Everyone's idea of what is 'perfect' differs. Look at Michael Jackson! Nevermind, its gruesome! There are some things about myself that bug me, but undergoing surgery for them is not in my plans. God made me this way and I have no intention of changing that. Do you think that when some face God, He'll say 'whoa who are you, I didn't make you that way?' LOL |

"Imperfections! Gravity has a way of making our bodies imperfect as we get older. But, cosmetic surgery should not be something people do to give themselves better self-esteem. Self-esteem is more than skin deep."

I've got it Susie! We stand on our heads for a few hours a day and try to reverse some of the 'evil gravity!' |

it's not our bodies ...it's the mind ...imperfections are in others minds ...anyone whose body doesnt "fit in" buy that thought process ...just like drugs or alchol ...surrounding yourself with others who are high on themselves or program yourself through tv and media ...money spent to create a perfect body designed by artificial ingrediants ...feeds the self absorbed part of self ...just another form of vanity in disguise |

Sure. If they are imperfections, and they detract from the quality of life.
But improvements (as opposed to 'fixing what's broke') should only be undertaken when they are expected to improve the quality of life, whether it be physical, mental, or fiscal ('pretty' people do earn more, especially when they deal with the public). This is because all surgery is hazardous and should not be entered into lightly. |

Donna...My best friend was born blind. She is an acomplished pianist and singer and was an evangelist as a young woman. She is now 92 and helping a younger woman start a church. She isn't the most beautiful woman in the world, but she makes everybody smile when they meet her. |

There's certainly a need for plastic surgery.
Burn victims, car accidents, birth defects.
It's a blessing for those who need it.
If it's something you need, and your heart is not in conflict about it, go ahead.
Research for the best you can afford, board certified, and find out about the risks. |

I've spoken to several people who would like to get tatoos and/or birthmarks removed.
I've told them that either "cosmetic surgery" or "laser therapy" are good ways to get that done. |

I agree with RitaH and my heart goes out to Susie (((huggs)). If it's cosmetic surgery, I say no way. If it's something like Susie had, I say YES. My friend has a glass eye and she is a beautiful woman yet she has low self-esteem because of her eye. I can't get through to her that once she decides to accept herself as beautiful as she is with the glass eye, God may never give her her real eye back, but I'm believing for a creative miracle for her. It's been 52 years now and God is never late, amen? |

I was born with an extra thumb. It was removed when I was 10 years old so I would be adoptable. It worked. I was adopted at the age of 11. I wish it had been removed when I was born because the kids made fun of me constantly over that deformity. |

My personal feeling is that it would depend on what the 'imperfection' was. Children born with very prominent ears can be tormented by their peers for years, but some children have died having the operation to pin their ears back. Squints can be corrected easily and some birth marks can be removed. There are many examples such as these. However if you are referring to total vanity surgery I cannot see God approving of that at all. |

If one is really self-conscience about their body and they are considering having surgery done and can afford it, then let them do it. It doesn't what anyone thinks, this is the person's body. This would be their choice. It is no different (other than money) for a person to lay in a tanning bed to get a nice tan. |
