Are you disgusted with plastic perfection?

Question by onlythelonely: Are you disgusted with plastic perfection?
I saw Heidi Montag on the cover of People today and I didn’t know who she was — I honestly couldn’t recognize her. I’ve never seen the Hills or whatever has made her famous, but I was disgusted and upset with her. I can’t understand what was so wrong with her, she wasn’t ugly, but I guess that’s what everyone thinks if they don’t look like Megan Fox (who’s had surgery). There were pictures of her husband in the hospital with her, maybe that’s why she’s so upset inside, he doesn’t love her. How could he if he’d let her do that to herself?
Something like that has got to be the worst form of self mutilation.
I’m not saying that everyone who’s gotten plastic surgery hates themselves and has ruined themselves, that’s not true. Breast augmentations and lip injections aren’t wrong, but when you do it for the wrong reasons it’s terrible. I would never be able to bring myself to get a breast augmentation or a tummy tuck, because I love my body, but if I said, “I love my breasts, but I think that would be something I’d really be happy with doing, not to please anyone else but myself,” then okay. If I wanted to be ‘perfect’ and was getting a boob job once a month and was changing myself constantly, I wouldn’t be happy and that’d be a wrong reason.
I probably will get plastic surgery when I’m older, around 50. I might get my breasts lifted a little bit, or maybe if for some reason I gained a lot of weight and then lost it and had extra skin or a really nasty mark I might get some to fix it, but the point of that surgery would be to preserve the body I’ve already been given, not to change it, just to keep closer to the way it was in my youth.
I crush on older men, so maybe I can see the sexiness of a few fine lines or a smile that’s a little deepened, but I think it’s natural to let myself age, I’ll still find myself beautiful because it’ll still be just the way my body is, and that’s what being healthy is for.
But seriously, can women not see the beauty in all shapes and sizes? Stretchmarks can look a little sexy and rugged in the right places, breasts are just as sexy when they’re perky and small and not needing a bra is a bonus, a large nose or squinty eyes (I’m hungarian and I used to hate my eyes) are just part of ethnicities and are real, raw features to be proud of.
I just got so upset today when I saw that magazine, that’s such a bad influence and I feel sorry for Heidi for feeling the need to change herself like that. I’m not saying all plastic surgery is bad, or all women who get boob jobs are shallow, or all women who try to fix their squinty eyes are ashamed of their background – that’s definately not true, but when they do it to be ‘perfect’ it pisses me off.
Huge boobs, bleached hair, bee-stung lips, cat eyes or deer eyes, size zero, is not perfect.

    Yes, but please calm down, that’s too long!!

  • ¢σℓσя:

    I would never get plastic surgery. I have no respect for ‘fake’ women.

  • Mulatto:

    way too much for me to read.
    yes, i’m sick of it all. It’s so SAD that people do those things.
    they need to spend their money on helping the world instead of being concerned with their looks

  • x1yofuzzy1x:

    also not reading this novel.
    but to answer the title. yes, but theres a lot worse stuff to be worrying about

  • Carl Fredrickson:

    well i guess it’s good for certain things like if someone get’s into a car wreck and their face gets messed up and they need reconstructive surgery. but i agree people go over board with it, i mean just look at dolly parton she like 75 percent plastic i think haha. but in all seriousness people need to be happy with their flaws because that is what makes them special. think about it how boring would it be if we all looked like super models.

    btw who is heidi motag?

  • Anna:

    Who cares?
    Celebrities are under the lime light THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO LOOK PERFECT AT ALL TIMES
    Our society has unrealistic ideals for feminine beauty

  • Roz:

    I remember watching the beauty contests on TV with my parents, but now they should just show large photographs of the contestants which the plastic surgeons should stand next to. The plastic surgeons should be crowned as best plastic surgeon of the universe because none of the girls were born like that. I think that they should not allow any of the beauty contestants to compete if they’ve had any surgery done other than purely for medical threatening surgeries and similar issues. What does everyone else think???

  • Old man:

    No. That’s why we live in countries where people are free to do what they want. I hate plastic surgery for beauty reasons but my plastic surgeon friend loves it, he has made a fortune out of it

  • xXxSTEELExXx:

    i scrolled down after the first paragraph and was like really is this really that important that you need to write a fuckin book

  • Thius:

    It is ridiculous.It comes down to priorities.None of my business though.

  • ♥♥Bree♥♥:

    Personally, I think she looks terrible and bad. She looked better before, now I would be afraid to light fire near her because she might melt with the plastic. But that is Hollywood for you and the world we live in, besides perfection is in the eye of the beholder to me she isn’t that attractive to me if she went under the knife or not so “her ideal perfection” is lost of me

  • Cordi:

    You know why I hate plastic surgery? Because it makes even naturally beautiful women like myself feel flawed because people who were born less attractive than us (as God intended them to be) can just go get a nip and tuck and end up looking like they are actually MORE attractive, which is a LIE and they are dirty cheaters who can’t accept the cards they were dealt.

  • Vǿℓίм Tέ:

    Yeah Heidi Montag looks gross. I have no idea why she even had surgery the first time. She was pretty. Now she looks like a rich 45 year-old. I’d never get surgery because i’m beautiful the way I am and when I’m older and my body changes I doubt i’ll care because as I said, I’ll be old.

  • Anna:

    Honestly she looks sickening if you ask me and she is just obviously saying “God I do not like the way you made me so I’m going to fix myself the way I want to be”. Very sad.

  • Blackice:

    Well people strive for perfection because the media tells us all how we are “supposed” to look, but im not disguisted with it. Thats not the only problem. Look at how many people told you “im not readin all that, that’s too long for my tiny brain to comprehend”. What is this world coming to?
