I have just been watching a program on Cosmetic (Plastic) Surgery & it got me thinking.
Botox, Boobs, Noses, Eyes & Ears are common place, but it appears no part of the body cannot have some work done, so a question for guys & girls
1- would you consider cosmetic surgery ?
2- is there any procedure you would not consider ?
3- how much cosmetic surgery is too much ?
4- how young is too young for cosmetic surgery? (Girls as young as 16 are having boob & nose jobs, as birthday presents!!!)
5- Is there an age after which you should not have surgery?

Plastic Surgery
I think we live in a society that is obsessed with body image. One of my favourite books on the subject is Bodies x Susie Orbach. I had the pleasure of meeting her at a conference this past spring. So much of our society is obsessed with appearance and if someone doesn't "fit in" to what society deems as "normal" it is seen as a personal failure. It's a shame, really. We don't know how to embrace our natural beauty and instead are obsessed with trying to find ways to correct or "fix" the "problems" with our natural bodies.
Anyways, to answer your questions:
1) Would I consider cosmetic surgery? Yes, but only if it was a last resort. If other methods did not work, then I would. I wouldn't get bigger tits just for the hell of it, but I would maybe get breast reconstruction if I had breast cancer, etc.
2) Is there any procedure I would not get? Anything that would make me look ridiculously plastic-looking or had extremely high health risks. I would get something that I didn't feel was 100% necessary as a last resort.
3) How much plastic surgery is too much? You hear stories about people that are literally obsessed with plastic surgery. As someone with a psychology background, I've spoken with people with body dysmorphic disorder and the hell they have gone through to keep getting plastic surgery for psychological reasons. In that case, I find the obsession with appearance sad
There is such a thing as too much, definitely. Look at Joan Rivers.
4) how young is too young for cosmetic surgery? To be honest with you, I don't think any form of surgery should be performed on children that is not medically necessary. I don't believe in operating on intersex children before the age of 18, male (nor female!) circumcision, etc. I think we should leave that up to adults to decide... that being persons over the age of 18. Of course it's a different story if a child has a cleft lip, etc., but all other "cosmetic" surgeries or those on genitalia should be a personal choice of someone 18+.
5) Is there an age after which you should not have surgery? Um... as long as the person is mentally competent to make their own decisions, I don't see that as being a problem. If they know the risks that are involved that may go along with being older in age, then it's their choice.

I would have to say no, the only way you would get me under the scalpel is if there was something threatening my health. I'm a firm believer in 'if it's not broken dont try fix it'.
I have seen some horrendous results of plastic surgery with friends and also on tv, that said I have seen some great results but for me and my opinion would be no I would not consider nor have plastic surgery done.

1- would you consider cosmetic surgery ? Yes
2- is there any procedure you would not consider ? Face lift
3- how much cosmetic surgery is too much ? When you look Pete Burns
4- how young is too young for cosmetic surgery? (Girls as young as 16 are having boob & nose jobs, as birthday presents!!!) 16 is too young only if it is for medical reasons
5- Is there an age after which you should not have surgery? That should be a personal choice.
I think only in the event of injury or damage would Possibly want to do it. Not just because I'm was not happy with what nature gave me. A great majority (I know not all) of natural issues can be fixed naturally. That's just me personally.
I think the most major problem with plastic surgery is the ethos of the surgeons. Not all are from the same cloth. The likes of Pete Burns should have never been allowed to go that far. But when you have a few pounds in your pocket you will always find some doctor willing to just about anything.
Or like Mickey Rourke...he wanted to repair some facial damage he received from boxing and ended up looking like Pete Burns' sister. I guess the bottom line for me is only if truly necessary.

have to say no i would not happy the way god made me xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I watched a programme during the week called "The ugly side of beauty" it showed an interview with some 16 year old boys and girls, they all said they felt they needed plastic surgery , from bigger boobs to liposuction, I thought what a shame that they felt at such a young age that they needed plastic surgery.
To me they were all beautiful young people but to themselves there was a sense of self loathing , I just found the whole programme sad , and when they showed the things that go wrong I said to myself , no way I will stay the way I am warts and all .

You've nothing at all that needs fixing up Amber
As for myself i'd be lying if i said the thought had never ever crossed my mind but it's not something i think i could do unless as like Amber said if it was threatening my health then i would have no choice in the matter.
