Would you have cosmetic surgery?

[Juniper]

I could stand to lose about 30 pounds, but that's not a surgical procedure. Dental work isn't either, really, unless you're talking implants, and I could use some of that too. I'd like to get those metal fillings removed; mercury in the amalgam and all that.

If there were a way to fix the bags beneath my eyes, I'd have it done. But there's a cashier I see all the time in the grocery store who apparently had this done and instead she has four symmetrical, puffy scars around her eyes. Now, if that were me, I'd have sued that doctor and ended up with enough money that I wouldn't have to be working as a cashier at the grocery store.

As it stands, no, I wouldn't have cosmetic surgery. But if I had a flaw like a cleft palate, hook nose, or other serious deformity, I probably would. You only go around once in this world; might as well make the best of it!
