Because they keep looking at other people whome might have good looking but no brain and also the idea of the Idols are pretty much effecting. \nCommercials as well.\n& the most important thing they don`t love themselves.

Four reasons:\n\n1. They think there is something in them that they have to get out (bugs, poison, implants, etc.)\n\n2. People in extreme emotional pain sometimes need to manifest it physically to cope with it and find relief.\n\n3. People who have anxiety do it to feel a sense of control over themselves, especially if their anxiety is the result of some sort of physical, emotional or sexual abuse.\n\n4. Many people do it for attention. This can come in minor forms of cutting their arms to get attention from parents or peers to extreme cases involving the removal of body parts to get the attention of medical professionals.

Some people do this to impress others or to try to impress them while others do it to try to cover up their flaws or to cover the fact that they aren't who they would like to be.

There is no way a plastic surgeon will do this.  Normally when lipo is done it isn't used to "lose weight."  It is done to "shape" the body. No insurance company will ever pay for lipo...it is cosmetic...gastric bypass on the other hand, is done because the persons life is in danger and they will die if the surgery is not done....

Plastic surgery is dangerous, despite the fact it is becomming like a national craze. I recommend not doing it. At the end of the day, the poet Keats said: "Truth is Beauty, Beauty is Truth". \n\nNow, look around, you see lots of people have partners (bf-gf/husband-wife) and they all look different. Personality is really the most magical thing there is. I have dated a lot of bimbo's and to be honest, they are really boring.\n\nWhy compare yourself to these girls anyways. They probably have their own issues to work out, and if some have went for the option of plastic surgery, then perhaps they have the problem.\n\nRelationship-wise, looks fade over time, then what are these people going to be left with? There is NOT, as you say, tons of beautiful women with great personalities, i've dated lots of girls, and this is just not the case.\n\nWhat is attractive to me, and most men i know, is a woman who is confident in herself. If you deal with the INTERNAL issues you have, this will so come out EXTERNALLY. Energy, Happy eyes, etc. \n\nGuy's really have low standards when it comes to looks, if it moves, they want a go at it. Any girl could go out, whatever she looked like, and get a boyfriend if she wanted to. All you have to do is grab LIFE by the balls and walk up to someone you like and show them the beauty of your personality.  Low confidence and needy attitudes are a turn off. \n\nNow, onto the main bit of your question, the actual HOW to learn to be happy with your body. Well, first off, exercise is a great thing, every person has the ability to get themselves into shape. Once in shape, wear clothing that flatters your body (it doesnt have to be party-girl hooker clothes either!). \n\nMake up and hair styles can have a HUGE impact upon someone. Take a look through great MAKE-OVER websites that should give you simple easy tips that have a great effect. Even watch make over shows, catch some tips from them.\n\nEvery human being has a beautiful spirit, some just don't show it. Have fun, laugh and smile, there is nothing more attractive than some laughing and joking around. If you need dental work, get some (it's cheaper than plastic surgery). \n\nMost of all, DO WHAT YOU WANNA DO, go out, have fun, get involved in things that will have you comming into contact with tons of people. The more people you meet, the more chance you will catch some guy's eye (if this is even what you want?). \n\nDo not obsess over yourself, magazines have got people aspiring to a bunch of crap. Listen to Christina Aguliera's song "I am Beautiful" over and over if you want (however i do not recommend it because she is an alien). \n\nIf all else fails, download some audio serie's by the following people: Tony Robbins (success in life), Deepak Chopra (happiness in life), Wayne Dyer (love in life) and also, if you want an insight into how men work, download David Deangelo (this is a series about guys hitting on girls).

My husband is not one.  He met me with my "natural face" and fell in love with me anyway.  I do not wear make-up, and I do not "shave".  Neither does he.\n\nNeither one of us understands why people would want to smear animal by-products or chemicals on their bodies, or scrape sharp metal blades across their skin.  UGH!

Plastic surgery has many side effects, both physical and mental.  You will likely suffer pain for at least a few weeks, and as mentioned in previous answers, lose money.  It is hard to see yourself as someone else when it is over too.  It is ultimately your choice, but I suggest talking about it with a doctor or therapist.  Good luck!

Because we live in a society that that demands perfection. People want to feel beautiful and an example of beauty. Like models. Skinnier people are more confident with their body and how  they expose themselves. Some overweight people get depressed and offended easier. They also might feel like they don't belong.

If it makes the person feel better, I think they should go for it. There is no point living in the wrong body if they can afford to have the surgery and they are sure that is what they want. We have the technology and I think it must be torturous for someone who is born the gender that is not what they want to be. Live and let live and my best wishes to them.=)

in japan (idk if it's available in the us) there is a method of plastic surgery in which they insert something into your legs and break the bone and pull it apart ever so slightly. then they let it grow back, break it again, and let it grow back again. This is repeated until the person is satasfied or the bone gets too weak.

Its easy...And yes...\n\nFrom a demographic prespective...people grow old, people get wrinkles, you fix wrinkles, people pay you, you buy expensive stuff, everyones happy.\n\nBut for something really fulfilling and tough, but high paying...you should know surgery is much more money.\n\nBut you can start your own clinic or whatever...make a bundle there.

I worked for a Plastic Surgeon for five years. I also have personally known a couple of people who have had the surgery. I do not know anyone who was sorry they had the surgery. However, it is  a rough surgery. There is a lot of blood and fluid loss and it is painful. Everyone is different as far as the recovery, but as far as the results of the surgery, I do not know anyone who was not absolutely THRILLED. \n\nIt is not an inexpensive surgery. If you have a medical reason, insurance will cover it. Many insurance companies do not approve the surgery instantly though. The insurance companies usually make you "jump through hoops," before finally approving the surgery.

It's anything that enhances the "patient's" appearance, and it appears to be limited to non-surgical procedures (or at least major surgery). So that would cover any and all of the following: laser hair removal, botox treatments, microdermabrasion, and even things like removal of varicose (spider) veins.

No I agree with you. In many cases you either have bad plastic surgery or repeated surgeries and you get that shiny, plastic look, which is not appealing. Not a natural look.

You have to remember, they aren't that pretty. They have to use make up, cause they don't have real faces. If they were pretty, they wouldn't have to spend so much money on clothes and fashion and going to beauty parlors and they need to have experts do their faces before they can go on tv. Even after the pictures are taken, they still have to have the shots touched up. They aren't beautiful. It's all just photo refinishing.
