The problem isn't plastic surgery, it's that we live in a world where people are made to feel like they need it.
But time and again it has been shown that appearance does matter. Taller CEOs with better hair make more money. Fucked up? Maybe, but true, nonetheless.
I went through my phase in college where I felt that if someone didn't like my appearance, then fuck them. Their problem, not mine. It's a great attitude - wonderful and idealistic. And idealism starts to suck balls when it runs head first into reality. "I don't want to be with someone who judges me on my looks." Yes, wonderful. Exactly as things should be. But then you realize that you've just excluded the vast majority of humanity from your dating pool. You can't let "should" replace "is" without fucking yourself over.

Some of her point rings true with me.... I have often thought about getting liposuction, because quite frankly, I have put in the work, and it hasn't had that much effect. And I'm young! It should do something. It's only when I go to drastic (read:slightly unsafe) measures that real results show. Plus, you cannot loose fat ever. You were born with a certian number of fat cells, and you will die with all of those fats cells, and maybe more. Fat cells grow (how you get fat) and shrink, and also, you can add more, but you can never loose them. I honestly would want to get lipo to just speed up the process and loose the excess fat cells, and then maintain it with pilates and yoga and a vegan diet. Which wouldn't be all that hard.
But then I think how much I like my bootylicious ass and how weird it would look on skinny legs I'll loose weight the old fashioned way. Blood Sweat and Tears!
