so what are peoples' honest opinions about going under the knife? Would you do it? and if so what would you have done?

Depends on if it's corrective or aesthetic. I think you need a shrink before you consider the latter.

that depends upon the person. If it will make them feel more confident about themselves, or improve their self-esteem, then I agree with it.(purely elective surgery) If it just to improve upon your perceived "sexiness", then it is a waste of money and time

If a person wants to have cosmetic surgery, that is his or her decision, one that should not be judged so harshly by those who may not feel the need to have cosmetic surgery. Getting braces... that's cosmetic. Getting teeth bleached... that's cosmetic. Having your hair dyed... that's cosmetic. Certainly these procedures don't involve going under the knife, but these cosmetic procedures are generally safe and contribute to improved self-esteem for thousands of people. If it makes you feel better about yourself, go for it.

just for aesthetic reasons, pure vanity if you want to look at it that way. It seems that such value is put on beauty these days.

Ive seen Cosmetic Surgery get out of hand ,and I have to say if you havent got scars or something like that anywhere, then just leave everything where it is and be happy with what you got.

don't need surgery myself, but if there was something I didn't like and thought it would make me feel better, I wouldn't think twice about having something done. In the same light, I don't think I would look down or think badly of anyone who had something done.
