plastic surgery

what are you ladies' general feelings about plastic surgery...mainly tummy tucks??

I'm biding my time before getting one myself. I want the loose skin around my stomach GONE so I can be attractive again. Lol.

So long as it doesn't become excessive, and isn't draining your income I fail to see the problem with plastic surgery.

I am having some serious insecurity issues and my tummy is one of the reasons...I had three c-sections in a little over four years and my appendix out in the middle of all of that...my tummy needs work I was born a worrier and I always worry about the risks vs. the good that it would do me....but it is something that I really want to do....

He just wants me to be happy...whatever makes me more comfortable with myself he is supportive of...truth be told it seems that my insecurity is causing issues for us...If he says "you look nice today" I say "no i don't" and it is getting old to him....he does worry that if I got a tummy tuck then I would have a scar to make me feel bad about my tummy....

I told the same to my wife when she raised the issue after having 8-children naturally. I love her then as I love more now and greater into the eternities.

Why do you seperate tummy tucks from other types of plastic surgery such as face lifts, nose or lip changes and/or breast enhancements?

Aren't all of these type of elective cosmetic surgeries all basic, in that they are designed to change and improve ones present body form into something more desirable?

While I personally have nothing against them, I sometimes wonder if they aren't a bit self indulgent and somewhat vain even though I have supported by wife on three different ocassions when she had them done on her skin and face.

I don't seperate any elective plastic surgery from another...I only wonder about tummy tucks simply because that is the only procedure I would have done...I do worry about my family and friends telling me how selfish these things are, that is one of my main concerns...

Plastic surgery dos not and will not make anybody happy. We tend to idealize certain aspects of our physical persona and often come to believe, based on stereotypes, that by changing them we will "feel" better/happier.

The facts are that, unfortunately, the last two generations of women completely surrendered their womanhood to false and bizarre standards of beauty created by psychologically defective people to begin with! The simple facts remain that a woman thinks "I will look better to others and that will make me feel better." or, how about this version: "Other will look at me with approval because I'd look _______", and of course "I will be/appear sexy, more attractive to others." That is the real mental process at play.

Some attempt to rationalize and deny such realities but it does not change the facts. Plastic surgery does very little when it comes to the enhancement of the marital relationship, which is where it should matter the most.
