Do u think if u had plastic surgery u'd feel more confident

[TommyB]

I think it depends on the person.If you have always wished you had a smaller nose or bigger breasts(two popular ones) then of course it would add confidence.You in your mind no longer sense that problem area that has always drawn your attention away from a conversation.In fact you may even flip that into a feeling of wanting to display your new found looks,and actually prolong a conversation to make sure they get some stage time.

If its not something that has ever bothered you,but youre considering it because it may draw in attention,then I cant see how it would work.You didnt care about it before,so youre not going to care for it now.

I had a front tooth chip in half recently.I am going in to get it fixed asap,because well not only is it sharp and annoying now,but I find myself only thinking of it being chipped when someone talks to me.They are telling a joke,and im trying as hard as I can to keep from smiling or laughing.So absolutely in my case getting that fixed would greatly increase my confidence.Not because I have nice teeth again though,but instead because there is no area of me demanding attention.

So yea I can see where wanting nothing to stand out would be comforting.

Oh yeah, for sure~
I plan to get braces once I'm making enough money to do so.
I was supposed to get them when I was 12 but we didn't have the money for it--- infact; that was the very last time I ever saw a dentist. haha
I'll be an adult with braces and proud to be so.

Same here.
Braces are freakin expensive!

YAY adults with braces!

But it wont be you anymore, and maybe that's the point people see in it.. but i just don't know how you can feel confident in something that isn't you. I guess each to their own, but i wouldn't do it, even though there is alot i don't like about myself, i think the key is to learn to be comfortable in your own skin - somehow.

 

[GhoulsNightOut]

I was actually thinking about this a week ago, and no, it wouldn't make me feel more confident. Even if everything turned out the way I wanted, all I'd keep thinking is "This isn't really how I look like", which would probably make me more depressed.

 

[Mellah]

Yes, for sure. I just hope i wouldn't get addicted to it like many people do.

 

[TheSanctuarian]

If I could, I would;
- brown-blue Heterochromia
- Natural Grey Hair (classy grey)
- get rid of [some] freckles
- shrink to 5"9
- smaller ears and nose
- smaller head XD
- not-so-pale skin
and less gummy smile.

When I look in the mirror, I am literally disgusted but that's all mental. Getting work done may rid me of a specific problem, but it won't eliminate all of them and because of that, I find cosmetic surgary completely futile. Until I'm able to find a peace within myself, I'll never be sated no matter how much I try to fix my appearance.

 

[simpsons2007]

I think if I had some plastic surgery it might make me feel a bit better about the way I look on the outside.

But I don't really think it would help me in the long run. As it would not really change how I feel on the inside. Nothing can change how I really feel inside.

I am what I am and nothing will ever change that! Not even having plastic surgery done.

 

[MaliceInWickedland]

Honestly, no. I see no point in making yourself look physically appealing to the world if that's the only reason people will approach you like a normal human being. One thing is to be ugly, but another is to be artificial. I'd rather be disappointed in my appearance than who I am as a person. More importantly, I want to be appreciated by people for who I am on the inside, not the outside.

Our appearance is just the shell of our being, an insignificant part of us that most people believe to be significant, which is wrong. Why should what we are on the outside matter? It's inner beauty that should be adored the most, but not in this world. A person could look like Quasimodo and have the personality of a saint, yet people would still treat that person like an unwanted insect. A person could have the face of a model and the personality of the devil himself yet be worshipped like a God. That kind of logic is what pisses me off the most about our society.

 

[kawaiiKATIE_xo]

i think i would personally feel better about myself if i could tweak a few things, but that will have to wait until i get a job and save up the money!

 

[Kiwong]

I wouldn't mind to get some wings then I could fly.

 

[Fighter86]

Yes definately, its a pity plastic surgery is such an expensive persuit. It not something that might help everyone, but seeing much of my insecurity is from how I look, surgery would definately benefit me.

 

[MollyBeGood]

I think it's pretty gross if you don't need it for real reasons(an accident or injury). To make your boobs bigger or lips fatter or butt implants all that stuff just makes my stomach turn. Natural is always the way to go. Your true beauty is inside and looks fade folks.

 

[pebblesdundee]

No .

I'm in the same boat. I find unnecessary plastic surgery completely off-putting. I guess if it makes you happy, go for it. But I have to wonder what the real reason behind it is and if it will truly make you happy. I don't think I would ever do it unless I had some sort of accident. I'm not the prettiest girl to look at, but I'm me and and I'm okay with me. I kinda like me. I want to look like me, not like someone else.

yeah that's great to hear What scares me is if you have some of these things implanted and then the rest of your body ages naturally and you have this scary set of huge fake boobs for example on a body that the rest is doing what it's supposed to do with age. Pretty much everyone in Hollywood. There are going to be some pretty freaky old people out there LoL

 

[Srijita52]

Nah...I wouldn't go that far,though I do use make up to hide my flaws but that's why it was invented right?But honestly,I feel like even if I was the prettiest person on Earth I would still be really insecure/unconfident.Looking good does help to an extent but I think in the end its all about better skills & self acceptence.

 

[Beyond Timid]

Nope. Plus I think I'm pretty decent looking already.

 

[Kat]

It may help to some extent but I doubt it would be a cure. I wouldn’t judge a person negatively if they had it done because the main thing is who they are on the inner regardless of what happens to their outside.

 

[Invisibleman]

mmm I dont know if I would or not.I think it would be a confidence booster in the short term of things but in the long run I think it would be depressing,I would look in the mirror and know that its not the real me.

I mean sure id like some things touched up like for example my jaw is stupidly unsymmetrical, one side sticks out more than the other and one side is super defined and the other isnt.
And id want some better skin I guess.I used to have perfect skin but I boxed for a number of years and it made my face so scarred and rugged. other then that I dont think I would want major surgery.
