Plastic Surgery Monster

Usually, when I order things, I have them sent to my parents house, as I’m rarely in when parcels get delivered and there is a pretty good chance of someone always being around at my parents house, what with them both being retired and all. This means that when I come to stay, I usually have at least one parcel waiting for me. 

This time I had two... and they were both from Yesstyle and filled with Asian beauty products. 

I was very excited, especially about how I now have a full skincare and make up regeime using exclusively korean products, and my dad made a throw away comment about whether I was going to have plastic surgery now too. 

I laughed it off at the time but over the course of the day, it’s got me thinking, if money was no object, what would I change about myself?

I would definitely have some form of vision correcting procedure. My eye sight is awful. To wake up and be able to see clearly straight away is something I cannot even comprehend. I’ve spent my entire life in glasses and contact lenses. I can’t even walk the familiar path from my bed to the toilet without putting my glasses on, not to mention the saga of the sunglasses. From the limited research that I’ve done, as I understand it my eye sight is too poor to have laser eye surgery, which leaves me with a lens transplant. Having someone slice open my eyes sounds terrifying, but I would definitely do it to be able to see. 

On a slightly related note, I would also have some excess skin on my eyelids taken out. I have quite hooded eyes, and to make them just a little less so might be nice.

I’ve looked into this a few times, but something along the lines of invisible braces would be good, like invisaline. I have overcrowded teeth at the front on my lower and upper jaw, and while they aren’t awful and certainly don’t stand out, they have always been a feature I have felt insecure about. It’s the reason why I try to avoid smiling with my mouth open in photos. 

I suppose while I was at it, I would also have my teeth whitened. I have used whitening toothpaste all of my adult life and I don’t think it’s done anything to improve the colour of my teeth. I don’t even  consume all of the typical offenders, like coffee or tobacco, so I guess I’m just naturally susceptible.

The final thing I’d do is liposuction. It’d just be nice to be slim without having to do all the work first. 

So nothing too drastic then I don’t think, and nothing too painful! It’s not like I’d want my whole face reshaped, although I do think that loosing some weight will improve my face shape a lot. I’d love to have defined muscles - not in a really hench sort of way but just a strong way - although I recognise that building muscles takes a lot of time and effort and isn’t something that plastic surgery or a quick fix can achieve. So I’ll just have to keep slowing working on that, I guess.
