So you have a physical flaw.. Do you deal with it or get corrective surgery?

Here's the scenario. It may be true in your case. It may be completely made up. It could be a little of both.

Anyway, you have a physical flaw. It isn't a health risk, but you may consider it as an eyesore. It is something that makes you "different," but doesn't threaten your health or life.

You think of your own flaw, but let's assume that it is fixable via surgery, and you can afford the surgery. You have the flaw and the funds.

Do you get the surgery performed so you can look "normal," or do you live with your flaw and make it a good thing?

Those aren't the only two options, and if you have other/better results please post them.

I have come to realize that people have flaws (myself definitely included), whether it be phyiscal or personality. Both are fixable (in this case), but I wanted to see what you all thought in regards to physical flaws and whether you would like to have yours fixed, or if you'd rather live with the body you were given at birth and make the best of your situation.

Again, there is no set or correct answer. I am very interested to see what everyone has to say though.

In recent years there seems to be a huge focus on physical traits and having the "ideal" body, and I am also curious about how much that carries over to our personal lives.

So, given the scenario above, what would you do?

Lastly, as a possible second question.. Are you "forgiving" when viewing others or do you point out their flaws and criticize them?
