Cosmetic surgery debate

A friend of mine has been fighting an uphill battle to get her 44HH breasts reduced - the weight of her breasts has caused her to suffer chronic back problems. She is only 5ft and is in pain. After three years her doctors are still telling her that she does not, in their opinion, have anything to be so `worked up' about. I would like a nose job, but I would never get it done on the NHS as I see it as a blatant waste of NHS resources - my nose does not make me physically ill, nor does it physically inhibit how I live. In my opinion, anyone wanting to have cosmetic surgery to make them look younger or feel better about themselves should be made to live for a week with nothing but Michael Jackson's face staring back at them.

Plastic surgery is harmless
Well I'm someone who, if I had the money, would stand naked in front of the doctors and say `start from the top and work down!' Some may think that I have real problems with how I look, I don't, I just think that medicine/surgery has come a long way and as doctors are able to make you feel better about how you look why not go for it? If I never get cosmetic surgery will it hamper my life? No. If I do, will it make me feel better about myself? Perhaps. I've already had Botox treatment for frown lines and when they come back I will be going back for more. It makes me feel better, and harms no one. So in my opinion if you can afford it and want it, go for it.
