The only thing I'd get done is to get rid of excess eyelid skin, because I do NOT want droopy eyelids when I'm older.

I HATE droopy eyes :s-smilie:

Them along with FAT eye bags are just awful

Sounds like a very cool job you have there :s-smilie:

LASIK is a no GO! I've read so many stories of blindness :frown:

What about surgery abroad do you get loads of those?

England and Wales courts don't have jurisdiction for surgery abroad, so we don't get them ones. I do insurance work, so all the claims are screened for things like that before they land on my desk. Which is nice.

It is a wonderful job, I love it. Especially the gory bits. Amputations and stuff 0=)

EDIT: Oh and my best friend is an optician and he hates LASIK with a passion as much as I do. Hehe.

Guys will love being with a girl with smaller hands. It'll make their junk look so much bigger :h:

But would it really be satisfying, wondering if it's just an illusion...?

It's a brilliant series c: Basically, it's about a city in the future where everyone gets full-body plastic surgery when they turn 16. And, seeing as it put me off, it turns out everything isn't sunshine and rainbows :wink:

There are three other books in the series, Pretties, Specials and Extras, and they're all well worth a read c:

Sounds cool, I'll give it a read. :smile:

I imagine LASIK isn't good for him...

Does he enjoy dispensing?

I had surgery to correct scoliosis, which made my torso look a lot more normal. There were also medical reasons to have the surgery, but the surgeon managed to get some awesome cosmetic improvement.

I wouldn't get anything else done though.

Haha well I assume so =) He occassionally goes off on one about quantum mechanics and the amazing properties of light. To which I smile and nod and tell him I don't understand a word he's saying.

Yeah he has to deal with people after messed up refractive surgery as well.

I'd love to get my chin reshaped and a nose job.
Unfortunately I don't have £11k sitting around for surgery.

What a horrible thing to go through for that girl... she looks completely different. I'd hate to lose my identity like that... I wouldn't even be able to recognise myself in the mirror!!

I wouldn't have anything done as I'm perfectly happy with my untampered, blemished body and face...

I find it to be a conceited, self-absorbed thing to do.

This exactly, I'm quite happy with my ugly mug thank you very much!!

Another example of before/after surgery:

Nancy Ajram.

And I would make by boobs smaller, to be more in frame with my body.

Has anyone mentioned leg lengthening surgery yet? I'm planning on getting it when I leave university but in the next few years with a lot of the doctors specialising in LL in Europe retiring the cost of LL is expected to go up massively and will eventually result in there being no doctors practising this surgery left in Europe. I think I might go to one of the surgeries in China, which are cheaper and where they have performed this operation on thousands of people successfully.

Here is the first google search result on the subject:

Plastic surgery in China?

Do you want to end up like Wang Bei?

I'd like laser eye surgery but wouldn't want to risk it. Maybe when the technology is even better and the risks are decreased.

The only other thing I would change is my smile so that I can smile with my teeth without looking demented.
