Men & Women - thoughts on plastic surgery and your partners?
Would you date someone who had cosmetic surgery previous to meeting you? What if they hid it from you for a long time? If you're married/in a serious relationship would you be okay with your partner getting cosmetic surgery? Why or why not? Would YOU ever get cosmetic surgery?? I read an article about this last night and it's got me curious. I'll weigh in with my own opinion now - Personally, I would never get it done unless medically neccesary, or to replace something I lost through medical procedure (mastectomy, or something) And I would also never like my partner to get it, unless medically neccesary. And he feels the same about it. Confidence is sexy. And if someone so self concious that they'd go through all that and take the risks to change it, it's a turn off. Sure some people can get one procedure and be 100 happy - but I think a lot of people have deep seated esteem issues that no surgery will ever fix and they keep getting surgery and it never works. Like they say, how can you expect someone to love you, if you can't love yourself!

- Maybe they needed it for them and are ashamed thats why they didnt say anything, it should really matter unless they had some serious problem that could be passed down to a kid.
- I would not want my husband to get cosmetic surgery for any part of his body--even those parts that aren't perfect. If he really wanted it and it was a self esteem thing, I would have his back 100% and of course support his decision. I would not have plastic surgery unless it was of the reconstructive type.
- no i would not date someone that has had plastic surgery.and no i would not be ok with my husband getting plastic surgery. i think you should stick and be happy with what God gave you. and no i would never get it either.
- It really is no big deal. If the person feels they need it and can afford the procedures then why not. They are just wanting to improve what already is good!
- Well, I suppose it depends. Technically, my husband and I have both had plastic surgery, but for what is considered medical reasons. I had a breast reduction a little over a year ago, paid for by my insurance company. My husband completely supported my decision, and we both think is was the best thing to do. Besides the physical effects on my body, it really killed my self-esteem. Clothes never fit right, I was teases all growing up, and as a woman ogled by men. It was terrible. Now, I have much more confidence. If, however, something happens and my husband and I are no longer together, and I have to begin dating agin, I would absolutely tell the person when the right time came. The fact of the matter is, if they ever saw me naked, they's be able to tell. I scarred REALLY bad, and knew I would going into the surgery. My husband also knew this, and he's ok with the scars. Frankly, I look like I've been a tragic farming accident. So, I'd definitely have to warn a guy before getting naked! As for my husband, he apparently was born with a cleft palate. He actually didn't find this out until AFTER we were married, so I can't blame him for not telling me. All I can tell him is it's a good thing we aren't having kids because those things are genetic! I also found out AFTER we were married that my husband had to wear leg braces for 5 years as a small child because he was extremely bow-legged. Again, information that might be important if you are going to BREED with someone. As for my husband getting actual plastic surgery, he has considered one procedure. I think, if he REALLY wants it, that's fine. I'm sure we all have things about ourselves that we'd like to cahnge. I don't think I could be with someone who gets tons of plastic surgery though. It shows a deep insecurity, and extreme vanity that I find to be a turn off. I'd defititely be upset if I found out the person I married had a nose job, calf implants, and ear lift, and tons of liposuction. You should come forward with that kind of information for sure.
- There is stuff I want that my wife thinks I am crazy for but if we had the money she wouldn't mind. She wants a boob job because she says she has a hard time getting clothes to fit. I like her breast the way they are but I wouldn't care if she got one. If it makes them feel better about themselves than I think it is fine. If it is because you don't like something about them than it is a problem because you should love them for who they are.
- Myself Personally No I would Never have Cosmetic surgery, I Have never had it before. The Reason being for me is that i am happy with the way i look, I am who i am and i don't need any cosmetic Surgery just to keep up with the jone's so to speak Situation would have to be dire for me to even consider something like that like bieng burned and doing skin grafting something like that and even then i am not sure. But it wouldn't be for something like i wanna look as young as i once was. I mean that's life. I'm not as young as i used to be I may not look like one of those skinny runway models but ya know what that's ok with me i am a beautiful woman and i don't need all that just to feel attractive. I'm Maybe just another girl but i am confident. As to whether My partner were to get it it would really all depend on the situation. If it was just oh i don't look as young as i used to then NO. But Honestly I wouldn't want him to get plastic surgery For anything He's Still As Sexy to me as the day i met him more than 15 years ago Prior to meeting me that's one thing but if they lied about it I don't know if i could to be honest with you. Maybe i could Maybe not I don't know. Partially is that i have never been faced with that. But if it's so right for them to do why lie about it Good Question I agree with Magic 8 Ball
- I would be ok with it if they felt they needed it. (to an extent). If they started looking like Michael Jackson...we'd have a problem. Thats when it goes to far. I've thought about having different stuff done, and its always been because of bad self esteem. The top thing I looked into was Gastric bypass, but I've never done it and probably never will. Only because I think I would be ashamed, almost like I "cheated" to success. Other people really do need the help though, or have other reasons they get the surgery. I was watching discovery and a woman had something that was called a vampire tumor? and it was on her neck/face. She got it removed and had some plastic surgery to cover up scaring and part of her cheek and mouth. So you see my point? ANYWAYS....thats what I say.
