Continuing the Karen Voight Debate ...

Denise,

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. If I were in your postition I would have done the same thing. I think this is what plastic surgery was really intended for. I think it was intended for people with severe birth defects, masectomies, accident's that have caused severe disfigurements etc.

Colleen, with all due respect to you, I think comparing a hair color / style with cosmetic surgery is apples and oranges. I see where you are trying to get to with this, but I think you used the wrong analogy.

More generally, I must respectfully disagree that self-confidence is not a factor in cosmetic surgery, unless of course the surgery is reconstructive (when it actually still is, but for different reasons). I am sure many other factors come into play when choosing to have the surgery (such as for instance - a topless dancer who does it because she would make a much better income with larger breasts), but self confidence is always on the list, IMO. It BELONGS on the list. If it wasn't on the list, we wouldn't be talking about human beings. It's not shameful that people have self-confidence issues. It's a fact of life. It's how we choose to deal with them that people disagree on.

Don't you think fitness instructors are kind of implying that 'If you do what I show you, you can look like me!"?
So I really take offense when they really should say "if you want to look like me, here's the number of my plastic surgeon".
Yes folks, Karen has had breast implants and her face done. It's all fake. I know this for a fact....just to clear things up. (and she's really not a nice person AT ALL)..oh well...another false front in Hollywood...who knew?

OLD, OLD thread alert!

I'm not sure why someone would join a forum and with their very first post revive a thread that is EIGHT years old. And not only that, only do it to add something nasty. Go figure.
