Has anyone had or is thinkning about getting plastic surgery? If so, what are you thinkning of?

When the time comes, I might get my eyes done. I've had laser treatments to reverse sun damage and rosacea. Also enjoyed a shot of botox or restlyn here & there. I'm not opposed to cosmetic procedures, but I don't understand some people's obsession with them.

I sometimes joke that I want to get my crooked nose fixed (injury at birth), but I'm only ever joking.

I'm planning on getting a series of chemical peels this winter and maybe some more laser vein removal for my rosacea.

you're 20 yrs old. are you thinking about cosmetic surgery?

Just make sure you don't go cheap...

That first photo might be the scariest thing I've ever seen.

Don't forget 75-year-old Joan Rivers. Her before and after shots:

I'd get a rhinoplasty. The ridge on my nose is too big but not like I'd go JACKO over it. I just want to refine it.

Oh my, that was the best laugh therapy I've had in months.

Thanks Doc

The first picture is Jocelyn Wildenstein. Apparently her billionaire husband loved wild animals (like the lions and tigers found on his private game reserve) so during a low point in their marriage Jocelyn decided to make herself look like a "wild cat" to spice up their marriage. So I read somewhere.

PS Joan Rivers is FABULOUS.

I have been under the plastic surgeons knife a few times. Had no option

I think it depends on what you want done.

I am DEFINATLEY getting a rhinoplasty, testosterone therapy, personal trainer, and i am not opposed to getting more things done as i age...dont get me wrong i like the way i look, but i DONT love the way i look, so in other words if there is anything that you are not happy about, whats wrong with wanting to change it?...i feel that there is always room for improvement... personally, I have ALOT OF IMPROVING TO DO:!physically&emotionally)

I don't have feelings toward elective cosmetic plastic surgery one way or another, except to note that there seems to be only about a 50% chance of improved aesthetics, based on what I've seen (admittedly an unscientific sample). I have a theory that there's a certain dynamic between some doctors and patients that "pushes the envelope" a bit too far. I think the best plastic surgery is the one where people say... "hey, you look good -- did you do something to your hair?"

My favorite quote on the topic is from John Waters, when asked how he felt about Los Angeles. He said he often was frightened of people's faces because "they look like Picasso paintings."

So if you're going to do it, spend the money and get the best!
