Was you cousin really ugly in the nose area? No offense, but if she was dangerously self-concious about it, the nose job might not be that bad.

I'm assuming it is a girl. If it is a guy then that would be really messed up.

hmm if it was grotesque before I can see doing it. I have seen some women with terrible honkers. And I can see getting it in that case.

Just as long as she doesn't end up looking like Michael Jackson.

That's the thing. I can see getting a nose job if you were grotesque before. But some people are never happy with the way they look. And sometimes they have a perfectly fine nose yet still get nose jobs. Some people are just too critical of themselves.

Right, probably cheaper then putting her through therapy.

Is she going to pay it back, or is it a gift?

Some parents buy their kids cars, so if they bought this in lieu of a car I can see that.

Agreed. BTW, I need to shed a few pounds. **thinks for a moment** Naw, I'm just being too self-critical. Where's that leftover pizza?

To be fair, she'd probably have to have a dozen surgeries done on her nose to get it as, uh, artificial-looking as Jackson's. Either that or one surgery by a very poor cosmetic surgeon.

Any truth to those rumors that Jackson's face is slowly peeling off?

Yup. Basically if you have too many surgeries, the tissue starts to die off. Of course if the surgeon refuses to due further surgery, based on those grounds.... you just get a new one..

Weel you know how girls can be. You may have thought her nose was normal, but she may have thought it was the ugliest thing in the world.

maybe she paid 2k to remove it - staying ahead of Michael Jackson

He should probably do that next.

Ah well all those hours that she will spend looking in the mirror after the operation and being amazed with the new nose will probably mean that the money was well spent. We are only human afterall, and so is Jacko

I mean

You really don't know how obvious it was. If it was something that kids would often snicker about and hold against her in insult - I say go for it.

If it was simply a product of her time in front of the mirror, and the parents knew that - incredibly irresponsible to let her execute it at that age. She'll be heading for trouble if this is the case. If she has a glossy, pure white smile and an eating habit well beyond her frame next time you see her, chain her fingers up and throw away the key

It's disturbing that there are licensed physicians willing to do purely cosmetic surgery on children.

I'd disagree, for serious cases that kids will most likely make fun of. Pinning back a kids ears at any point, even the age of 5 is fine with me. Nose jobs are iffy, as they're not always that obvious a protrusion. I don't think I've heard of anything purely cosmetic on a little kid, like widening of the eyes

i was more drawn by the "nose job" part. I know what it means but i cant help my self associating it with categories like "hand job" and "blow job"..... so just imagine what i am thinking when you put the word "nose" next to "job"

It's a bad idea to let children and teenagers be given the choice to get plastic surgery. Furthermore, anyone who feels they need plastic surgery, even if any part of their body is grotesque (unless it is PHYSICALLY disabling them) then they need therapy, NOT plastic surgery.

For every 10 people in this world, there are 9 dumbasses. But it's not their fault, coz they're too dumb to get out of it; and THAT's why we are not in utopia right now.

Your teenaged years are the most sensitive and emotionally challenging of your life. To this girl, her original nose could have been leaving her unhappy, depressed and with a legacy of low self-esteem that could blight her adult life.

The consent of her parents was required, and 15 is not an obscenely young age. I see no problem with it- certainly not to the extent that I feel the urge to become a surrogate parent to her.

I don't think that her nose would be the actual cause of her unhappiness, depression, and low self-esteem. I think being a 15-year-old girl would be the actual cause of those things. It's normal; she should have sought counseling before going under the knife.
