PLASTIC SURGERY (Page 1 of 2)

Yeah, I've perused this site myself.  It's left me wondering why people can't just leave themselves alone.  You see SO many examples of people that looked just fine before, then they literally butchered their own faces....and then think they look better afterwards for some reason. 

Some ultimate examples from that site:

Mickey Rourke:

Mary Tyler Moore:

It's unfortunate, but what they've done is irreversible.

Then there's the reversible stuff, like lip collagen gone amok.  If they stopped the injections, they'd look much better:

Hollywood should just get over the whole lip collagen thing.   Very rarely does it ever actually look like a good thing:

Anyway, if nothing else this site is good for making a person feel better about how they may look.  Being au naturale with some flaws is still better then irreversible face butchering surgery, or the body dymorphic disorder psychological issue that many Hollywood stars seem to exhibit, which causes them to not know when to quit, and to keep cutting, and lifting, and injecting and more cutting.  It's also good for letting people know that some of the stars they may have been admiring and comparing themselves to weren't born looking that way either.  "Look at her perfect nose!"   "I have thin lips....look at how nice and full her lips are!"   etc. 

Haha, exactly. Yeah, for some reason in the past, I was a tad insecure with the way I looked. I don't know why, but maybe the media was getting into my head which is why I tossed my TV (which was suprisingly easy for me, a former couch potato). But just looking at these photos and seeing these celebs make such mistakes on their faces made me realize "hmm, I'm not so bad after all" of course, not in a cocky attitude, but more of a genuine confidence and moving on to whatever I was doing. Flaws are definetely cool, of course, unless half of your face is missing like that French woman who had that facial implant, then plastic surgery has its place.

Vivica A. Fox was defininely a fox before, I seriously don't understand her. And the captions from the Mary Tyler Moore pics are just plain  hilarious! I love whoever writes for that site, very sarcastic in a light hearted tone!

Well I won't be a hypocrite...I want to look good and stay youthful.     Recently, due to months of poor eating and sleeping habits and other factors I began looking a bit run down.  My face just looked droopy and weary.  I took some pro-active measures and bought a product I have to take a moment to plug here:

!  Amazing product.  Plug plug plug!!!   Derma e brand "Alpha Lipoderm/Alpha Lipoic Green Tea Advanced Repair Complex."  This stuff WORKS.   Within one week my face looked different.  It's loaded with Alpha Lipoic acid, jojaba oil, green tea extract, and loads of Vitamin A, C, D and E.  The box promises "Regular use of this product will help to achieve firm, toned skin and a smoother complexion.  Fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, and other skin irregularities will show visible signs of diminishing."   Well, it certainly did.  !  Pores shrunk, skin's all smooth...AND toned, and when I look in the mirror I no longer cringe!    A new face!      Okay, slight exaggeration...BUT....there was a big difference.  Big enough that I'm plugging it and saying it's worth the $17.   I also started taking separate Alpha Lipoic acid supplements and tons of flax seed oil. The whole thing combined can't be a bad thing. 

I think the proper skin care and diet and plenty of sleep and water when we're young will prevent the need for butchering one's face when we're old!

OMG that is disgusting you could have at least posted a warning or something I don't think everyone wants to look at some freaking guys tongue split open. sick.

Frankly, I think Joyce Wildenstein's pic is WAY scarier than the lizard dude.  Looks like her face will explode any second.

Yeah, but the lizard dude isnt biting anybody's head off and causing violence in his wake, he's just making himself look odd.  Big difference.  I dont understand people that will sit thru slasher movies, women getting raped and people shooting other people up enacting all kinds of gore, and then get offended at something that has nothing to do with violence. And BTW, Xenopope, that doesnt mean Im inferring you in particular.

Ridiculous!
BTW, I do not even like piercing...
