Basically everyone's fave here has had some type of plastic surgery maybe the only exception being Rihanna

I mean look at society, constantly making people (especially women) for not looking a certain way, and then the moment that person changes him or herself to look LIKE THAT, to look like what society wants, they keep on judging him or her.

I disagree with plastic surgery when it becomes an addiction or if a particular surgery is ilegal (for exemple, there are surgeries that are banned in Europe and NA, but not in Cuba - and doing that surgery can be really hurtful and bad for a person). But if its a legal procedure to make people feel good about themselfs, i don't see why not.

You DON'T have the right to criticize someone for their looks and then for trying to change them.

ironically enough those people are probably the same ones who say they don't care about looks, personality matters more etc. but if someone wants to change their physical appearance then why does it matter if their personalities are still great?

Do you, but don't think I'll be hanging around you when you start to look like this

[musicman101]

Because most of the time it looks bad, people that do it once tend do it again and again

I love plastic surgery

[deadautumncrow]

I was literally about to make this thread earlier. Personally, I find plastic surgery liberating. It's not that I think I'm ugly/have low self esteem; I personally think I'm pretty good looking and I'm comfortable in my own skin. I can't wait until I get plastic surgery because It's a way to give yourself the traits you've always wanted and be the person you see yourself as. For all you people saying people who get plastic surgery are insecure: I have literally 0 insecurities about my looks and I couldn't care less how people look at me. I'm getting a nose job and jawline contouring. It's a (I say it again) liberating experience to look like the ideal me FOR MYSELF.

Why else would someone go to such extremes to change how they look unless they're being pressured by societal beauty standards?

So it's society that needs to change. Not people who need to fix their self-esteem.
By calling people who do plastic surgery freaks or shallow, you* aren't helping anybody.

People ALWAYS criticise plastic surgery, but they forget the problem isn't plastic surgery itself it's bigger and far more complex

*by you i don't mean you, you. but you as in general

Because it's deceptive.

I want to do a nose job too, but I don't know when

Exactly, I agree. People who say beauty doesn't matter and are against plastic surgery, are usually some of the most judgmental ones.

In some cases PS can actually help people feel better about themselfs and by feeling better their personalities grow and become better.

I won't date someone with Plastic Surgery done(Unless its medical) But i'm fine with people who want to do it. I just think people who do it lack confidence and are trying to fit in with society. The only time when Plastic surgery pisses me off is when people(especially celebrities) promote plastic surgery bodies as the normal standard of beauty.

Speak for your fave obviously! Bey and Taylor have never! I'm not so sure about Gaga, although I'm assuming she hasn't either!

i don't care for it because it leads to an addiction for most people

couldn't have said it better

i've always wanted to get plastic surgery to look more like MY ideal image, not because im shallow or obsessed with looks but bc i like to feel comfortable in my own skin and i'll be looking how i want to look, not how anyone else wants me to

also @ ppl saying 'society's standards', do you not realise much of what we find attractive is actually hardwired into our brains? like im pretty sure we can all tell the different between a beautiful person and a truly ugly one. beauty is subjective, ugly however is not

[AMENHOOKER]

I don't know. I want countless cosmetic surgeries and I will have each and every one of them done. It's my life goal to seduce and wed a plastic surgeon. Everyone should strive to be the best version of himself/herself.

I agree with all this but I also think people who cave into getting work done are not confident or strong willed partly because of society and partly because of they're own personal lack of self-worth. Not that it's their fault, but I just couldn't really take someone who has had work done seriously if I knew them personally.

but not everything that society says is ugly, is actually ugly.
basically, in a very direct manner, society only finds white skinny women and white muscled men beautiful. you're more beautiful and interesting if you are blond and have green/blue eyes.

there's obviously a **** ton of, lets say, black curvy women who are beautiful. but not by society's standards. they aren't called ugly per say, but you can see society never finds them to be the most beautiful.

yes beauty is subjective, but there's an ideal for it that most of the population doesnt fit in.

Its funny ~certain~ people here (on ATRL, not exactly this thread) saying its shallow and stupid, but they dont mind going to SYG to call Kesha a "fridge" or to say Britney "looks like a meth addict".

To criticise someone for their looks only is shallow. Undergoing plastic surgery, on the other hand, isnt.

Drag them KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kyogul]

if you people are so adamant about 'trying too hard to fit into society' then you should withstain from using make up, wearing brand/designer clothes, decorating your hair with extensions, etc.

people who have plastic surgery are doing nothing more than what we're all doing: to look good.
