I don't understand what Janet has to do with my opinion? All I said was that it represents that someone is insecure or doesn't accept something (in this case aging, which many people including myself dread).

I'm not 100% against plastic surgery because I believe there are many cases where it does good (e.g. rhinoplasty for a deviated septum) but it's abused by many people for superficial reasons.

If you really felt that way, then you wouldn't care about getting plastic surgery in the first place. Omg.

Why are you so insecure about your teeth?

I never used braces, so can't relate with you

.

I only have an issue with it when it's done excessively, but to be fair, I don't think anything done in excess is good.

I can count at least 5 times this troll used to try to act condescending towards several people in this thread.

I'll say it one last time for all the doubters: You can get plastic surgery and not have insecurities. Instead of using plastic surgery as a band-aid you can use it as liberation just to add some sprinkles to a beautiful cake.

Read a few comments ahead before embarrassing yourself further. You can read right? I know you're butthurt by me disagreeing with your ideas of validating your surgery and lack of confidence but

You're so upset!! I already explained why I didn't have a say in braces. You can continue to allow my opinion to bother you though. And even then, I still think changing your smile isn't comparable to changing your looks physically (going under the knife).

you're missing the point. i don't view my body as some god crafted miracle like some of the 'au naturel!!1!1!' ppl in here do, so i don't can't about using science to make myself more attractive

it's the same to say you're pro gay marriage and use a kim davis avi

I'm butthurt? you are the one saying you wouldn't change your features cause god gave them to you, like if you were born without a nose, ears, etc, you still wouldn't do a surgery right, cause god made you this way?

I honestly don't even see what's worth getting riled up about. People can do what they want with their own bodies (sounds familiar doesn't it... ). We always try to pretend we know what it's like to live in other people's existence when we really know nothing at all. Let people live. Their plastic surgery isn't harming anybody and ultimately it's a choice they make themselves. I totally get why some people would want it.

For example, I've never had the desire to want/seek out plastic surgery, but am I going to judge others for doing it? Hell no. I'm not them and they probably thought it out in their head way longer than I ever will.

The topic of PS addicts is a totally different ballpark and one that delves more into psychological disorders and obsession than the surgery itself. A lot of the addicts are severely unhappy and don't deal with the root cause of it. It's extreme to compare the addicts to the people who want a moderate amount of surgery, though.

Even the woman who preaches Born This Way has probably had some work done and/or at least uses products like botox and face fillers. No shade but just saying.

I don't think I was treating anyone poorly. I don't really judge people who get minor plastic surgery but when it becomes very noticeable I think it's a problem. Either way, it still represents unacceptance imo, which everyone has, I just don't think people should give into it so easily

Yep.

I had braces and the results were amazing. Why would I ever regret getting it done? It was a temporary process for a permanent outcome.

It's just so many contradictions in this.
