Plastic surgery: is it worth the risk?
Filed under: Skin Care, Celebrities with Style
This week, a study was released that says 17% of Americans will get some kind of cosmetic surgery in 2015. That means almost 1 out of every 5 people in the nation will go under the knife that year in order to "fix" some kind of perceived flaw -- and that number includes children. Of course, a vast majority of these people will be adults, and some will have a lot of work done. Still, that's a lot of people putting their health at risk to do an elective surgery.
Part of the reason that people are flocking to surgery is that it's perceived as totally safe. Plus, the number and types of procedures are always growing. Right now, one of the hottest procedures is breast reduction surgery for men. Sure, everybody has times that they wish they could make a change in their appearance, but there are definitely risks involved with all surgeries.
Do you think it's worth it? Have any of you guys ever had a plastic surgery mishap or close call?

I don't see anything wrong with tweaking something about your appearance that really bothers you. I think it's great actually. If you can make yourself feel a million times better about yourself then, hey, why the hell not. The smallest thing can really make someone feel like a whole new person.
Now, for those who go completely overboard and make themselves unrecognisable to family and friends have deeper issues than just a tweak here and there.
I have a few things I'd like tweaked but, I would still want to look like me.
