Why Plastic Surgery??

For me, plastic surgery was always going to happen. It was one of many objectives on a long list of things I wanted to experience before I die. Watching shows like “Extreme Makeover” and “The Swan” only fuelled my desire to have my own make over some day. Weird thing is, there was nothing I “REALLY REALLY” hated about my appearance. But obviously there are features about my appearance that have occured with age that I am not happy with, otherwise I would have never gone to this extreme. Overall, my appearance has had no huge negative impact on my life, besides the occasional cringe whilst looking at my double chin in photos. I have never been teased or taunted about any particular physical feature (well except for my receding hair line, but that’s an entirely different story)..and in our older age, my brother and I joke about our genetically inherited double chins…but overall, I was not extremely concerned about my physical appearance. … BUT,  I am sure like many, there are a few improvements I would like to make to my appearance. Aging gracefully is not an option for me :)
  As for morals and taboo’s on Plastic Surgery, well…I don’t have any. Zero. If someone would like to make an improvement to themself, then what is the big deal? Obviously there are limits, and some people do go overboard with plastic surgery (like that Cat Woman). We spend thousands of dollars fixing our cars or homes when they are damaged or age, why should we feel guilty or embarrassed about wanting to fix ourselves!? We are in our own body 24/7. We also have no control over our genetics. And sometimes the gene pool can be cruel. Our appearance, along with persona is a significant representation of our being. Our Avatar. So like I say, I have zero moral ambiguities when it comes to the plastic surgery itself. The technology is available, and has been refined through out the decades, why be a shamed to use it!?
