I do think some would go under the knife for their spouse. If there is financial stability, family stability, or the old-fashioned “being in love” with one’s spouse, a reason to augment one’s body in one way or another, then they’ll do it. Examples would include breast augmentation or vaginal rejuvenation for women; male enhancement or liposuction for men (to get rid of those “tires” around their midsections).

There certainly are reasons for plastic surgery and related procedures (laser, for example, for burn victims). I see nothing but good news in these advances – as well as procedures which improve quality of life for men, women, and children.

I am concerned by social pressures that impact teens and young women especially. All surgeries carry risks; decisions to undergo the knife are portrayed as commonplace and placebos to social awkwardness, lack of sex partners, low self-esteem and more. Add in pressure from partners, and in my opinion, it’s bad news.

T – so great you’re feeling so much better! And Keith, sounds like your wife underwent surgery that you both felt was necessary for her to be well. That’s very different from a man wanting to “re-sculpt” a woman’s body – or even those surgeons who offer (during consultation) an entire menu of procedures they think the patient needs. May be great for business, but bad for our humanity.

I applaud those physicians who make time for pro bono reconstructive work, as well as those who balance the “beauty business” with medical (and emotional) necessity.

There are reasons other than vanity for cosmetic surgery. It may help you in your career. We have a client, Dr. David Verebelyi, who does zillions of plastic surgery jobs. You should watch some of the videos on his site at http://coloradoskincare.com to find out how it’s changed people’s lives. For example, there’s a segment from MSNBC on how laser technology is being used on 3 sisters who were burned in a fire, now undergoing treatments to significantly improve their scarring. So touching.

I did have a tummy tuck recently and I LOVE IT.

These days, many women my age are having “Mommy Jobs”… aka tummy tuck and breast lift. I think we all want to recover from the stretching and pulling of skin that occured during pregnancy.

I am 5′5″ and weigh 120 lbs. By no means did I do it to lose weight or get thinner. I am also a triathlete and no matter what exercise I did, I could not recover the stretched skin on my stomach. It frustrated me and I kept it hidden.

Two lovers pointed out to me that I kept it hidden. Both of them said to me, “Either you accept how you look or you get it taken care of.”

I wouldn’t say they suggested I get plastic surgery. It was bothering ME and thus bothered THEM that I was bashful about my stomach during sex. But I did take their thoughts to heart and went ahead with the surgery.

I do agree that many people are doing it to be something they are not. But I don’t agree that all cosmetic surgery is bad. I couldn’t have said that a few months ago. However now that I’ve learned more about it, I definitely think its ok.

Geez,
All those 80-year-old people in the retirement homes who are getting married these days are sunk without plastic surgery. How can they possibly have a fulfilling, rewarding sex life if they simply just don’t look the part of our plastic, superficial, Hollywood driven, hedonistic, entertainment oriented culture? Sucks to be them I guess!

my wife had a tummy tuck last year. She did it because her second pregnancy separated her stomach muscles by about three inches and she therefore could not develop those muscles. Her back began to curve because her core was out of whack. So, she did it because she needed her stomach muscles back. The doctor stitched them back together and 8 weeks later she was back to doing some exercise. (she 5 foot 6 120 lbs so it was not done in conjunction with any liposuction or anything stupid like that).

I sorta can’t understand the whole fascination with super skinny people. I like women with a few curves. It all comes down to healthy for me. I like healthy people, people who can do a pull-up and maybe a few push-ups. That’s how I like them

Interesting comments from everyone. Why is it that men think women are not visually inclined? Toga titillation? Hello? OMG, love those thighs, pecs, long legs... (I'm a leg woman... a tennis player's legs, or soccer player's legs... mmm mmm good!) The wimmens just know how to envision a total package! I do agree with DM that if you have a body type you really go for, why go out with someone who is not your body type? Nonsensical. But tons of women - and teens - are getting reconstructed. Would love to hear from some women who have had procedures, and why, and how it's been before and after - if they achieved what they wanted out of it.

I’m not a big fan of cosmetic surgery. But I do have my “type” of woman – slim/fit, nice butt. Women like that turn my head, and so I tend not to chase women who don’t fit that category. There’s nothing worse than being on a date with one woman, and having my head turn for someone else. (And yes, there is more to a woman than her looks, and more reasons to get into a relationship than just to look at someone.)

I would go under the knife for myself…no one else though. If I were with a man who asked me to go under the knife I’d show him the door.

Why would you date someone in the first place if you weren’t satisfied with all the parts and the condition of said parts?

I’m a take me as I am kind of woman and if you are with me I’m going to assume you like who I am…body parts and all.
