Cosmetic surgery, yes or no? (LOH #177)

in #hive-1244528 months ago

Hello Ladies of HIVE and welcome to my blog. I hope everyone is having a nice week. This is my first post in this community and I am very excited.

I want to share my opinion concerning the topic. If money wasn't the problem, would I consider getting a cosmetic surgery?

Well there are reasons that makes one consider getting a cosmetic surgery. It could be to boost one's self-esteem. Teenagers after hitting puberty start to feel more conscious about themselves, for example, how they dress, what people think about them, are they beautiful?,etc.

As a teenager myself, I do think about that too. From high school, you meet different people and wanting to feel among makes you very conscious of your physical appearance. To be honest, there were a lot of times I didn't feel among with my classmates then in highschool, even now sometimes. I was almost the smallest in stature in my class but I wasn't the youngest and I wasn't even as endowed as the rest of the girls in the my class in terms of physical appearance.

I did feel bad about my stature but there was nothing I could do about it. I see in movies or reality shows, celebrities or those who are rich enough to afford a cosmetic surgery doing it, probably to build their self-esteem or feel more proud about their bodies. As for me, the only thing I was sure that I was really proud of about my self was my skin color and smoothness, especially my face. I have a dark brown skin. A few photographers and makeup artists have told me that I would fit for a skincare model.

I started to look at myself in the mirror and tell myself "hey Debbie! You're beautiful just the way you are and you don't need anything to change you!" That was how I started encouraging myself and boost my self-esteem.

My answer to the question in the topic would be NO. Even if money isn't a problem, I wouldn't consider having a cosmetic surgery.english
I'm not condemning those who do it, no one is perfect of course.

Apart from the fact that my family doesn't encourage using artificial means to enhance your beauty, I learnt to admire myself the way I am. Even if I was to have a cosmetic surgery, I realized that it isn't a one time process because I would have to keep maintaining it and that means it would also be a constant reminder to me for the rest of my life that that isn't the real me. I may not be as endowed as other girls of my age but I've decided not to let that affect me anymore.

I would like to say this to the ladies out there, if you feel pressured into doing something, you could first think about it "is it worth taking the risk?" If yu you think it is worth it then you can go ahead and if you aren't sure, yu can seek advice.

As a word of encouragement, I would like to say that you are beautiful regardless of you age, skin color, stature or facial appearance. You are the only you, so what's the point trying to be different. You are beautifully and wonderfully made so don't let anyone make you think otherwise.

Thank you for reading my post and have a wonderful week.

Right on @debbiediamond28 , I'd rather have a nice new outfit than any unnecessary surgery.

Wow, exactly! I'm glad we both have the same thought. Thanks for visiting my post

Amazing read and opinion!
I haven't thought much about it (which means I'm part of the undecided group), so reading your post really gave me nice insights.
I agree on you on most parts, but I still think it's the real you, with surgery or not - I mean what matters most is the inside - your character, your personality, your attitude.
I think there are those people who are in favor of cosmetic surgery because it relieves their pain or discomfort. Sure it would be nice to live with whatever you're given to but it's not really applicable to everybody else. But since this is your perspective, I respect that 😅

Thank you for visiting my blog. I'm glad it inspired you.

Thank you for voting for me, I am grateful for your support.

Everyone on the blockchain is given a certain amount of "RESOURCE CREDITS" (RC) that can be "spent" in publishing posts, writing comments, etc. Everything we do requires a few RC to accomplish, similar to "mana" or "gas" on other blockchains. We are given RC depending on how much HIVE POWER (HP) we have staked. If you don't have much HP, you will use all of your RC quickly. RC recharges at a rate of 20% each day.

You have been given a temporary delegation ("loan") of HP to provide you with a greater allotment of RC, courtesy of @theterminal's RC-assist project. We ask that you:

• do not plagiarize (steal or 'spin' others' work)
• remain active
• comment/upvote others' posts to build your network
• PowerUp rewards to grow your account, do not 'cash-out' to an exchange

You may check your RC any time at https://hiveblocks.com
The best of luck to you on Hive! 🙂

Thank you very much @theterminal. I am really grateful for your support.

Welcome to the Ladies of Hive community, sweetheart. It is nice reading you. Your explanation on how you felt you weren't beautiful or endowed enough as ladies your age is a beautiful way to give us details on your thoughts and then, when you realize you are awesome!

You are beautiful, and your skin glows as well. Thanks for shat your journey with us.

Thank you very much for reading my post and I appreciate the compliment.

You are welcome

I watched a video of an interview. The ladies where asked
Do you think men prefer natural or BBL and 90% of the ladies said BBL and when the men where asked 95% said natural.

Many people do this because of that They think others think of them but the truth is that is doesn’t matter.

I believe anyone can workout the kind of body postures they want

The exact same thing I thought! Thank you for visiting my post and sharing your opinion @fashtioluwa
