixed (reduction) and that's all I plan to do for the time being. But time marches on and everything heads south so I wouldn't rule out anything if I thought it would make a difference. Maybe a tummy tuck (2 pregnancies and major weightloss) but I can live with the fact I don't have a bikini bod any more. One-piece bathers (with LOTS of lycra LOL) can work wonders. My face is holding out (so far) and I am blessed with Grandma's wrinkle-free genes, and I am now reaping the benefits of having an oily skin as a teenager. But it can't last forever so hell yeah, I'd have Work if necessary.

My oily skin drives me nuts, but at least it's kept me youthful. I am in my early 40s, and I look 10 to 15 years younger. I think not smoking has helped, too. Smoking is rough on skin.
