I know cosmetics has some form of importance to everybody. I am interested in knowing everybody's point of view on this. I have often wondered at what lengths people have gone to "improve" their appearance or at least help them feel better about themselves and positive self image. Sometimes I have even laughed to myself at what "cosmetic" changes people have done, IE nose job/ other facial cosemetic surgery, botox, tummy tucks, breast augmentation, or other surgeries to help their apperance (in that person's point of view).
No, I have not had cosmetic surgery myself, but I guess I don't feel as critical anymore towards those who do. When I think about it, I guess I've spent exhorbitant amounts of money myself on "cosmetics" that in some way or another had positive affect on my self Image such as paying >4,000$ for braces for a great smile, >5,800$ to get "mini" power bte HA's, not to mention all those monthly gym membership fees. Now I want LASIX eye surgery.
OK now, with all that being said, WHAT IS YOUR OPINION of all this? I know there is lot of grey area when discussing cosmetics. As well as those that are quick to say "I don't need to do anything because if [they] have problem with me, that's their problem." Nobody can tell me they don't look in mirror and think of something they would like done, or are proud of something they have done for their appearance. Please share your opinions as well as things you have done for your own cosmetic appearance.
