This is an interesting thread. I don't think I'd ever have anything done to my face unless it was injured. That being said, I have had plastic surgery when I was 22, fifteen years ago. I had a mammoplasty reduction, they removed 7.5 pounds of breast tissue and that still left me with size C cups. Heck, I wanted B's but it would have made me out of proportion to my hips. The weight of my bust was causing severe back and neck problems that were aggravating my mild scoliosis. Plus, they didn't make supportive large bras back then, not even Lane Bryant, and I couldn't wear any kind of button down blouse without making it gap. It was horrible. Not to mention my chest entered the room about 30 seconds before the rest of me did and guess what kind of unwanted attention I got from it? Mostly it interfered with my quality of life and caused pain.
My mother had reconstructive surgery after breast cancer and my sister had a scar taken off her forehead. I wouldn't advocate plastic surgery for anyone. I think implants would be okay for women who have breasts that are two different sizes to even them up. But I don't think going from a size A to a size D is going to make anyone as happy as they think it will. Back pain for one thing. Of course, I haven't been a size A since 6th grade so maybe it would. Its hard to see it from that side for me as I had so many problems being too large for too long.
I would also be okay with the tummy tuck to get rid of excess skin or the pregnancy apron many women have. But it should always be thought about long and hard and researched and then finding the best doctor you can afford.
Plastic surgery is life-changing. But it won't change who you are.
