Yeah, I guess it makes sense if they do it for themselves… you know, if it makes them feel more comfortable in their own skin (pun unintended.)

Actually I’ve known a very career conscious woman who went ahead with altering the shape of her nostrils, just because she said it made her feel confident when she was speaking at corporate meetings, seminars, etc. I don’t think she had any emotional issues attached to it.

But then, on second thoughts, I think even the celebs might not have any problems dealing with a ‘false’ image of themselves — just because they’re so used to living through the eyes of the public.

And oh yeah we all have physical flaws… and some of us, even more disturbing mental flaws. I wish they’d find a way to fix the mental flaws…

Thank you for adding value to this post!

As for the rest? ‘Do they really feel great about their appearence after such surgery? maybe-maybe not, but if society keeps telling them constantly that they have to maintain a certain look in order to justify the admiration they get from us, then why would they not do it especially when they’re in a business where looks seem to be the most important factor to keeping a job.

We all have physical flaws – personally, I’d rather keep mine. At least their real, lol.

Take care;

Thank you for writing about the lesser known hazards of breast implants.

But what I don’t quite follow is how (that is, if at all) the men and women who get under the knife feel when they get rave reviews about their looks in the Press or elsewhere. Do they really feel great that they look more beautiful with an altered nose or lip job?

When someone tells them, “Oh my, you’re beautiful!” ….

….. what they’re really saying is ….

“Oh my, your plastic surgeon is so skilful!”
