I am shallow. I admit it.
If the scars could be managed, I'd have the extra lopped off from where I worked damn hard to lose the equivalent of a high school cheerleader so that all I accomplished could be better seen.
In a heartbeat.

King: Ya know, I was really thinking about that. I'd have to get myself a penis. Every other guy has one... or so it seems.

I'd want a penis the size of a beer can installed on my smoothspot. Something really intimidating and mushroomy.

That way I can be lonely but feel manly. It's the importance of having a huge dick in contemporary society.

Crucial, it seems.

I would get some kind of tummy tuck to help with my c-section scars and a weight loss surgery.

laconic1

I'd get laser hair removal on my back, upper arms, and shoulders. Seriously, it's really gross, and shaving my own back is getting to be quite the chore, especially around my shoulderblades. It would be nice to go to a swimming pool without making people throw up. Other than that I'm happy with myself.

Vigilante

You know, you win for me. I was going to say "nothing", but fuck it, that I would do.

Wife might be trying to get me hairplugs. I dunno. I guess so I can have hair live my avatar again... haha

I don't know about having surgery for aesthetic reasons. Surgery is always a risk and I don't know if I could cope with that thought, especially if something did end up going wrong.

If there was no risk, before during or after, totally hypothetical...I'd get whatever I wanted to keep looking young and fresh. I'm not ready to give that up yet.

I'd lipo everything, laser away stretch marks and scars, remove extra skin from the lipo, and have laser hair removal everywhere between my neck and my knees plus armpits. If I had the money to spare, I'd at least do liposuction. I'm not happy with the way my body looks and it will take years of hard work to get myself into shape, and that will still leave me with extra skin and stretch marks.

nikkiana

I'd probably go with the breast reduction.

MSD, How's about you exercise the fat away then get rid of the skin through plastic surgery? I've seen pictures of you and I think it will take exactly four years without surgery for you to be completely lean and toned. Why exercise, you develop a healthy lifestyle. This is opposed to surgery that you have to heal and recover from.

Plastic surgery smells very bad to me simply because of the "surgery" part.

I have a question, how easy is it to regain the bad effects you got id of during plastic surgery? I mean, if you got liposuction on your thighs and you are a sick S.O.B who eats fast food all day and does nothing, how easy is it to get the fat back into your thighs?

sapiens

Like ground effects in a car! Maybe you could get it to pulse with music as well!

I can't think of any plastic surgery that I would like. Maybe removing excess skin if I lost a lot of weight.

Reese

I'd like to have a more defined jaw line. Even when I'm fit and in shape I still have the jawline of a chubby guy.

Although it probably doesn't count as plastic surgery, I'd get my vision corrected with lasik surgery; I've been wearing goddamned glasses since I was eight!

As for actual plastic surgery, I'd get my droopy eyelids lifted. Not only do I look half asleep and/or bored, my eyelids move my contacts around, which irritates my eyes and the inside of my eyelids. When I try to hold my eyes more open, I get dry eyes and eye fatigue. I rarely wear contacts.

Honestly, I don't find that to be shallow. Perhaps the line is totally subjective, but I think there's a difference between repairing due to irregular changes (such as drastic weight loss or an accident) and 'having a little taken in here and there.'

And I don't really 'pass judgment' on people for having cosmetic surgery for other, less 'important,' reasons as long as it is within reason - rational. There is a limit, though, past which I would look at someone as being superficial and possibly not in their right mind. I do know such a person and, yes, I respect her less for what she has done to herself. But, consequently or not, I didn't find a lot to admire about her before she started having surgeries.

Don't get too skeerd lol







No I'm not stoned. This is how my eyes are normally w/out make up. It's just this extra chunk of skin that needs to go away. Left eye is worse than right but it used to be vice versa. I'm an artist when it comes to make-up - once done, my eyes are my best feature. But without, I look like I'm nodding out on heroin.

Maybe I'll try other shots later when it's not so bright.

MSD

I have about 10-15 pounds to go before I can even exercise properly. I have arthritis in both knees and a shoulder from injuries. When I was about 10 pounds lighter than I am now, my knees weren't so bad, as it is, I can tell you that "zero impact" exercises are a load of bullshit and hurt every bit as much. Once I can start running, I'm hoping that it will get easier. I'll never be able to do arm exercises to what should be my full potential because of the shoulder injury. I've been eating healthy, not drinking, and it's just not helping as much as I was hoping. If I didn't have all this extra fat, I'd be able to exercise pain-free and get in shape a lot more easily.

Plus, in four years I'll be almost 30. I want to be in shape while I'm young enough to enjoy it. I'll also never be able to afford to remove extra skin and laser away stretch marks.

i'd get another gonad to replace the one i'm sacrificing for TFP

I've been thinking about this. There are much better things I could spend money on, and if I DID have to pay, no... I certainly wouldn't do it.

Free, though? Well...okay, fine. Nothing major. Maybe a facelift. Lipo on my tummy...I've lost 80 pounds, and can't seem to get rid of the damn tummy. Lasik on my eyes (which may or may not count.)

That's really about it. There are other things I don't like, but they aren't that important.

I want my teeth removed and replaced with stainless steel implants.

Salem

If you count laser eye surgery, then that's all I'd get done. If you don't count it, then I'm out. I like the body i have. Its certainly not perfect, but it's mine.

Plan9

I second this but the implants must be made of titanium. Tooth durability is a huge issue.

Mmm, I don't know if I'd count corrective eye surgery. Plastic surgery seems to be cosmetic in nature or at least such as suggested by this thread.

I'm biased, though. I recently had my eyeballs zapped. It was hardly for reasons of vanity... I had this astigmatism like-whoa.

The past couple times I went to get my eyes checked, it was mentioned that cosmetic surgery for my eyes could potentially be covered by insurance. I can't really tell or not, but the 'blobs' may be blocking my peripheral vision. I didn't bother looking into it any further but once I'm up and working again like a functioning member of society, I'll check it out some more.

Hair removal would be my first and probably only thing I'd want done.

Unless you count lasik.

MSD

This reminds me, I want to check if botox to address excessive sweating is covered by my insurance. Even if I bend over to get something under a desk, I break a sweat. I know being fat contributes, but that can't be the sole cause. The worst part is that I have fine hair and after a minute or two of being sweaty, it's all clumped together and looks like I haven't showered. I keep a hairbrush in my desk and can brush it so it looks OK, but it's really annoying and I'm not always near my desk.

Same. Lasik would also be nice, but I look weird without my glasses.

I've had lasik. Best money I ever spent. I'd probably also do laser hair removal. Gawd, I hate shaving. After that? Maybe some of the less invasive things like fillers and botox. Other than that, I'm good.
