As for your questions: Makeup - no, I prefer a natural look. Clothing - I have no objection, but I am casual at all times and do not object to my partner being dressed casual and comfortable. Jewelry - no objections. But I will point out that none of these have long-term implications, and if compared to cosmetic surgery, none of these come with a risk of dying under anasthetic. You've never heard of anyone slipping in a mu mu and dying? [:D] See, I asked the questions to point out that women (and men) regularly use their appearance as an expression of their identity. Change that appearance, and you inalienably alter their identity. I would also offer that statistically, there's a greater risk of being hit by a car on the way to the clinic than there is of dying under the knife. Everything we do carries a risk. To say "I won't do it just because it's too dangerous" is, of course, entirely acceptable. One's life is indeed a precious thing to risk. Yet, I would be an unhappy person if I never engaged in every risky activity I've ever undergone. Thus, the question (for me) isn't one of "is it dangerous?" so much as "Is this a risk I'm willing to accept." Besides, it's impossible to know that charlotte, in getting surgery, didn't actually save her life by not crossing the street as she might ordinarily have been doing, and get hit by a car. So, yes; the point is that everyone who wishes to do something risky should do so with their eyes open. Those who feel a procedure is too risky, shouldn't engage in it. I'm simply pointing out that, risk aside, a woman who already has healthy self-esteem who might desire larger (or smaller; thinking of AquaticSub here) breasts, smaller stomach, etc should feel fully empowered to make that change for herself. No amount of corrective surgery in the world can possibly combat poor self-esteem. Anorexics will never feel 'thin enough' for the same reason. Regards, Stephan
