Thought I would share this with you, last night i attended a function at a Cosmetic surgery clinic in Yorkshire near to where I live… i went with a friend who was considering eyelid surgery… as we entered we were offered Champagne nibbles and chocolate covered strawberries… I was amazed how eagerly the women (about 20 women attended) accepted the sales pitches given by surgeons…. yes the surgeons did the presentation… the cost of going under the knife might interest you….
Breast Augmentation….£4316.00
Face/Neck Lift….£5689.00
Blepharoplasty (eyebags)…£1633.00
Rhinoplasty (nose)…£4239.00
Liposuction…..£2831.00
Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)…..£4968.00Looking at the prices maybe thats why we were offered champagne … anyway would you have cosmetic surgery? Taking into consideration the costs and risks… would you do it and what would you have done?
several f 3 regs i can think of should go the whole hog
complete head transplant:P
Pure and simple….
NO.
I am happy with what God gave me, as it ages I am sure I will adjust to the new face in the mirror and embrace it as it happens.
I can understand people who have cosmetic surgery for reasons such as scars or medical reasons such as back problems due to mahoosive chest etc but when it is purely someone wanting to do the anti age thing I think that makes them vain and being vain is an ugliness no amount of surgery will change.
Botox is another thing that makes me wonder… poison in your face must have long term implications. I would hate to see what happens in the distant future to all these ppl who have had it done.
I know someone who is currently having botox in her bladder to stop the tena lady syndrome. I suppose it has its benefits in some ways.I tend to agree with you Melody, although I did chat to a lady who had just lost 9 stones in weight and wanted excess skin removed, I do have some sympathy with that. It was interesting that there were some very young women wanting boob jobs, so funny as I remember I wanted to be like twiggy when I was younger and she was flat chested! :D

Excess skin removal should be something she could get done on the nhs. If she has taken control and lost all that weight she had improved her health and they should allow her to have that done on the nhs – let’s face it they spend enough money on ppl with health implications due to obesity.
want some of this?
Yuck! :-…
hell no !! Just as i got my head together, the rest of me fell apart. :) but thats nature. .too many horror stories. Im friendly with my female dentist. had her since she was a student 20 years ago, even dentists do botox. a pal of a pal scenario asked me to price her,, so i innocently asked ” erm avril, how much is botox”.. and she near died assuming it was for me LOL.. I get face freeze and palpitations with the local anaesthetic injection for days ! Not the first time she has lifted me from her floor with the adrenaline, and took me for a Brandy ! Im allergic to everything :)
A friend of mine had what is called ” The english rose lift “
Cost her a small fortune , but she looks fantastic for it , the only give away
are the small scars behind her ears. She is happy thats the main thing .Would i have it done ? who knows .
Yes. without question. I would love an eye lift.
No, not unless it was needed for health reasons (e.g breast reduction for bad back) or reconstruction after an accident or surgery.
I once read an autobiography, I forget the lady’s name, but she had done many things in her life, including at one time being a Hollywood make-up artist. It was a pretty bland biography but there was one story that stuck with me. She had an actress in the chair for make-up for a photoshoot. This actress was now in her later years, but had once been lauded for her natural beauty. The make-up artist did her best to restore her former beauty, erasing lines, using techniques to lift the eyes and the mouth and so on. At the end, proud of what she had achieved, she gave the actress a mirror and awaited praise…the actress was horrified. “What have you done with my lines? my wrinkles?” The make-up artist, flustered, tried to show her what she had done but the actress demanded that she take it all off and start again, saying “My lines and my wrinkles show the journey of my life, who I am. I’ve had a good life, an interesting life, and I don’t want it erased.”
I smile and laugh a lot and I have what I call laughter lines and what others might call crows feet. I’ve had them since I was 17 – I have a photo to prove it! – and I wouldn’t erase them for the world.
So when you look at a lined and wrinkled face, rather than thinking how old they look, think about the life experiences that put those lines there. And be proud of your lines and wrinkles, thumbs down to smooth, stretched, bland and boring canvases!
