I’m going to be honest—when I was younger and more naïve I didn’t like PS on anyone and on myself. If I had met someone who got something done back then I would have been appalled (on the inside). I was brought up in a conservative household—never had the TALK, my mother never voiced her opinions on gays and the LGBT community also on race. I also attended a former all girls’ sectarian school.

 Sidenote: The school now admits boys and from other religions.

But I changed. Now, I’m a kpop fan. I’m also older so I have more understanding why people chose to have it. Let me put it this way. In my example a person is a dumpling or ravioli ,whatever floats your boat, and no matter how much you change the dough/ pasta on the outside—shape (or change its color) it to look like a pyramid or a cylinder, whatever, the filling is still the same.  It’s still whatever you started out with even after shaping the outside differently.

In simpler terms what I’m saying that even if your nose is pointier or your s are bigger you are still the same person post-surgery depending on the person and how much the physical appearance have changed they might have more confidence but nonetheless still the same person – same attitude, same priorities, same insecurities.

What concerns me is that sure it is a form of self improvement—like going to the gym and eating healthy you are altering your self but like my dumpling example how much does this affect you person(the one encased in your flesh) if you’re religious let’s say –soul? If you change your face do you look in the mirror and wonder why you are not your self anymore? Your body will be with you for a lifetime and if you change is drastically, permanently halfway through that lifetime what happens to you? How do you see yourself after? I think it depends on the person but I also think that most people getting surgeries think—oh wow, I really did change. For me, that seems like a part of yourself died or is dying because you don’t look like yourself anymore, something has changed. No matter how small that change is.

Ok, maybe writing this just proves that I may not be all that open to PS as I think I am but here’s another one of my thoughts let’s imagine a girl named Liah. Liah has had small s all her life she’s very conscious about how she’s not gifted like her other friends. She uses two bras or push-up bras to boost what she already have which to her does not seem like enough. Her added attention to her s make her look at other women and first look at their s to compare to hers. It’s almost bordering on obsession. Almost. She gets surgery—she’s very happy because now she can wear what she wants and flaunt what she now got. But like a former fat kid who thinks and acts like they’re still fat. She got used to her small that whenever she looks in the mirror with her new and improved s she doesn’t think it’s enough. Hello, another body image issue is born. See, this is what supports my dumpling “theory”.

This is my stand (for now). Sure you may change how you look with PS but if you don’t couple it with loving yourself (old or new) I think more than anything it subtracts to who you are. You may look fabulous but if you don’t feel that way post-surgery what was the use of the change in the first place? What I think? Girls considering PS should think long and hard and repeat at least 700 times. Will making your eyes bigger change you as a person and not just physical but I also mean on the inside?  I am not implying that girls and guys who got PS all have low self esteems, no. because believe me, I bet there are tons of people who are so happy and confident now because of the change brought about by PS but if you change physically and nip and tuck with the help of a professional, don’t you think it’s worth it to change how you think about yourself and how you see yourself too?

What do you guys think about PS? Do you have the same opinion as me? or you think differently? Comment down below! I’m not starting a fight but I would like to hear what you guys think, how few of you are. hehehehe^^
