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.
