Can Christains have plastic surgery?

I have often wondered this, too. I found a pretty good article on the subject, if you would click on the link below. It doesn't really promote it, but it doesn't condemn it either. It, basically, lets you take a look at the reasons in your heart for doing it, and where you stand with God. \n\nThe Bible warns us against getting wrapped up in our looks, but it also says that we should try to make ourselves look good for our husbands (different words of course).\n\nIn response to Catlins Playhouse's remark, sin is sin. I say that because of her comment "do you think God is going to be mad at you when all these other people..." God will judge us based on His laws and the convictions He places in our hearts. If you go to have cosmetic surgery and you feel the Holy Spirit urging you not to, but you do it anyway, you will be judged on that. \n\nI'm not telling you not to do it. I think you should pray about it. God will let you know.

Only the surgery can do this. However, it will back to normal after for a period of time. So this is useless in long term unless you keep doing this kind of enlargement surgery

There are some surgical implants you could get to help your situation out.  I knew this ol' man who had a surgical implant device put in so he could make his penis larger when he wanted it to be.

It all depends upon what standard you apply to "Christ likeness". For instance Christ was loving and compassionate and an Atheist can certainly demonstrate those qualities.\n\nBut if by being Christlike you mean a person who not only possesses qualities like the ones I already mentioned, but who also seeks to do the will of his Father in Heaven like Jesus always did, then the answer would be "No! An Atheist cannot be Christlike although anyone can certainly "act" Christlike".

No. Maybe light surgery from a skin doctor.

If you are asking if an H.I.V positive person can have "Cosmetic" surgery, the answer is yes. I watched an episode of  Plastic Surgery: Before and After on The Discovery Health Channel just a few days ago and a man having a procedure done was H.I.V. positive. I imagine there are some limitations and risk factors mainly concerning your current health status and if you might be at risk of infections and your immune systems ability to heal your body.

not sure but a friend of mine had it done two years ago in Louisville.\n\nShe lost a lot of weight but now she has sagging skin which is really gross and many medical problems. If you do have the surgery make sure you know all the risks involved before you change your life forever

They're vain and insecure, or there is a medical condition or accident that requires them to get it. For example, if someone is in a car accident and they break their left check bone, plastic surgery would be used to restore some of the damage.

I like your question! But i do have to say that the term "perfect body" is really relative. I do believe that science can very much change our bodies almost as perfect as we want them (or think we do) using computer imaging, then aesthetic surgery. However, what we have to realize is that by undergoing major surgeries, a person could very possibly be submitted to a huge psychological impact. Our mind works wonders, for years you're accustomed to your face then after the surgery you look different, this will tremendously impact the way you think and feel about yourself, and not in a good way! Also, an important thing to remember, is that esthetic surgeries will never hold up forever, as a person gets older, the elastine (a hormone responsible for the elasticity of the skin) will change drastically giving bizarre feel to the skin and very bizarre wrinkles. No matter how perfect the surgery looks now, and no matter how good the doctor is himself, the age will always prove it differently because no one is actually more powerful than the Creator Himself, therefore no one can redo His job any better. \nHope this helps :)

I don't think they've been doing them long enough to know. Technically there might not be too many issues considering the types of surgery around now. I think the biggest issue is the psychological impact on the patient - I am sure many people would not be able to cope as our appearence is so intrinsic as to who we are. Also I think it unlikely there will be many donors and it will be very difficult for the bereaved to come to terms with the possibility of a loved-ones face being used by someone else.

The best way to go about finding that plastic surgeon willing to help would be to ask directly, and ask many! If it is truly something they would view as a charity situation,I'd imagine a few would do it out of kindness(and/or publicity). If it's something cosmetic to improve self-image for the patient, some offer to line up payment plans usually through local places, interest rate im sure based on the patient's credit rating. my guess would be 12% as a good example. if they wont let you ask for referrals from former patients, i would have trouble trusting them. And if it is for you personally, make sure it's important enough to you to go through a good bit of pain and recovery time before you make that decision. there are some things i could consider changing about myself, but i realize that people like me for who i am a great deal more than my appearance. whether for you or someone else, i hope I've been helpful,and have a great weekend!

If they are certified by the American Board of Surgery, they specialise in general surgery and not necessarily plastic surgery. It doesn't mean they are not qualified or experienced to perform plastic surgery, it depends on the individual doctor. HTH.

Apparently you can, but it is not easy. It requires a total change of lifestyle and, in some cases, of faith.
