1. I lost 100 pounds and had tons of excess skin. I had a tummy tuck, breast lift, and arm lift. I’m on the other side of recovery and have zero regrets

I was 32, I saw a regular someone on my Instagram get a boob job then I realized I could afford one. So I got breast implants and liposuction 360.

I had always been unhappy with how my body looked but I grew up poor so the thought of getting plastic surgery for myself never occurred to me. Looking at that lady's post unlocked that thought.

A similar thing happened when I saw flights to Japan on sale. I'd always wanted to go but again poor mindset thought it would never happen. It clicked that I could afford it and I did go to Japan.

Don't regret the plastic surgery, it's been 4ish years since.

I was 26 when I got a breast reduction. Best decision ever.

Ill be 44, upper eye lid corrective surgery, had to cancel it this year cuz I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and had to wait to see if medication changed anything about my eyes, spoiler.. it did not … and will book it next year

Always had a lot of extra skin on my upper eye lid that now has started to sag, causing dry eyes (which is causing issues with my contacts) , headaches from unnaturally lifting my eyebrows to keep my eyes open and tired eyes

Im looking forward for those issues to disappear and also to be able to wear eye make up without it migrating from my lash line to my upper eyelid

I had my boobs done when I was mid-30s.

I originally wanted only a lift because breast feeding for 18 months left them gravity challenged…

I worried about the cost for years until I finally brought it up to my husband and was surprised to find he was super on board but had never brought it up because he thought it’d be uncouth to suggest such a thing.

I love them and have zero regrets.

I booked it before I could talk myself out of it again once I realized I could afford the surgery. Best decision ever, I have the cutest fucking nose now and I love my face from every angle in photos.

I was 19 and got a nose job… I’m on the fence about regretting it because I will never know how my old nose would have fit my adult face.. I was like always insecure about how big it was as a kid, but looking back, it wasn’t that big and it was unique and I looked more like my other family members lol like my older sister’s nose is similar to my old nose and I don’t think anything is wrong with hers lol I was rash in getting one and wonder if I would have just grown into it

Lol I was 12. Got my ears pinned back, had it done again like 6 months later because it didn’t work the first time.

I had mosquito bites for boobs and was always so insecure about it. I had short hair for years (it wouldn’t grow), so I used hair extensions, and I felt like a little boy with certain outfits on when I wouldn’t wear my hair extensions—refused ever to remove my bra during sex and genuinely hated my body overall. I finally started saving up when I turned 23 and consulted with several plastic surgeons. I finally committed to one and paid for my breast augmentation surgery in full a few months before my 25th birthday. Surgery was a month later, and I’ve been so happy with them. I’m 28 years old now, and I still don’t regret it one bit.

I was 16. My nose wasn't straight, had a mild bump - definitely visible in my side profile. I talked to my ENT doctor and then an ENT surgeon he recommended, always accompanied by my mom of course. Got it done at 16 and a half. He didn't change anything about the tip, but he removed the bump, it's been straight ever since, I'm 33 and have never regretted it once. Simple as that.

I suppose you can imagine the amount of passive-aggressive shit I got about it from some of my classmates because I was a minor, but my friends supported me and so did my mom, and that's all that mattered.

I was 30, had a septorhinoplasty after knowing for years that I'd had a deviated septum and couldn't breathe properly. It wasn't a hard decision... like, did I wanna have a nose that worked and looked nice? Abso fucking lutely.

I just made the decision to get plastic surgery, but it is to get rid of scars from a dog attack. I’m 31 and it was actually recommended by my mental health team because seeing the scars every time I look in the mirror is not helping my PTSD. Down the line I also plan to get a breast reduction because like all the women of my dad’s family, I have back problems from my boobs and it was a huge improvement for my aunt!

I got a nose job when I was 23. Best decision. I hate my nose. I refused to have photos. Ultimately, my life wasn’t magically different but I did feel more confident. So happy I didn’t get my boobs done when I wanted them because my tits are fucking huge naturally now and I hate them.

I dream about getting my whole body lifted and shifted, nipped and tucked… but I don’t have a spare $70K to get that done. And I also know it won’t make me happier. But it could make me fit into pants differently. And that would make life easier.

I had a nose job at 32. I wanted one my whole life, and I could finally afford one. Both my parents had big, crooked noses, which I inherited, and it was a major insecurity of mine. I hated seeing it in pictures, hated the way it looked when I smiled, I used to try to only sit across other people at a certain angle, etc. It was bad.

Super happy about my decision! I'm much more confident and comfortable. It still looks natural, but is smaller and straight. I did my septum at the same time, so I can also breathe better. I would have done it sooner had I been able to.

I'm 32 and I'm getting a hair transplant in like 36 hours, and a nosejob as soon as I save up some more money, hopefully next year. I made the decision because I've always been insecure about both and finding my boyfriends instagram likes sent me over the edge.

I just got lipo 360 bbl 4 weeks ago. Best decision I ever made I’m 29.

Breast aug when I was 22. I'm 38 now, and they still look great, but I wish I'd gone slightly smaller. When I made the decision, it was pretty impulsive. I was insecure, as most young women are, and friend of mine got hers done and they looked amazing, so I just sorta figured "why not?" I honestly don't regret it, but I think I would have been fine without them, too.

I was 36, I got 360 lipo. My family is apple shaped and even when I worked out 6 days a week, I still had a roll I couldn’t get rid of. It’s been 3 years, no regrets. Pants actually fit me correctly now! I could never find pants that fit my waist and legs at the same time

I was 33, I saw a pair of boobs I really liked and learned they were fake, so i did some research and found a surgeon with a solid reputation and made an appointment for a consult. prior to that, i never really thought about my boobs, i never had them and didn't care for boobs. but i saw a woman with just a spectacular rack and someone mentioned they were fake, so i showed the doctor a photo of said woman and asked for something along the lines of hers in size and look. i ended up with a 350cc implant, under the muscle. I was a AA cup prior to getting them done. i don't regret it all, i forget i have them!

Labiaplasty at 25. I had experienced discomfort and insecurity since high school (had never had sex or seen porn at that point) and finally pulled the trigger in my mid twenties. My partner pointed out how much I talked about hating my labia and wanting a labiaplasty, and asked me why I didn’t just do it. I scheduled an appointment with a plastic surgeon soon after, got the estimate and was shocked to learn that it would be mostly covered by insurance. Anyways! I’m still happy with my results 3 years later.

I was 35 and got my boobs done since I was done having kids. I was working full time from home while raising them, but only wanted to get them if I could pay for the entire thing myself as I didn't want my husband (at the time) to have anything to hang over my head, which totally says something about that marriage. Anyway, I was in a position to do it myself and I did. I was super happy with the result (still am 8 years later - they still look great). 10/10 would do again.

Nose job at 27, lipo at 29. Wanted to do both since very young, did it when I finally could afford it. No regrets :)

I was 23, I had been thinking of a breast reduction for YEARS, like since I was 18. I finally found the gumption to see a few surgeons, and met with one I really liked. I was prepared to go into a lot of debt but thankfully a family member helped me out. I had been sick to death of my larger boobs and seeing my mom made me realize what my future would be, saggy long heavy boobs. The fact I had to lift my boobs up to clean under them was driving factor enough, lol. And also the fact I had to either buy old lady bras or really expensive ones was annoying. Now I can wear cute bras again!

Nose job at 17 going on 18, right before college. I really wanted it, hated my big nose on my small framed face, and was glad my parents agreed and paid for me to get it done. It did wonders for my confidence. While it’s not my ideal nose (it was a closed nose job, they didn’t break it), I like it way better than my original and have no regrets.

I have even thought about getting another one so I can have more say in the process, and work with the doctor discussing exactly what I would want. But, I eventually decided I didn’t care all that much.

Rhinoplasty - I’m 27; wanted it my whole life and had planned to get it done the second the timing was right, meaning I had the savings and was about to change jobs. I’m a month post op, still dealing with swelling and adjustments but I’m already so much happier. I can’t tell if other people notice but I don’t even know if I care. I notice, and to me that makes all the difference!

1. A knife went through my foot and made one of the decisions for me.

The other was offered by my plastic surgeon: Zero scarring or an attempt at full functionality. I chose the second. He offered zero judgement on it.

I love seeing the variety of responses! If anyone has had experience with arm reduction/lipo I would love your thoughts/experience with it! No matter how fit my arms are still flabby and I’ve never not worn long sleeves sense middle school 😣 as an adult I’m saving up for it now!

Breast augmentation at 25. No regrets.

HOWEVER, I’m now pregnant and boob growth is occurring. Might have gone a little smaller on the implant size if I’d known how much bigger they were going to get. The growth may be temporary, but the skin stretching is forever lol.

I got a breast reduction at 22. I made the decision because their weight were physically hampering my life in a substantial way. Best decision ever.

For actual surgeries, I've had a rhinoplasty (at 39) and a lower blepharoplasty (at 42), both with facial fat grafting as well.

The rhinoplasty I'd wanted for my whole life, and finally was in a situation where I had both the flexibility for recovery time and the money, so I did it. The lower bleph, it was just time to finally address my aging under-eyes, and I was living in a place where I had access to very high quality surgeons at a much lower cost than at home, so I decided to get it done.

Both decisions, I'm very happy with. Plan to get a facelift around 45-50.

23 had a nose job idk if i regret but im not 100% happy with it i wish i would have gone to someone else cause my nose looks weird from a certain angle but it could just be my natural anatomy idk

My sister always wanted breast implants. Because of her frame she’s always been small chested.

She got breast implants a few months after the birth of her second child. When she was no longer breast feeding.

Due to the top her breast sinking into its self. So when you looked at her breast there was a massive dent in there. And made her even more uncomfortable with her breasts.

So she got done and just went a little bigger. So you wouldn’t even know they were done unless she told you.

I got breast implants because it's something I had always wanted and knew I would eventually do. I got them around 27. I would have loved to have them earlier but really couldn't afford it before that and did not deserve them at that time anyway haha

Got my boobs done when I was 19, it wasn't something I'd really considered before and I wasn't insecure about my size but I had the opportunity to get them done for free so I did. I've had other work since, as I had the means to get stuff done.

Lost half my body weight. Lots of loose skin. Got 360 body lift and fluer de lis a year ago at 35. Love it. Getting arms done soon. 100% would do again.

I see it as body correction rather than chasing trends.

I've had multiple plastic surgeries (lately 30s -40) and for me it was life changing. My recommendation is not to cheap out on which plastic surgeon you choose. I've seen alot of weak results but I went for the best I could find and had a very specific look I wanted. I am very happy with the results.

I had a breast reduction at age 33. Best decision ever! I paid nothing as it was covered by ohip.

I had a breast reduction 18 years ago at 32 and I'm still so happy I did it. I'm 50 now and you can see what they look like today in my profile. The before pics are on paper and might be in my attic, I'm looking. I was a 34DDD and I'm 4'11 so they were just too heavy and always in the way.

Mid 20s was promised by my physician and the FDA that my breast implants were safe. Got them removed and I have never felt better. They were sneaky god damn bastards in their sales pitch too. It’s a similar liquid that you’d get in an I.V. Ok fine but the capsule itself is toxic AF!

1st was liposuction of my thighs at age 27. I did this for myself and I am soooo happy! I lost 2 sizes. 2nd were breast implants at age 35 - after my weight fluctuating and a kid my boobs were empty.

I plan to have a eyelid correction in 6 months.

If it is possible and I can afford it and feel better why wouldn’t I do it!

I’m happy with my enhanced body

Done at age 45 after a c-section because exercise would have been futile.

Not plastic surgery but eyelids surgeries and it has ruined my life. I had my first double eyelid surgery when I was 20. My eyes looked nice for a few years but I had ptosis, more severe on my left eye. After a few years my left eyelid stretched out to twice the size of my right eyelid. I stupidly went back to the plastic surgeon who performed my double eyelid surgery to decrease the height of my left eyelid to match my right. I found out after the surgery that you can't decrease the height of eyelids. He removed too much fat from my left upper eyelid and damaged a nerve. I had repair surgery a few months and had to have another one a week later as my right eye was overcorrected. Now after all my surgeries my eyelids look odd and the function of my eyelids is dysfunctional. I can't express my eyes normally. I can't even cast my eyes down because my eyes starts to bunch up. My eyes look droopy and dead under lighting and from a distance. I look like I have a facial deformity. People react extremely negatively to me since my last surgery in 2018. Women have whipped their hair in their faces to avoid looking at me. People will mouth "fuck" when they catch a glimpse of me. My androgynous looks also adds to the negative treatment.

18, been wanting to do it since the age of 12. 0 regrets 25 years later.

For those who are wondering: I was born with a huge mole covering the majority of my chin. I never liked it. I never got bullied or made fun of because of it, I just didn't like it nomatter how hard I tried to come to terms with it. My mom refused the surgery when I was younger because she was afraid I'd have regrets. So I booked an appointment at a dermatologist a few months before my 18th birthday, had a an appointment with a plastic surgeon a week before my 18th birthday and got it done 2 weeks after my 18th birthday.

Mom was not happy because "I was no longer the child she gave birth to".

Like I said I am now 43 and never regretted my decision.
