What is your opinion on cosmetic surgeries?

[kelcaine]

I’m really curious to know what people’s opinions are on people getting cosmetic surgeries, and in particular with providers who don this. I personally had a few surgeries just over a year ago, including a tummy tuck to alter my body to look more how I wanted it to, lost weight, and just recently had surgeries on my face and neck.

I’m personally so super happy I worked so hard to save up for these procedures, and almost 2 years into being a provider I don’t look like the same person. I also feel more happy and confident with my appearance now, so I have zero regrets over my surgeries. I have wondered though if any of my past or potential clients may find this to be a turn off at… not that it would change my decisions at all because these are things I have wanted for many years now, and things I wanted… nothing anyone else told me I should do.

I am curious how other fellow colleagues feel on cosmetic surgery as well as those who use our services. I know surgical body alterations, or implants in certain areas may not be appealing to all, but I personally feel if one wants to surgically alter one’s appearance and it is done for themselves first and makes them happy, why not? Your body and face, your life. In the comments please try to refrain from body shaming language.

It is all personal preference. What I prefer and what someone else prefers my not be the same, but if it makes that someone happy with their apperance, go for it.

Plastic surgery is fine. If it makes you feel good, that is terrific. Sometimes people need some help to get to the body image they want. Just remember to love yourself always no matter what.

You should do what makes you happy and give no two fucks what others think.

 

[westwoody]

I also feel more happy and confident

I am happy that you are happy. : )

Some go overboard and mess themselves up. But done well the result can be stunning!

Sometimes it works . . .




And sometimes it does not . . .

Plastic surgery can become an addiction and that is a pity when it is taken too far. But for a lot of women and even some men, it has made their life better. There should be no stigma for those who employ it. And if they go too far, well, I am not inclined to be cruel about it.

 

[luvsdaty]

My opinion is I don't really care 🤷

When done well, it can be quite a morale boost for the person involved and aesthetically pleasing to those viewing the results.

However, the trend of younger and younger ladies getting botox, fillers, and messing with their looks can go off the rails fast. Those things were created for older ladies to look younger. When already younger ladies start in and use them chronically, they can actually age them prematurely, at least to my eye. There are some really cheap providers of these services and some of them are one step above a butcher.

Quite the timing on this post. Last night my fwb and I were watching some trash youtubes etc on her ipad and the topic of WHY? cosmetic surgery is considered by some. She has introduced me to various looks that we have all seen but it may not register as there is so much of it in the celebrity world. The classic Hollywood surgery for women of an age, the cheekbones, the lips, the eyes and so on and on. And this pix came up. For those who have watched the Boyz on Prime, Starlight is the blonde cutie ... Why oh Why would she do this ...




But there are some, where the work is well done, suits the person and makes them happy which in turn shows in how they present. Oh well, who am I to say what floats their boats.

It’s your body, your reasons and your choice. If it’s made you happy then clients and your partner in life will benefit from it as attitude and confidence always shine through any physical trait over time.
I’m not a big fan of cosmetics surgeries myself - either in personal relationships or with SPs. I find (as mentioned earlier) is typically overdone, not done well or unnecessary. But to each their own. I have no doubt you have no issues in the area of attractiveness.

Well said VG.

Botox was a failed chemical weapons experiment. It was an attempt to weaponize botulism. Now used for beauty enhancement.
Just a tidbit of info….

Botulinum toxin is used for many medical treatments, not exclusively beauty enhancements. It is vey toxic with a LD50 ~1-3

On possibly a different context, I used to know a dedicated surgeon who specializes in hand repair surgery.

Unfortunately, I needed 4 surgeries on my hand a number of years ago. I got to know him quite well. On one visit he was very upset and I asked him about it.
He had just lined up his surgeries for the next month and could only get 3 surgeries.
He told me that he couldn't make a go of it like this.
He told me if he wanted to do cosmetic surgery he could be as busy as he wanted. He told me it was all about the money, per usual.

What a fucked up system when people need life changing surgery and have to wait months and even years for it!

It's true. A wing of a hospital dedicated to elective cosmetic surgery can basically fund the rest of the hospital on every single level.
The balance sheets between cosmetic surgery and medical insurance pricing will blow your mind.

A man once told me, "When a person comes in to lot of money they do one of two things. Men start looking for the sports car they've always wanted. Women start looking for the plastic surgery they've always wanted."
To be fair, the rate of young men who suffer from body dysmorphia are almost equal to the rate of young women who suffer from it.

It's a topic that complicated with strong opinions on either side.
My personal ones are

• Cosmetic procedures like Botox and fillers are marketed to women too early. You know it's about the money when they call it "preventative procedures" for 20 year olds.
• A lot of procedures don't make people look younger, they make people look like other people who have had the same procedure.
• BBL's are abominations and medical risk that cater to an audience who have been brained washed to love the excess.
• This is a bit controversial, but potentially consider therapy before a procedure. Having a procedure then finding out your life isn't magically fixed, can just escalate things. Watch a few episodes of "Botched" to see what I mean.
• Do what you want to your body but make sure it's not from external pressures. A lot of people get into a business that all they hear "If you'd only...." And everyone who says that is a sick fuck who's catering to their own fantasies and fetishes.
• After the first procedure, that look will become the new norm, it's easy to escalate things without knowing it. The classic idiom here is "A barber will always say you need a haircut."
• If it's a calculated decision for a bigger income, or something that will drastically improve life, sure. Acknowledge it for what it is.
• A lot of people who do get procedures get them to look the same 5 model faces. It wipes away their individuality. Of the high end escorts that advertise in Vancouver today, I would not be able to tell a number of them apart if it weren't for the tattoos, or lack thereof.

 

[lukom]

Im not for them or against them. Whatever each individual is comfortable with, do it.

 

[Bobert1969]

In moderation, it’s fine. The key to good plastic surgery is looking like it hasn’t been done to begin with.

This!

I think people should do whatever makes them happy, be that getting work done or choosing to have none. I don’t think it’s anyone else’s business what people do with their bodies, and the only opinion that truly matters is yours.

Personally, if I had the money, I would probably want to nip and tuck a few things because I am getting older, but mostly I am pretty happy with how I look. In the past couple of years I’ve spent thousands on dental work that no one can even see, but it made a huge difference to me.

Congrats, you look fantastic!!

I have paid a huge amount on cosmetic dental work that I wish I had had done decades ago. The psychological change was astounding just feeling confident enough to smile at someone.
