It's okay - sure.

But it's very very costly and the results for the most part are just temporary. I can see the need and justification for it though in some cases, depending on the situation.

If you can afford it, go for it.

Re: Cosmetic Surgery? yes or no

My Doctor refered me to one this week for a whole in my ankle that will not heal!

I told my kids that they will change my appearance into Brad Pitt and my oldest started crying & said that she didn't want a father that looked like Brad Pitt she wanted a dad that
looked like me!

Bless her! Sniff!

Depends on the reason and the procedure. Too much of a blanket statement.

A child born with a deformity or a post surgical repair (i:e- after mastectomies) should be acceptable.

Sure why not!?!? The HG changes the look of the insides and outside Your local plastic surgeon can do the outside and sometimes the insides too. Not a fair comparison, but just saying...

I too have mixed feelings about it.
