I'm not sure if you meant me, but when I say "there will always be somethimg," I mean not that there will always be something surgery-related, but that there will always be something physical or otherwise to hate about oneself if help with the root issue isn't sought.

merlin.:
An argument could very well be made that you should solve the root of the issue (i.e., your nose causing you serious anxiety issues), rather than just fixing what's on the surface, because if you don't, you'll always have something.

I agree that that argument could be made, as I said therapy could be one option. And while I don't recommend surgery as a first option when they find something they dislike about themselves, I won't rob them of that option either.
I'm sorry, I didn't really make that distinction in my earlier post. Smile

When you take an appendix out the arguement could be made that you 'wouldn't be you' or when you hang out with a new group of friends, or try a new makeup brand.
Some people don't have plastic surgery to 'look like a slut' but some do it to remove small features they don't like.
I'm not really sure, but I don't really see anything constructive in your post.

Why is it wrong to want to change oneself, whether it be physically or psychologically?

I point to transmen and transwomen who go through operations to look like the opposite sex to which they were born. Are they wrong to cosmetically change themselves just because some people don't think people should change themselves?

It's also interesting to me that you suggest getting surgery to get bigger boobs somehow makes people look like "sluts". Since when was having large breasts a "slutty" thing? That's a pretty big slap in the face to women who have naturally large breasts.

some people aren't happy with having a small breast size and get it upped a few, how does that make them a slut?
