Your plastic surgery isn't fair to your kids, amirite?

FFS. So if an adult wants plastic surgery to feel better about themselves they should not do that because it might make others feel bad?

That is not a problem with plastic surgery that is a problem with your mum.

I didn't say "others", I said your own kids. Completely different considerations.

By your logic men shouldnt work out because it might make their kids feel bad for being fat

Nor should we dye our hair! Or well, do anything to improve how we feel about ourselves…

You're not thinking of it from a child's perspective. You can choose to take plastic surgery as lightly as reversible things like dying your hair or losing weight, but be prepared for the impact it will have on a partially formed psyche.

The average kid doesnt even comprehend that… most ed start from school… ed are an addiction. They are addicted to the change of their body. When they look in the mirror they see fat and also the weight they lost at the same time. Its like the bodybuilders who take steroids, they see that they are huge but they are also addicted to the each mm of growth

99 percent of ppl getting plastic surgery look pretty normal, why do you think someone's parent looking slightly different one day would have such a negative impact on a child

But working out is really good for you whereas having someone slice up your face and break bones and stuff isn't so much

Okay steroids can go into the same category as invasive cosmetic surgeries. Doing a few pushups and eating the calories to match is just good for you though...

No, it gives little girls the idea that they have to look like that and get surgery. Especially a mom with a daughter. That creates a whole issue with self esteem and body dysmorphia

I mean not necessarily. It's only a bit of plastic surgery. She could just tell her daughter she didn't like her nose. Not everyone likes everything about themselves.

Yeah, but there's other ways to change that, unless it's really dramatic. I hate my nose, but I wouldn't consider it because of risks and I can just wear makeup and try different hairstyles.

Yes. As an adult, you should care about your family more than yourself.

I don't know, there's just something about paying someone to slice and reconstruct your body parts that feels different

In the end of the day it is the same logic

by Ok-Economy 1 week ago

I mean, if that's how you feel, you do you

Hmm I'm getting plastic surgery because of the damage having kids did to my body… I tell you, it doesn't send any message to my kids other than to care for your body better when you're pregnant. How my kids are "supposed" to feel about their young bodies, that haven't endured childbirth??? Well I'd hope pretty bloody good! My issues with my body aren't my kids issues! So let's not pretend they are nor do I put my issues on to my kids!

You don't have to intentionally put your issues on your kids for them to be silently influenced by your issues. We're not born with mom bod. It's something that women can choose to avoid if we really don't want it, but a feature that you're born with is completely different.

by Gus55 1 week ago

No judgement towards moms! I love moms and tip a hat to any woman brave enough to give birth. I'm saying women who prioritize their appearance super highly can choose to adopt or surrogate or not have kids at all, as opposed to features you're born with and didn't get to choose for yourself.

by Gus55 1 week ago

Same! Hearing your parents belittle someone else still teaches you that whatever qualities that person has, they must be bad. And if you happen to have similar qualities…

Claims to be non-judgmental but continues on to tell others how they should run their lives. The lack of self awareness is high.

Well, that's different because it sounds medically necessary. We're talking about BBLs, breast enhancements, facial surgery, etc.

by Practical_Stage_4882 1 week ago

You are not the OP so you do not get to tell everyone else what 'we' are talking about.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

Well the alternative would be that medically necessary plastic surgeries are a bad influence on kids. Like what are you even saying? What else would OP be talking about?

by Practical_Stage_4882 1 week ago

I am saying you are not in charge here. LOL

Who gets to define what is vs what isn't medically necessary? Is pinning kids ears back to avoid being called Dumbo at school medically necessary? At what level of flatness is a boob job deemed medically necessary vs not? In my opinion any time that plastic surgery is done for vanity or in pursuit of perfection it's wrong. But if done because of feeling psychologically upset by one's looks then I support it.
