What if...?

These are quotes from different "Generation X" students responding to plastic surgery.

What if plastic surgery was less expensive and there were no health risks involved before or after the procedure. Would you have plastic surgery? If so, which body part would you alter and how? If not, please state your reasons why you would choose not to have plastic surgery.



Cindy(18)-If it cost less money & was not risky I think I would consider having a second fold put into my eyes. But other than that, I wouldn't change anything else.

Nathan(19)-No, I wouln't have plastic surgery, because I think that it's un-natural to change our bodies like that, and even after such surgery usually people's appearance isn't all that much better.

Jerry(21)-YES

Christina(20)-No...because I am happy/satisfied with how I look. Mostly I have worked on fixing some parts simply by exercising more. After all, those people who do have something done by plastic surgery are often dissappointed afterwards because it isn't 100% perfect as they pictured it. Also, some have done it, then their friends and relatives do not like their changes, which can definitely affect their relationship with them.

Jennifer(20)-No. I wouldn't have the surgery. I don't think that there is any part of me that is so offensive that I would need to fix it. Also, if I had plastic surgery on one part of me, I would probably continue to have more surgeries on other parts until I was completely fake.

Jennifer(18)-Yes. I would have the surgery-lower abs, legs to make them more toned and shapely.

Tracey(26)-Maybe-who wouldn't want to change their appearance literally "overnight." I might consider liposuction; something that can change my over all appearance-but not alter my features. I've thought about rhinoplasty-but this is the nose I was born with, I think I'll keep it.

Naomi(18)-Yes

Farah(18)-If I had the guts to go through plastic surgery, I would have a breast enlargement. But I'd probably chicken out at the last minute.

Frances(19)-If plastic surgery was less expensive and there were no health risks involved, I would enlarge my breast size a cup higher and reduce my inner thighs.

Ali(26)-Yes. Breast enlargement.
