Paying for your children's cosmetic surgery

[want2bfit]

I don't know if this topic should go to celebrity plastic surgery, but I am starting to wonder if we should pay for the procedures that our grown up children have (even if we have the money).

Actress Sherrie Hewson is paying for her daughter's breast augmentation job. She says that by increasing her cup size from B to D, she can make Keeley Hewson happier. By the way, Sherrie herself had her plastic surgery on reality television. This is how she feels about the whole transformation. “I went on Ten Years Younger to help me through a difficult period, when my marriage was breaking up. My self-esteem was rock-bottom and I thought surgery would make me into somebody else. But I woke up and I was the same person." Sharon Osbourne said the same thing about her surgery.

The question is if these ladies will regret their decisions like another reality TV star Jade Goody.

What do you think?

And I would say more and more of us will be faced with this issue in our families. I have read another survey in Bliss. As many as one out of three 15-year old girls want to have plastic surgery. What is on their wish list? Tummy tuck, of course. Other procedures include thinner thighs and a bigger or smaller bust.

This weekend we had a Japanese student from a local university spend a weekend with us as part of their "stay with an American family" program. The discussion started about plastic surgery in Asia - with all the news coming out of South Korea, where almost all young women are having some work done. It appears that it is also a craze in China. But according to our guest (mind you it is only one person's opinion), she does not think it is a good idea to alter the body that her parents have given her.

Well, she is only 19 and as pretty as a Japanese doll!

It is not just the women any more. Even their president got some work done. Dr. Lee Sang-eun, director of the Real Clinic Group in South Korea has actually opened a male-only clinic, Real for Men.

After spas for men, is this the new trend? Plastic surgery clinics for men?

The Australian Medical Association (AMA) wants to ban women under 20 from getting breast implants because it believes teenage bodies have not developed enough to have the procedure, according to Seven News in Australia. In the United States, the guidelines from American Society of Plastic Surgeons already discourage its members from operating on anyone below the age of 18 for purely cosmetic breast enhancement procedures.
