puffpuffjiggly whispered, "This might be a stupid question... but I was just wondering what you guys think of plastic surgery? Do you think it's "plastic" or "fake" and all that? I honestly really want to change some things on my body with surgery. I want my body to be MY ideal, and I don't want to have to look the way I do now just because someone else thinks I already look good. I want to feel beautiful the way I want to, I want to change!"

I can’t speak for anyone else, but plastic surgery isn’t inherently bad. It’s worked miracles for people who were born with birth defects, who’ve been in car wrecks, or have had other tragedies.

Plastic surgery, similar to weight loss, is someone’s own personal choice. But when someone feels that they NEED to do it to fit in, to be ‘attractive’, to find love, to be self confident, THAT’S where the problem lies. If you’re doing it for yourself, great, go for it. But if you’re doing it because of ANY outside influence, it’s very sad. That’s why so many people who have plastic surgery tend to get addicted. They want to reach for perfection, keep getting ‘better’ when there was nothing wrong with them all along.

But calling someone ‘plastic’ or ‘fake’, no matter how many surgeries they’ve had, no matter how much they’ve altered their appearance is not okay. Body shaming is body shaming regardless. NO ONE is ‘fake’. Many people who’ve altered their appearance in a drastic way (multiple plastic surgeries, dramatic weight loss, etc.) have many deep-seated psychological issues and to shame them for what they’ve done does nothing but make them feel worse about themselves. NO ONE deserves that!

Love,

Amber
