What cosmetic surgery have you had or are you interested in having?

OK folks, I know some people on the forum have already had cosmetic surgery and I know many others want it.

What have you had done and what do you want are you pretty certain you will have done in the future?

Here's my list.

So far I've had some cosmetic dental work with crowns and veneers on my front upper incisors and canines. Unfortunately I was attacked on the way home from work late one night and lost one of my lateral incisors (I was strangled as well and have a fracture somewhere in my larynx) so I now need a dental implant to replace the tooth that had already been crowned and was perfect. At the moment I have a temporary plate to fill in the gap which looks good but it's not perfect

This isn't the end of my dental work though as I hope to have the rest of my teeth crowned too. I also have a large overbite so at some stage I hope to have serious jaw surgery either moving the lower jaw forwards about a quarter of an inch or moving the upper one upwards and backwards. While doing this I'll have my chin worked on slightly as it's quite receded.

One day I'll have such nice teeth that you won't be able to tell I'm English

Beyond that my skin is in a really bad state at the moment so would benefit from some microdermabrasion or possibly a peel and photorejuvenation.

One day I'd like to have a minor nose job to remove a small hump and my lips are very thin so I'd probably go for a surgical solution to this.

Finally I think it's going to be time for a breast lift too as I'm 38D and not exactly firm

Gravity is not good news for large breasts over time.

I have needed that leg vein treatment since I was a teenager. For some strange unexplainable reason I got a vericose vein on my leg when I was a teen eventhough I was very under weight. I also discovered broken capilleries on my face in my early 20's (thats when I started to wear foundation).

I have a bunion!

Hair removal. When my son was 5 he touched my face and said "Mommy you're a hairy girl".

wow girl, you have lots of stuff you want to do. : D

i just had my breast done like 2 months ago. Unfortuatly when i was younger and going though puberty i only had one breast grow. so i ended up with a 38C and a 38A.
it sucked big time. i had to buy special bras and special pads, not to mentions all the low cut shirts that i couldnt wear.

then 7 years later i finally got the guts to finally have it done. i am still recovering. my poor right boob had to stretch 3 whole sizes, so the healing is a little exstensive.

when it comes to other surgerys, i would love to have my chin (goble goble) done. that would be wonderful.

i dont think i would do anything eles to my face. My nose, eyes, lips etc. are all featurs from my family and i love the way they look no mater what.

To be honest the dental work is largely for functional reasons. Not only do I have an overbite but my premolars and molars are underexposed (they don't come out of the gums to the same height) compared to the incisors and canines. This means that when I bite closed my lower incisors actually touch the roof of my mouth behind my upper incisors, scraping behind them. This has worn the tops of the lower incisors away to expose the dentine. The way to stop this happening is to build up the height of the molars and premolars with crowns so that they are appropriate for the height of the canines and incisors. Once this has been done I will need the lower incisors which have worn tops to be veneered or crowned to repair them. It's not going to be a cheap exercise

I had 3 children in 3 years. I need a tummy tuck.
I'd have the skin under my chin tightened. And my teeth pushed back into place (I lost my retainer when I was 16). I've already had braces twice..quite horrible actually. And my teeth bleached.

The only factor is being able to afford it. I'm not working at the moment so it could be a long time. The actual crown work can be done in a couple of days (my dentist makes crowns and veneers in-house). Beyond that the jaw realignment work will be done in hospital and may take quite a few hours (detaching the upper jaw to move it around isn't trivial) - probably a few days in hospital afterwards for recover. I shouldn't need my jaws wired closed afterwards although if they do decide it is necessary it will make me lose some weight which won't be a bad thing!

Right now though it all depends on me getting another well paid job as none of this is covered by insurance or the National Health Service.

The crowns alone will cost about $12,000, and an implant will add another $5,000. Jaw realignment surgery will cost in the region of $20,000.

Also you don't have it listed but I would get Lazer too.
I would probably get my breast lifted if I had the guts and was not scared.

I would have my eyelids done; I have "hooded" eyes and I figure by the time I'm 50 I won't be able to see because my lids will be hanging over so much. I would have a tummy tuck & a boob lift. I wish to hell there was something that could be done about stretch marks - that would be so worth it!

Id like to have a reduction at some point in my life.
I hate the clothing that I can actually get away with.
I have a really small waist and a large chest. So most shirts look weird on me.

I have a little "underbump" on my nose like the end of Paris Hilton's but not as long. It annoys me and I think my nose is a little slanted to one side but only in the "bump" bit because it looks cute, ski-jumpy from the right, but Paris-esque from the left.

Ive also been considering "threading" where they pull fat up from your jawline into your cheeks, fix two problems at once. Give my jawbone and cheeks the correct definition. :p

I would probably have a breast lift later on in life, if I need it. And Id like to get my one of my teeth straightened but I dont want to wear braces so I dont know if theres any other faster way to do it

I didn't know crowns were plastic surgery... In that case, I've got one! It's because I had to get it, though.

The plastic surgery I'd *like* to get is a breast reduction. Mine are too big, have been since I was 13 years old. I'd really like to once again know what it's like for my shoulders *not* to hurt. Also, I'd like to be able to run and jump without bouncing all over the place.

I have braces right now and after I get them off then the orthodontist wants me to get a type of surgery where they would trim my gums then they go back into my jaw and cut the bone on both sides so the gums cant grow back. (I have a seriously gummy smile) Then if the braces dont fix my overbite then I'm going to have to get jaw surgery to correct that. Then the other day when I was talking to a few of the MA's at MAC and we were talking about dental surgeries one of them said that this doctor in California invented this sugery that will keep my lip from going up so high when I smile so not soo much gum will show. So of course I need that becouse my top lip pretty much disappears when I smile.

Other than mouth stuff I realy want a rhinoplasty becouse my nose is huge and bumpy. I'm not 100% sure yet but I'm pretty sure I'm going to want a breast augmentation, I dont want huge breasts, just a very small B so my figure will look a little more girly, lol I want cleavage!

I would like to have blepharoplasty ( I think its called ) someday. Its where they remove some of the fat pads (bags) underneath the eye. Theyve always bothered me, even though Im really young and they're not at all a problem, but I can see as I get older them being worse from looking at my parents. Also, that laser thing where they remove tiny spider veins...I have some in my cheeks that I don't care for. Lastly, I would like to even out my nose...its crooked, but not in the usual way. One side of the, from tear duct to nostril, is fine and straight. My other side widens a bit, leaving it looking off, like someone tweaked my nose! Although its VERY slight and one of those things only the actual person would notice.
But mostly, blepharoplasty.
