    @Liam Yeah especially when they have had to have something done for medical reasons, they can gain confidence by making it look more 'normal' again :)

    @Liam you do make a good point about confidence there. I think that’s one of the main reasons why people get it actually, it makes them feel better about themselves which is totally fair enough. It’s a personal thing after all, I personally am put off by the stories of it going wrong ahaha

    @Shaunie Do you want to make a new thread where we can chat whilst you're having a high? It could be useful to separate it from the general chat and then you can always look back on it if you want to reflect on your high? Absolutely fine if you would like to stay here also though <3 
    No one would reply then

    Getting something done has bad accossations to it. Like being “fake” but they’re not fake. They’re still them self’s as they choose it and they’re adjusting to how they want to be in their own body and taking control

    I think things like this are a matter of personal preference, everyone is entitled to do what they want with their own body and their choice should be respected either way. :) people have good reasons for being on whatever side of the plastic surgery debate they’re on.

    What’s everyone doing tomorrow??

    It’s like them choosing their own identity which we should all be able to do without being called fake.

    Sorry. Just thought it’s important to not have the words like fake being associated with people choosing what to do with their own bodies.
