I also had another medical cosmetic surgery to help my shoulders and back - that's as far as I'm going on that one.

None of mine were for vain or beauty reasons..........

Oh yes.. I forgot to add... I am having a cosmetic for the latter also in about 6 months... and if there are more that I find that I need yep... I would do it over again.. And I agree Renda.. they arent for vain reasons.. just pretty much to exist in life.

That is true. If you think about it, a lot of girls in Pentecost spend tons of money on their wardrobes for campmeeting and conferences and hours on their hair. isn't that vanity too???

I also had nose surgery... considered cosmetic. I was hit by a drunk driver 4 days after I got my drivers license. It threw my car 100 ft into a parking lot and tore up my face. The only way for me to breathe out of my nose again would be to have nose surgery and restructure my nose... so yep.. I have and I would do it again in a heartbeat...

sounds justifyable
