Marilyn Monroe was and still is adored by millions by both men and women, she had cosmetic surgery and also used hormone creams on her face.
I have never read anywhere a detrimental remark about this.
I know for a fact that ordinary women have cosmetic surgery, not to look glamorous or young but to correct a facial feature that has caused them to be unhappy and the afterward to be a changed woman. I have worked for a short time in this setting and have seen it for myself.
I also have had some procedures and (paid for by myself I hasten to add) and was money very well spent, and no one but myself would know or even guess. I certainly don't feel ashamed in fact quite the contrary, I had the courage corrected some things that I was unhappy with and now I don't give it a thought anymore, It take me about 10 mins to get ready, I am happy with what I see in the mirror and I feel confident to go.
I also don't wear make up except mascara, have never worn lipstick and have never thought I needed to. I have often been told this.
I don't drink or smoke and don't go on holiday, and in todays world I don't have many carbon footprints as I did in the past.
Artificer is artifice whether its makeup, hair colour etc... procedures (self improvement) are no different just don't wash off.
I have known quite a few plastic surgeons and they have all said that cosmetic surgery is one of the most rewarding of surgeries to do as the change in their patients is so marked, even the most minor of procedures.
A friend of mine has just had the all of her teeth removed and replaced with fabulous implants, she look wonderful and is so happy with the result, this is cosmetic dentistry, no different to any other cosmetic procedure, why would anyone be against, if you have the money its your own business what you spend it on
If you are prepared to take the risks its your own affair, most women do not go in lightly into it have done research for years before they go ahead, this is what I have been told and was my experience too.
Women have choices to age the way they want, to look the way they want and whatever they decide should not be made to feel in some way that there is something lacking in them.
There are ladies who have been on MM who have have has some sort of procedure but don't talk about it as, it in not always received kindly.
That's why I said in my previous post that maybe beauty secrets should be just that! I maybe think a wise woman should just smile and be enigmatic
"Despite the popular misconception, the word "plastic" in "plastic surgery" does not mean "artificial," but is derived from the ancient Greek word "plastikos," which means to mold or give form. Plastic surgery includes both the reconstructive and aesthetic subspecialties"
