is that the same as stroking?

If you have something done and it makes you feel better about yourself, then it's all good. If nobody notices, it doesn't mean you don't look different, it just means that you have always been ok in everyone else's eyes but your own!  Surely?  (well I know what I meant to say, but maybe I didn't say it right)  I'll shuttup now ! 

I understand perfectly

I get ya!

Thank you Fairfax.       Proper champion of you to say that!  

Eh up Tiddly - did your avatar have a trip to the cosmetic clinic

Thanks slimfern I'd hate to offend anyone who has felt the need to have a 'procedure' done for whatever reason! It's all done down to self esteem mostly,  as long as it's not a ridiculously over exxxxxxagerated boob job! IMHO they never look natural.      

Fairfax...... my new  av is all me!    

I have

     .... say no more

People have some funny ideas about PS ..... Obviously it wouldn't suit everyone .... but each to thier own imo ..... I'm very happy with mine

I would like to be surgically joined at the hip with James Marsters, does that count

It may mean wearing some very kinky fetching undercrackers...but yeah!

Surely that would make the secs bit difficult.

I have plenty of imagination

Me too.....bloody marvelous innit!

Oh yes

Are you happy with it now?

Could be a slight problem if you'd want to go to the Ladies' at the same time he'd need to visit the Gents'   

I'm considering it. I've lost a fair amount of weight but still have a tummy that's not shifting , I'm seriously considering a tummy tuck if exercise doesn't shift it. It is a last resort though cos I'm a wimp.

I had them for breathing difficulties rather than asthetic unfortunately but it's not a BAD nose

If you do decide to go through with it make sure you are sure (if that makes sense). My Mum had a tummy tuck after having my twin brother (who were 8lbs and 8lbs 8 and stretched her tummy to buggery) and she said it was agony far worse than childbirth

Yeah I've heard it's agony. It would deffo be a last resort for me. I'm desperately trying to lose it through diet and exercise but so far it's not shifted. I have a little more weight to lose so I hope that works.

Sorry sweetie I don't want to scare you (I could be wrong but I think you are quite young) and I wouldn't want to see you hurting yourself

I'm sure you are doing really well hon!

My Sis in Law had the procedure done a few years ago, I remember the agony she went through.
I'm not that young, I'm 37     I just want a flat tummy. I can dream Lol.

If it gets to the stage where I can't fix something with lotions/potions and exercise then hell yeah I'll have cosmetic surgery. Boobs, teeth, face, stomach. I am actually thinking of teeth whitening now

Why did I think you were early 20s Tigi?

I dunno, my immaturity?

I must be about 12 then

i think it's more to do with all the pink

I hate pink really

Lets get something sorted here.Plastic surgery is what surgeons do to correct things caused by injury etc like burns and birth disfigurement.Cosmetic surgery is done electively by patient when patient wants enhancement of some sort.
Tigi,they are now doing mini tummy tucks,.The full tummy tuck involves the muscles,whereas the mini tuck is only to  lipo the fat and remove sagging skin.So should be a lot less painful,as it's the muscle involvement that causes the pain.

I had my laser eye surgery if that counts.. Best thing i ever did in my life

James, can I ask you something about laser eye surgery?  You know when you have glasses, your prescription changes every so often.  So after surgery, do your eyes continue to change, and if so, do they have to do another operation?  Sorry to bombard you with questions, but I've always wondered about this.

I had my bumpy nose done. No-one noticed the difference, but the main thing is, I did!

Having seen (and participated in) most plastic surgery procedures, I think I can put up with what I have.

Although it would be nice to have my nose straightened and shortened a bit...

Sarum, I've watched nose jobs on telly too, and it's hideous
Was still worth it though.

I'd love to get my big nose sorted out.

Oh, certainly; the results are usually very good, and the patients are very satisfied,,,,but I think it's one of those situations where a little inside knowledge isn't necessarily a good thing...

I'd seen all that business with the mini circular saw, and it still didn't put me off

I had a mole removed from my face a few years back. It wasn't cancerous but was growing and looked awful. The dermatologist who examined me said that they could remove it on the NHS but I would have to wait about a year which I did.

I don't think I would ever have cosmetic surgery unless I had something serious like burns etc but I would have laser hair removal if I could afford it as excess hair is the bane of my life.
Edit:  Sorry should just clarify I mean I wouldn't want to go under the knife and have boobs, fat removal etc done. That's just me, good luck to anyone who wants surgery to improve how they feel about themselves

Veggie
My sis-in-law has a bit of that, due to her polycystic ovaries. It's no fun at all.

It's the hammer and chisel that gets to me...

 I've had that, Veggie; it's definitely worth it, but it's not comfortable, and (as you noticed) it's very expensive...I was paying £180 an hour for mine.
