The vanity of one contributes to gifts for others. I met a hand surgeon who was apparently the top of his craft. Fortunately his hand-saving skills were rarely needed. He paid the bills and kept up his skills doing cosmetic surgery.
There's a continuum. Why not remove an odd birthmark or wine spot? Not everyone can wear moles as well as Lemmy from Motorhead. But going over the top to look like a distorted doll with duck lips? No thank you.
It's not all vanity. I have a friend who got implants after preemptive breast cancer surgery. She looked no different afterwards. The cost and effort would have been significantly more if there wasn't an industry in place. I know two women who had much needed breast reduction surgery. One was a 52 double D in high school. The surgery ended years of back problems.
I knew a woman who was extremely self-conscious of two different size breasts; one was an A and the other a C. She got one implant and never looked back. She felt "corrected", not "enhanced".
So help me out. Is Pamela Anderson a dog now that she doesn’t augment her face? Or is she a woman with a nice attitude?
Should she plaster herself with makeup to turn the guys on, or should she try to allure them with her own God-given beauty, in her physical self or otherwise?
“Yes”, on either/or questions is ducking.
