    My mom got under-the-muscle breast implants. She told me that, for three days afterward, she couldn't take a breath without feeling like her chest was going to split apart (which it probably was).

    Then she chirpily told me that if I want to do it, I totally should, because it was so worth it.

    Thanks, Mom, but I'll stick to chicken cutlets. At least I don't have to take Percocet just to breathe when I wear them. #plasticsurgery

    Meh, I bought "She Comes First" at the bookstore. With my boyfriend. Who hid behind a shelf when he realized what I was doing. I'd just make sure I went to the oldest cashier there. I usually assume that they've already seen all the stupid shit people could buy. #plasticsurgery

    @Zombie Ms. Skittles: LOL, good strategy! When I worked at a book store, yes, I saw people buy aaaaallllll sorts of things. If I can keep a straight face while ringing up hardcore BDSM gay novels (regardless who bought it - and believe me it was a lot of different kinds of people) I can ring ANYTHING up. (But I did give the side-eye whenever anyone under the age of 65 bought Rush Limbaugh.)

    I wouldn't hate on anyone for getting plastic surgery. I might hate on their reasons, like for example a teenager getting implants because she wants to get boys' attention or anything along those lines. I feel like whatever you want to do to your body is your business, and if you have the dough and the desire to correct any part of yourself that makes you unhappy, by all means knock yourself out. But as far as all the cut-rate butchery going on these days...Oh my God. It's horrifying that some women will jump on a "deal" and end up dying because of it. Like, for example: Dentists going to hour-long seminars and getting "certified" to do Botox or fillers or what have you. Or the cases of shady fly-by-nighters-like as in people who fly in from South America or wherever, who have no medical anything, and inject stuff into people, take their money, and then roll out of the country. I was just recently reading a collection of horror stories/cautionary tales and they seriously made my brain hurt. One woman ended up going into cardiac arrest on the table during one of these particular deals and died. During the autopsy the ME tried to identify the substance she'd been injected with, to no avail. Basically this woman was pumped full of a mystery substance and died as a result. Gruesome factor aside, I find it particularly horrifying that these woman, many of whom end up maimed and ravaged by infection, if not dead, are willingly subjecting themselves to these procedures in an effort to make themselves more beautiful. This is the ugly part of the beauty myth, and it's just so sad and sort of makes me want to bury my head in the sand and go la-la-la I can't hear you. #plasticsurgery

    @Aesop's Foibles. YES.: We just had a lady here who was busted for injecting industrial grade silicone into the butts of two women. I think one of the women later had kidney failure.

    Can you imagine? Who could possibly think that is a good idea? You use that shit to seal your windows, not give you CoCo-style booty. What ever happened to just doing squats? #plasticsurgery

    Two words, one name "Olivia Goldsmith". From the Wikipedia entry: Goldsmith died as a result of complications from cosmetic surgery. Her final two books were published posthumously.

    She was a fine author. #plasticsurgery

    @Scribblenerd: I don't want to lessen the impact of your comment (all surgeries have very real risks that should be taken under consideration) but I thought Goldsmith had an unforeseen reaction to anesthesia as opposed to any part of the cosmetic surgery.

    However, I agree with the gist of your comment, because I feel that in our tell-all culture, plastic surgery has become so media-saturated that people think it's no different from getting your teeth cleaned. But all surgery is intense. Would you willingly cut a gash 2 inches long into your face, or willingly break your own nose to look more beautiful?

    Surgeons are amazingly skilled, but even successful surgeries cause damage to your body and require lengthy recoveries. It is not a decision to undertake lightly. #plasticsurgery

    But some surgeons think impaired breathing is an acceptable trade-off for aesthetic improvement."

    I got lipo for my 23rd bday (thanks mom & dad - & yes I've discussed this in therapy) & at 32 am living proof that you CAN un-do it by participating in horrid activities like eating on vacation & having a child.

    When my jowls start sagging again and the skin under my eyes isn't taut enough anymore, I just pull everything tighter, chew another stick of gum, and re-paste everything back in place behind my ears. (I can't wear my hair up, but such is the cost of beauty.) #plasticsurgery

    Plastic Surgery is like a terrifying game...how far would you go to....
    ..........be loved
    ..........be accepted
    ...........be beautiful

    Would you
    ........take the risk of dying?
    ........being deformed?
    ........using all your savings?
    ..........take the risk of hating the results?

    The sad thing, is sometimes, a little voice in my head says, 'yes' those risks are worth it.

    Because it is so so hard to be an ugly/unacceptable/older/fat woman in this country, that I can understand why people take the risk. #plasticsurgery

    In Kathy Griffin's autobiography, she talks about how she almost died after getting liposuction because the surgeon accidentally did something that made her unable to drain her bladder. Her urine started to drain into other parts of her body. It sounded absolutely fucking horrifying. #plasticsurgery
