It's been on my mind since i was 11.I have a birthmark that is very noticeable unless I wear makeup over it.I want surgery to get rid of that. Also, I've wanted breast implants lately,however I realized that it was only due to the pressure of media and comments my boyfriend would say.He wouldnt say them on purpose but definitely made me look at myself differently.Will I get it? No,no money.If I had the money would I?Possibly,but corrective surgery on my birthmark first.
That was so emotional Maxine. Thank you for it though. You've given me a few more questions when I go for consultations, can't believe the hate you've had over it. I am trying to get surgery on the NHS because I have very little breast tissue, and since having my kids I've now got no bra size. Which baffles some people, it's so painful for me, I can't look at myself. I really loved this video. You're such a lovely person! :D On another note <3 your eyeshadow! :)
I thought about a boobjob. I hate my breasts, I feel like a boy, they are way too small and I just hate the shape. Luckily I have a boyfriend who loves everything about me, and we've talked about, and he said it would just look weird due to the fact that I am petite, and he wouldn't want me to change anything about myself. If I hadn't had him, I would probably do it.
I have a hemangioma about the size of a quarter on the center of my neck. People gawk at it and sometimes they have the balls to ask me why I was trached (never had a tracheostomy). I can't cover it with makeup or have it lasered off because the tissue is involuted. When I can afford it, I will have it excised by a plastic surgeon.
i wanted to do my nose and my friends her boobs, i now realize that there are people with bigger nose than what i have :p nothing bad or anything but yea. and i said if i find the right one, he/she should LOVE my nose for how it looks :) and i if som people dont like me cause the way i look, fuck them! why should i be around them if they dont like the way look. i said that to my friend and i said small boobs are fin, there a ALOT of people with small boobs you wont DIE! love the way you look
since you have already taken surgery :) i agree with you that it doesnt solve your problems, but surgery is not worth i mean, i cant say love the way you look cause it dont work but, i have a big nose i have droopy eyes im big and i have uneven breats i have a lot of strech marks, i fi had surgery i would feel better but that not the thing, for example if you have surgery to find the right one or to make urself happy, when you find the right one you will know that they loves you for you no the
I would love to get a nose job, I think it's the worst thing about my body. In all honestly, unless someone handed me the money I probably wouldn't do it. I've never had surgery and I really rather not ever have to have surgery. I wish I could say I had a cute button nose or something along those lines, but I just don't. I wasn't born that way. I try to accept that, to make it easier for myself.
This video made my eyes water. You're a gorgeous woman and I'm so sorry you have to go through this.
@BabyLoveeBunny It's not JUST about the money, I'm also scared to death of having complications. My nose is on my face and to have something go wrong with a surgery on my FACE would be worse than just living with nose I have. I've also considered breast implants, but that's a whole different story.
I hope all is well with you and that you're enjoying your new apartment/flat. I love you and everything you have to say. You're amazing and thank you for having such a big heart. <3
You are such a strong person! and you have changed my thought on cosmetic surgery, i thought of breast implants because i basically have no boobs. I could tell you was meaning what you were saying because you was tearing up, i really look up to you, you are amazing maxine!!!
Im13 and everytimei look in the mirrorialways point out to myself my imperfections. Sometimes it even makes me cry. I always complain,that im completly flat chested and oneof my boobs is bigger than the other. I know im only13 but at high school when your surrunded with people inyour year who has DD and theres me just filling a B i always well i can have surgery when im older it will all go awayalso i hate my stomach my flat bum, everything. But thanks for showing it aint always the answer <3
I think about cosmetic surgery more then i should at my age (14) I've been bullied because of the way i look and im still insecure about some things .e.g. My weight. But at the moment, im trying to just be happy about who i am. My family and my boyfriend tell me that im beautiful ..etc... and hopefully one day i will believe them. Thanks for making this video, it has helped me in a way :) <3
(cont) that it has on young girls, so this subject is extremely near and dear to my heart and one that I think about often. You should be so proud of your intelligence, passion, and conviction-- I assure you that it has helped more people than you realize. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out-- never forget that. Keep your chin up and keep doing what you do, lovely. Seriously, thank you so, so much for this.
(cont.) body and make me feel more 'womanly'?" The fact that you took the time to address the seriousness of this issue gives me so much hope in so many ways... I feel like if people become more informed in these areas, it will help them understand why it's so important to live a life of positivity and self-acceptance as opposed to buckling under the pressure of society and criticism. I recently completed an art series surrounding the portrayal of women in the media and the effect (continued)
Thank you so much for posting this. Your message has touched me more deeply than I could ever tell you-- as someone who has endured constant struggles with body image issues for years, I completely understand where you're coming from and hope that all is well for you. While I am opposed to getting surgery myself, I have often wondered the very thing that you discussed in this video-- "Will breast implants help me come to terms with my(continued)
i have considered surgery because my boobs are not the that big, they are not really small but i am not happy with them. but i have years to decide about that as i am only 14. i think you are an insperation to many girls and women who watch you videos, and you are my idol. you have explained in a more serious way to me the effects surgery can have on someone, things that i would never even consider so thankyou x
@littlekitty2755 I know its hard, but, find a way to love yourself and love your body. My faith i my god helped me to realise that I might not be the prettiest, but, to someone, I just might be <3 much love :')
I've considered surgery. Still am, actually. I'm 20 years old, and I have huge breasts, and I'm considering getting a breast reduction. I'm going to try to loose weight first, but if that doesn't help, I think I'll go ahead and have it done. Big breasts are bad for my neck and back, I have a hard time finding clothes that fit, and everytime I meet someone new all they see are my breasts. I get so many comments, so many looks, so much talking behind my back. I put up with it, but I'm so tired.
When suppose to then it was another two weeks I cried until My face was Pure red and tear stained. People would always stair at me, then ask me did you get into a fight (cause of the missing teeth) or they'd say Hey look it's a rare Hairless beaver. little imperfections like mine hurt feels so much. You never know how someone feels about those sorts of things, so if someone and the slightest impureaty Don't Mock them or tease them. Thats my surgrey story.
I've had teeth inplates, cause I was born with out the teeth next to the front ones, I had an extra set of K-9's but they where babies and were going to fall out. I got them yanked out had braces for 5 years, then when to a retainer for 3 years. It was a long depressing journey I've had people call me buggs bunny cause My retainer would break ALL THE TIME! It hurt and finally after waiting yet another year I got the screws put in my mouth for the implates. But they didn't come in.
ur not alone hun every1 has dislikes bout themselves no mattr what.we all struggle tryin to be perfect & we all gotta learn that those women n the magazines and on t.v are airbrushed & edited.perfect doesnt exist & its our own flaws that make us unique.my mom always told me"dnt u think the world would be borin if every1 was perfect & lookd the same"?.u gotta embrace everything u got no matter if its a scar a big nose or small boobs or nething.YOUR beautiful dont let no1 tell u different :)
i love that ur real & ur lookin out for so many people.i recently had w8 loss surgery a month ago & im expectin to loose alot of w8 lately ive bin thinkin bout all the cosmetic surgery ill need for mybody to look normal again.my breasts have already shrunk a cupsize & its very depressin bcuz i understand exactly how u feel bout breasts making u feel more feminine& i asked myself if the surgery was worth it.overall ill be healthier but mentally i will suffr.
Ive thought of a rhinoplasty (primarily) and lip injections, jaw reduction and breast augmentation, but most seriously a rhinoplasty, I think it would solve not everything, but one of the most important problems of mine.
I'm losing at least 100 lbs of fat and I know I will need surgery to put everything back where it will belongs. I am scared, but I know it's worth the risk.
I must say, you've touched (and well covered) a very important for all women/girls and people in general. I mean, I don't like a lot of things about my body..I'm 16 and sometimes there's nothing I hate more than myself and think oh maybe if I did get a surgery...but then I remember I've been there. I had heart surgery when I was 9 and then decided, if I don't HAVE to, not going to. But thanks for posting this, because it addresses a hugely important issue of today.
I also have thought about getting a boob job to make me feel more in proportion. But I am concerned with the question of "When will it end?". After I get a boob job what will I want then? I've never liked my weight ,so lipo? One of my eyebrows is slightly higher, should I get that fixed? I've never had a problem getting a boyfriend & I have amazing family and friends so why must I pick myself apart? At my funeral I want them to speak of my achievements not how I hacked my body & was never happy.
I had my ears put back when I was 16 as I felt uncomfortable having my hair up. I like how they look now but they are very hard and they look quite different to each other. I sometimes worry about a blood clot which isone possible risk from this surgery. The first night after surgery was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Apart from the occasional thought of blood clot I don't think about my ears at all so I would have to say I don't regret having it done.
I have considered surgery but it is something that im not really up for. Like you said there are always risks and thats something that is always on my mind. Like u i was always made fun of called fat or made fun of because boobs are not big yada yada yada and it made me really think about surgery because i got emotionally damaged but after time ive come to realize that i have to love myself. Im still working on it but i think its worth to try to love yourself first... =) your a strong woman =)
I have never considered plastic surgery because I have had surgery before and I knew how horrible you feel after surgery. I am so glad that you brought up the complications that can take place after surgery. It isn't something to take lightly. Not at all. I hope your surgery goes well and you are happy with the results.
you are so beautiful it's not even funny,If I was half as pretty as you are I'd be ecstatic.Don't let other people's views affect you,ur awesome girl :) I hope you have a healthy and speedy recovery!! you're beautiful on the inside AND the outside
nothing at all, i went on a crash diet for a whole year and i lost 30 pounds i would look at myself in the mirror and although i lost 30 pounds i still felt like
i'm was a cow and i'm the fattest thing in the world. so i started throwing up
to make myself thin. i wouldnt eat anything at all during the week and then i
would have one day in the weekend (saturday) where i would eat whever i
wanted and just go crazy with it and eat,eat,eat and then after i would throw it all
I want to say you are an inspiration to me and probably tons of other people watching this(:
And, yes I have considered surgery. I have a larger nose, and always get teased about it. It's my biggest insecurity. I'm really young on top of that. After watching your video about this, it makes me believe in myself, and I am who I am and I should be proud.
To every negative, there's a positive. Always remember that.
youre wonderful & i love your videos, thank you for making such an honest vlog
i'm planning on getting the breast implants in a few years time when i'm financially ready, as i'm a university student & it's not quite affordable right now.. thank you for reinforcing some of the important things to think about, as i'm one of those people who do things off a whim, even when theyre as serious as this..
my prayers are with you & i wish you all the best of luck hun.. xox, you do you & f the haters
First of all, I wish you THE BEST of luck with the surgery. I also wish your mom the best of luck with waiting. Waiting is a huge pain in the ass. My grandma has had 3+ surgeries.
Well, I've thought about doing lipo.. Because I think I'm huge. I have girl boobs (I'm gay, and that doesn't help with bullying at school) I can wear a bra put on girl clothes, and actually make people think I'm a girl. I really hate my body. With a burning passion. Everyone thinks I'm beautiful, but I can't even com
I used to be very insecure about my body. I've heard a lot of people say that small breasts aren't "womanly", and that they're not a "natural size" unless they're larger. You're making the same comments that made me think my body was ugly and that I was less of a woman because of my small breasts. Thankfully, I've learned to love how I look, but there are lots of girls that are still affected by this "real women have curves" attitude. Please think about what you say. It can be very hurtful.
I ALWAYS think about surgery. And I'm only 14. I hate my body. Hate it more than anything. But I've turned to other than that. I use makeup and body mods because those make me feel better about myself. I feel beautiful when I have my piercings in and no one understands that. I've always wanted liposuction though because I feel like I'm far too overweight. But I'm trying natural ways to change that. Surgery may help people, but it just scares me. Mods are my help. And you are my idol<3
I've never thought about surgery but one of my best friends got the form of breast implant where they just inject salene by going through your belly button and passed away not too long ago because the surgeon scraped one of her internal organs and it burst open and she basically bled to death... You really need to seriously deeply consider what can go wrong before you have any surgery done. It also affects your freinds & loved ones. Just as she's saying in this vlog... be careful.
ive had insecurity issues/eating disorders since i was 10 years old and i am now 24 and over time have been more and more obsessed with appearance and considered cosmetic surgery and still consider it. i went to a consultation about it one time but then i cancelled it. its so hard in this society especially for alot of young girls and women because the emphasis is on perfection and having a perfect body and perfect everything in order to be accepted and feel pretty. your video made me cry!
I subbed to your channel today for the makeup. I'm glad you're not only about beauty, but about health and common sense as well. I've had a reduction (bigger chests are overrated, trust me). I don't regret it, but I think that if I had lost 30 lbs (+2 stones) before, I might not have felt like I needed it. I'm too afraid of any surgery that would add anything unnatural to my body.
I don't think you're fake at all, I think you're honest and brave to talk about it!
I've thought about it. I want to get a breast lift, because I've had weight problems my whole life and from loosing and gaining so much weight, I have extremely saggy breasts. I hate them. But I don't think I could ever go through surgery. I'm too scared of the consequences.
I have considered surgary, infact so much that i was planning on having one this week. Im 15 years old, and i have a mole on my forhead which i plan on getting removed. There is very small risk to the surgary, but then again, there is still a risk. I have been bullied almost everyday since i started primary school, so if it means having a bully-free day for even one day, its worth considering. THAT is why i want to have it. my family have been helping me throughout and im so grateful.
girl.. i adore you. your so honest. and i mean i have considered a nose job. but i'm only 16 and i am going to wait till i'm 21 b/c my nose may not be done growing.. and welll. i have a big hump on the brig of my nose and i get teased about it all the time.. people call me peniokio. (not that i know how to spell that lol)
but my nose is also starting to squezz in and cause a hard time for me to breath threw my nose..
I've considered it but I think you pretty much just changed my mind. Lately I've been looking into natural ways to change my body before seriously considering surgery but I think I'll just have to learn to love myself, inside and out. Thanks for the video hun. It means more to some of us than you know. xx
My mom says I should get a reduction to save my back, but this video pretty much explains why I don't want it.
The whole idea of surgery terrifies me. The not knowing if you're even going to wake up afterwards doesn't seem worth it to me personally. That opinion may change when my back starts to give out though.....
hai, I have been displeased with my body for quite sometime. I have went up and down with my weight so many times that my boobs are about to my bellybutton... I would love to get them lifted, but i have been working on myself a lot lately (I have some "great" psycologic isues) and i have stopped smoking, today i checked my bmi, and im morbidly obbese now... I dont know what to do, i just know that surgery is not going to do much... love you! watch you like a religion! you are so strong! xoxo
I have had cosmetic surgery. I actually had the opposite of yours though Max. I was really insecure about my body bc I had very very very Large breasts. I couldn't wear a bathing suit. My bottoms were way to small and the top was just Eewwww!!!! I would cry bc they looked that bad. So at the age of 23 I went under the knife. I had my
Breasts reduced a's well a's lifted... Just like you it took a year for them to drop. But I'm so glad!!! I can wear a swimsuit!! I can wear things that I could on
I was a fairly late bloomer I didn't start the whole "developing boobs" thing til I was about 17 years old so for the majority of my teens I can remember looking down at my A cups thinking they were horrible. Since then they got lots bigger and im sure a breast augmentation would be horrifying. But literally ever since I can remember I've hated my nose and wanted a diff one (still do) I constantly think bout it(but id never do it cuz I have B.D.D. and know that that wouldn't "fix" anything)
i had a surgery when i was a child (like 6 or 7) because i had a growth on my tongue and i used to cry because i wasn't normal.
but i've considered other surgeries now that i am 17, but every time i've looked into them, i have been too scared because of all the complications and potential problems in the future.
You are such a great person. The raw emotion in this proves your dedication to this serious topic. I wish you well in surgery and I hope everything works out well!
I wish you the best of luck that this gets sorted, you're so beautiful and such a strong person, hang in there! Again best of luck and best wishes, much love xoxo
I thought I needed a breast lift. My ex told me my breasts were saggy. I was 17 at the time with a DD chest. Luckily my husband told me he forbid to get one and then I realized it wasn't worth it. The pain, the suffering, the cost. I am perfect the way I am and all I need is a good push up bra. ;)
Maxine, you are so beautifu and big inspiration..don´t worry, everything will be ok in this time...btw - there are people who love you and your videos too, I am one of them <3
I love your videos, and thanks for sharing your experience my best wishes with your upcomming surgery. And i have thought about plastic surgery...againg thanks for your words of wisdom. kisses girl!
I don't know if you'll read this but I thought about cosmetic surgery a lot. I'm heavy so because of the bullying I've dealt with since Primary school I thought of lap-band surgery. When I discovered my Acid-reflux wouldn't allow me to get this I decided to go vegetarian to eat better. I haven't experienced any weight loss but I defiantly feel happier. Btw I think you are beautiful I love your videos. They inspire me. :3
Last August I finally got a breast augmentation after years of obsessing, and it has helped more than I could have imagined-- but it has helped in the sense that it made me stop obsessing about my chest, whereas now I am obsessing about other things- mostly my weight (I am not overweight.. but I'm not rail thin like I used to be). So, I guess what I'm trying to say is.. plastic surgery can help, but for me, it has led to me feeling like I need to be overall "perfect."
im almost 19 and i have considered getting plastic surgery to get my breast reduced for 3 years now. The main reason i want to get them done is because the pain. Being naterly big chested hurts, but i dont think i could go threw with the surgery. Good luck with your surgery hope it works out for you and you have inspired me so much and i thank you for that.
I very much want to get a breast reduction but I'm scared of what they will look like after.. my reasons for wanting it are more for the pain they cause me in everyday life and the fact that it is very difficult to exercise properly! Very frustrating!!
Good luck. I hope you get the scar tissue fixed, heal quickly and get it all taken care of. It was really brave of you to come forth like this. I'm not completely against cosmetic surgery, I'm of the opinion that if you really want it--if it will enhance you in a constructive way for you and only you (not because someone else wants you to do it) then I support it--but in any other situation I don't and I think that's the difference between modification and mutilation. Good luck!
Suprised so many people have considered it...I honestly havent and i do have a low self eestem about the way i look , my weight but i'd never go under the knife
I have considered surgery even tho i didnt need it, now that im a mom of 2 i think about getting a tummy tuck all the time but i kno that the risk outweighs the positive...ur an amazing women and u should never let anyone tell u otherwise
I've had three children and have DD cups and not to get too personal, but they do get a bit droopy. Plus I would love to get rid of the 'love handles' that I have and the flabby tummy. I also have a C-section scar that I know will never go away. That scar I've accepted as a part of being a mother and I've grown to love it. The rest... well I've always really considered surgery. However, the complications are not worth it to me. Thank you for sharing your story! You've inspired me greatly!
I love your videos sooo much Maxine! even tho your suffering if awful and I hate it's a wonderful learning curve for young girls like myself and it's amazing! although I'm still going to have my surgery when I turn 19...
I've considered having surgery on my stomach because it got overly stretched from have three children. Even before your video the idea scared the crap out of me. I researched it and saw pics of success stories but also pics of healing that went badly. That in itself made me change my mind is it really worth it. I can cover it. I can wear undergarments that hold me in etc. So thank you for this Maxine i hope everything goes well for you. Big hugs i'll be thinking about that day. lots of love.
I wish I knew you in person so I could give you a big hug.
I have considered plastic surgery for my nose. But being teased about it throughout school and such made me stronger. I actually am learning to like my nose because it's unique. And "flaws" make people beautiful, anyway.
I hope to see an update from you once you've started to recover! I hope all goes well and my prayers are with you.
Ive sat down with my mom and talked about gettin my nose done..ever since i was little my family has told me all my life that my nose was big and they've tortured me about it. Im only 14 and at the age of 12 my mother asked if i wanted cosmetic surgery and she asked so that she could start saving up so that on my 16th b-day i could have it
I've said no countless times...but i cant help but wonder what if the teasing and torture never stops
I used to want surgery to make me curvier, up and down. I felt flat as a board. But that was a few years ago. I dont want to anymore. I suppose i was so young i didnt really realize how many years down the road i have to grow and as far as im concerned, im in good shape now, at least in my opinion. And my opinion is all that matters to me <3 Youre a huge inspiration, and im glad i took the time to watch this and you to make it. Thank you.
ive thought about it. i have a large chest and most people think its ridiculous when i say i think about getting my boobs done. not to get them bigger but women who have big boobs know there heavy, know they sag... alot. so the only reason i would say i would is to pick up those puppys back were they belong. but its just a thought.
Coming from someone who has dreamed of getting cosmetic surgery since the age of 9, I thank you very much for spreading the side of cosmetic surgery that others do not inform you of. I felt that getting a nose job and/or lipo was my only shot of being happy. I no longer feel this way, seeing that I researched countless horror stories. I saw so many regretful faces. I really hope these videos get through to someone. "Pretty" surgery isn't always that pretty itself. Thank you, Maxine.
I'm 17 and I have "considered" getting breast implants or something of that nature because my breasts aren't shaped like normal women's breasts. I know I could still grow into them and that's one of the reasons I decided I wouldn't do it. Plus I've just learned to deal with it. I wouldn't say learned to "love" my breasts, that's a bit of a stretch but, I can tolerate them now without looking in the mirror and having a negative thought every time. It gets better with time, I've noticed.
I've gotten so much shit from so many people for getting a nosejob (Even if my nose was broken beyond full performance) but you know what? I've never felt prettier than I do now a year after (: The only downside was looking like a Na'vi from the movie Avatar for 3 months, Fun times lol Good luck Maxine, I'm sure it's gonna be just fine (:
when i turned 18 the first thing on my mind was...yes now i can have surgery. I spent my entire childhood, and my life now infact, completely absorbed by disorders,psychiatrists, psychologists, hospitals, how i look. Being on deaths door etc. Ive never spoken of this, i just feel i can relate to you. Ive never had this feeling before. I ve never been in any position money wise to actually get a breast enhancement and your video's made me think that perhaps thats a good thing. Thankyouverymuch x
Hang in there Maxine there are some haters but there are about ten good people to each one of them :) there is a lot of love for you on YouTube so don't forget that xx
Your MESSAGE ROCKS!!!! EVERY woman I know has either:THOUGHT about it ,HAD, or WANTS cosmetic breast surgery of some kind!!!!! As well as a "what would I get "done" if I had the money for it" list. Myself included -someone who just had an oxyegen facial, botox and facial capillaries zapped with a laser last week. Thanks Maxine, I'm listening, and hear ya! I appreciate it.
The only think I like about myself is my teeth & I've had a corrective surgery, braces, & my wisdom teeth removed.I hate that I feel like my body needs corrected to make me feel okay about myself.
I'm only 16, it's not fair to have a body that I hate this much...
I had implants 10 years ago...it went hideously wrong. My right breast was so badly deformed, the implant was being pulled up into my collarbone. I had "corrections" done 3 months after the initial surgery, which were ok for awhile, but every couple of months, the right breast would again pull up and go rock hard. Now 10 years down the road, some days i can barely lift my arms above my head, or pick up my daughter. I'm sure I will have to give in and either have them corrected again or removed.
Ive always considered breast implants. As much as i want them, Ive been able to hold off... but only because I dont have the funds. If i had the money and I was faced with a real decision, im not sure what i would do anymore. as i get older i realize the things i thought would make me happy dont give me the satisfaction i once thought they would.
i don't know if this counts for cosmetic surgery but i'm crossed eye.but you can't really tell unless you look or whatever.but i wanted surgery to fix my eye cause i'm insecure about it.i would be called crossed eye bitch by some people.and i am a 16 year old in high school.i almost cried but i just dismissed it.i guess i know how u feel but on the bright side it will get better one day.so thanks for making this video and good luck on ur surgery.
Im glad i saw this, i used to have small petite boobs that i loved then i put on about 100 lbs last year and they've dropped significantly. I thought the only hope for me now is a breast augmentation, but i know i am not going to be able to handle all of the aftermath. I had no idea you had the surgery for a long time, i wish you hadn't bc it hurts my heart to see you this frustrated and stressed. My prayers will be with you on that day as well as everyone else that loves you, no worries. <3
Yes, I did. Since I was...14? I have a huge crooked nose. And I always feel compared to my friends, who ALL have beautiful straight noses. I always felt like the ugly evil witch with a wart on her nose between them. and everyone was loving them, but nobody me, and they were laughing and pointing at me, for being so ugly.
I still think about getting my nose done. But not now. Maybe in the future.
I hope your surgery goes fine, I hope you'll be perfectly fine! ♥
Back when I was 15, I considered having a breast reduction. I started to develop young; I began to look like a teenager at just 11. I'm glad I never took it any further. I'm almost 19, of course I still have my imperfections, but I don't consider having surgery any more. I wish you the best of luck for yours.
well done hun this was hard for you to do but very brave hope all goes well with the corrective surgery and dont listen to stupid idiots passing insensitive comments because thats all they are stupid idiots
I hope your surgery goes safely, and I don't blame you for wanting to create yourself as aesthetically pleasing to yourself, I'm just sorry that you've got to go through that again due to the complications.
I've always tought about having breast surgery , not aumentation but the other way arround,still I'm to young to say anything,Istill don't know if they will grow more or not,if they do , maybe I will , in my family every woman has big breasts and it freaks me out because you can get breathing problems and other problems and I dont want that ,and people make fun of me and they say bad stuff.. I hope everything goes well with you <3
yes, i've considered to have my crooked nose done, because a lot of people say that my nose is too big. i thought a lot about it and i came to the conclusion not having my nose done. sorry for my english, i'm swiss :)
Ive considered to have liposuction and im only fourteen. Overweight . Tried diets. Starvations. Throwing up. EVERYTHING. Surgery just seems like the only answer. But really i know its not ! x
What a powerful, moving video--thank you so much for posting. I don't think I've ever felt *good* about my body or liked what I've seen in the mirror, especially now, but I have two beautiful children to show for the stretch marks and a husband who tells me I'm beautiful regardless. I would love to get physically fit and then if I could afford it, have some procedures done to make me more confident. Again, thank you for this video--so many people take cosmetic surgery far too lightly.
I always think that my butt is way to big. I have already thought about surgery and I'm only fifteen, I feel really bad for almost everything on my body. My nose, my hips, my ass, my stomach, I want to get surgery or just stop eating so my body can be skinny. This made me rethink a bit though.
I'd like to thank you for going through the time and trouble for making serious, informative videos like these on top of your tutorials and other videos. They are really helpful, and your insight and personal experience must really help your viewers. There aren't a lot of people on YouTube who'd like to use their vast viewerhood to talk about important stuff like this, so thanks for being such an awesome and good-hearted person :)
You're beautiful Maxine, thank you so much for talking to us about your experience. When I turned 14 my breasts grew to 48 DD, for a tiny girl it was very very painful not to mention the way my classmates harshly teased me and would try to grope me while I was walking to class. I was very athletic during that time and my breast made it even more painful to play sports. I considered having a breast reduction surgery.
I used to consider it when I was much younger. I was a called a boy all the time because of how flat chested I was when I was in middle school. So I felt like I was always going to be flat chested and no guy would ever like me. But it turns out I was a late bloomer. So I don't even consider breast implants anymore. I also wanted a nose job, but now I have no issues with my nose.
such a helpful video, thank you for opening my eyes to the world of surgery. i always say i want a boob job but i always think of the good results. now i have change my perspective
and i considered surgery i wanted to get breast implants and a nose job i dont care too much to get the implants but i really want a nose job ive always been told my nose is too big and i hate it with a passion
Every now and then, I think to myself that surgery would be a good idea for me. I don't know if I'd ever actually go through with it, but it has crossed my mind, for the exact reasons you mentioned. People saying things, people hurting my feelings, even when they probably don't mean to. Looking in the mirror, not being happy with what I see. Honestly, I think most people feel this way, but not all of them actually do something about it.
I have considered getting a nose job, liposuction and bum inplants when I was 13 because i was really body consious but now I have grown into my nose but i am still thinking about getting lipo and bum implants
thank you for your honesty, im sure it means a lot to a lot of viewers,including myself, i hope it all goes well, your an amazing person and an inspiration <3
I thought about breast implants because I'm flat chested but quite chubby. So having my belly poke out more than my breasts just makes me feel fatter. My friend has G Cup breast where I have A cups, we often joke that she stole my share lol. But seeing someone with naturally large breasts, and seeing all the stretch marks, I don't think about surgery anymore
I am 14 years old, and "of chourse" i never had a cosmetic operation. But i would like to do so much on my body: bigger breast, correct my nose, bigger lips...
But honestly, i never thought about the risk, or that i would put my body in the line. Because i always think: It wont happen to you. You will have luck, like always.
Thank you! In deed i have considered it, but I'm trying to love my body the way it is and its a hurdle sometimes, but its a last resort in my mind. <3 <3 <3 you for doing this video and just take care of you and try to take it easy, one day at a time. Just know that your subbies are here to support you 100% @ least I am <3. XOXO
I have considered having surgery when I'm older. I'm only 14 and I think you're absolutely beautiful and seem like a genuinely nice person. I get bullied for the way I look. And to add to that I've always wanted bigger boobs. But on a positive note, this video made me think of what risk I would put myself under if I actually had surgery when I'm older. All I have to say is thanks. You've put a different outlook in my head and I'm not sure if I would even put my self a that risk! Thanks again!:-)
I hope your surgery goes very well and solves the problems you are having.
I'm 20, and have considered cosmetic surgery but in the last 2 years I would say, I have changed my mind completely. For me I wanted a breast enlargement and liposuction, but after taking time to think about things I realised that life really is too short to be worrying about things like that. And the risks and cons far outweigh the positives of having surgery, for myself. Its just not worth it.
ive definitely thought about it but as ive only recently turned 18, ive never considered it seriously. After youre video, i realise surgery wouldnt be worth it, not for me anyway. Theres too much that can go wrong.
I wish you all the best for the operation and post-op.
I've thought about it in terms of once I finished losing the weight I want to depending on if I have excess skin after... if I want to have surgery for that. I've never really wanted any sort of cosmetic surgery... but if I had excess skin, I MIGHT consider it.
I've never considered cosmetic surgery in the way you mean... the only thing I've ever considered is having gastric bypass/lap band/etc in order to lose weight. I've never taken the plunge because it feels like a cop out, even though I know it's not "easy
It's been on my mind since i was 11.I have a birthmark that is very noticeable unless I wear makeup over it.I want surgery to get rid of that. Also, I've wanted breast implants lately,however I realized that it was only due to the pressure of media and comments my boyfriend would say.He wouldnt say them on purpose but definitely made me look at myself differently.Will I get it? No,no money.If I had the money would I?Possibly,but corrective surgery on my birthmark first.

That was so emotional Maxine. Thank you for it though. You've given me a few more questions when I go for consultations, can't believe the hate you've had over it. I am trying to get surgery on the NHS because I have very little breast tissue, and since having my kids I've now got no bra size. Which baffles some people, it's so painful for me, I can't look at myself. I really loved this video. You're such a lovely person! :D On another note <3 your eyeshadow! :)

I thought about a boobjob. I hate my breasts, I feel like a boy, they are way too small and I just hate the shape. Luckily I have a boyfriend who loves everything about me, and we've talked about, and he said it would just look weird due to the fact that I am petite, and he wouldn't want me to change anything about myself. If I hadn't had him, I would probably do it.

I have a hemangioma about the size of a quarter on the center of my neck. People gawk at it and sometimes they have the balls to ask me why I was trached (never had a tracheostomy). I can't cover it with makeup or have it lasered off because the tissue is involuted. When I can afford it, I will have it excised by a plastic surgeon.

I would love to get a nose job, I think it's the worst thing about my body. In all honestly, unless someone handed me the money I probably wouldn't do it. I've never had surgery and I really rather not ever have to have surgery. I wish I could say I had a cute button nose or something along those lines, but I just don't. I wasn't born that way. I try to accept that, to make it easier for myself.
This video made my eyes water. You're a gorgeous woman and I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

@BabyLoveeBunny It's not JUST about the money, I'm also scared to death of having complications. My nose is on my face and to have something go wrong with a surgery on my FACE would be worse than just living with nose I have. I've also considered breast implants, but that's a whole different story.
I hope all is well with you and that you're enjoying your new apartment/flat. I love you and everything you have to say. You're amazing and thank you for having such a big heart. <3

I've considered surgery. Still am, actually. I'm 20 years old, and I have huge breasts, and I'm considering getting a breast reduction. I'm going to try to loose weight first, but if that doesn't help, I think I'll go ahead and have it done. Big breasts are bad for my neck and back, I have a hard time finding clothes that fit, and everytime I meet someone new all they see are my breasts. I get so many comments, so many looks, so much talking behind my back. I put up with it, but I'm so tired.

I've had teeth inplates, cause I was born with out the teeth next to the front ones, I had an extra set of K-9's but they where babies and were going to fall out. I got them yanked out had braces for 5 years, then when to a retainer for 3 years. It was a long depressing journey I've had people call me buggs bunny cause My retainer would break ALL THE TIME! It hurt and finally after waiting yet another year I got the screws put in my mouth for the implates. But they didn't come in.

I also have thought about getting a boob job to make me feel more in proportion. But I am concerned with the question of "When will it end?". After I get a boob job what will I want then? I've never liked my weight ,so lipo? One of my eyebrows is slightly higher, should I get that fixed? I've never had a problem getting a boyfriend & I have amazing family and friends so why must I pick myself apart? At my funeral I want them to speak of my achievements not how I hacked my body & was never happy.

I had my ears put back when I was 16 as I felt uncomfortable having my hair up. I like how they look now but they are very hard and they look quite different to each other. I sometimes worry about a blood clot which isone possible risk from this surgery. The first night after surgery was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Apart from the occasional thought of blood clot I don't think about my ears at all so I would have to say I don't regret having it done.

I have considered surgery but it is something that im not really up for. Like you said there are always risks and thats something that is always on my mind. Like u i was always made fun of called fat or made fun of because boobs are not big yada yada yada and it made me really think about surgery because i got emotionally damaged but after time ive come to realize that i have to love myself. Im still working on it but i think its worth to try to love yourself first... =) your a strong woman =)

more than ever. & i want that i want to be comfertable with my body

I used to be very insecure about my body. I've heard a lot of people say that small breasts aren't "womanly", and that they're not a "natural size" unless they're larger. You're making the same comments that made me think my body was ugly and that I was less of a woman because of my small breasts. Thankfully, I've learned to love how I look, but there are lots of girls that are still affected by this "real women have curves" attitude. Please think about what you say. It can be very hurtful.

I ALWAYS think about surgery. And I'm only 14. I hate my body. Hate it more than anything. But I've turned to other than that. I use makeup and body mods because those make me feel better about myself. I feel beautiful when I have my piercings in and no one understands that. I've always wanted liposuction though because I feel like I'm far too overweight. But I'm trying natural ways to change that. Surgery may help people, but it just scares me. Mods are my help. And you are my idol<3

I've never thought about surgery but one of my best friends got the form of breast implant where they just inject salene by going through your belly button and passed away not too long ago because the surgeon scraped one of her internal organs and it burst open and she basically bled to death... You really need to seriously deeply consider what can go wrong before you have any surgery done. It also affects your freinds & loved ones. Just as she's saying in this vlog... be careful.

I subbed to your channel today for the makeup. I'm glad you're not only about beauty, but about health and common sense as well. I've had a reduction (bigger chests are overrated, trust me). I don't regret it, but I think that if I had lost 30 lbs (+2 stones) before, I might not have felt like I needed it. I'm too afraid of any surgery that would add anything unnatural to my body.
I don't think you're fake at all, I think you're honest and brave to talk about it!
Good luck on your surgery!

I have considered surgary, infact so much that i was planning on having one this week. Im 15 years old, and i have a mole on my forhead which i plan on getting removed. There is very small risk to the surgary, but then again, there is still a risk. I have been bullied almost everyday since i started primary school, so if it means having a bully-free day for even one day, its worth considering. THAT is why i want to have it. my family have been helping me throughout and im so grateful.

I have had cosmetic surgery. I actually had the opposite of yours though Max. I was really insecure about my body bc I had very very very Large breasts. I couldn't wear a bathing suit. My bottoms were way to small and the top was just Eewwww!!!! I would cry bc they looked that bad. So at the age of 23 I went under the knife. I had my
Breasts reduced a's well a's lifted... Just like you it took a year for them to drop. But I'm so glad!!! I can wear a swimsuit!! I can wear things that I could on

I was a fairly late bloomer I didn't start the whole "developing boobs" thing til I was about 17 years old so for the majority of my teens I can remember looking down at my A cups thinking they were horrible. Since then they got lots bigger and im sure a breast augmentation would be horrifying. But literally ever since I can remember I've hated my nose and wanted a diff one (still do) I constantly think bout it(but id never do it cuz I have B.D.D. and know that that wouldn't "fix" anything)

i had a surgery when i was a child (like 6 or 7) because i had a growth on my tongue and i used to cry because i wasn't normal.
but i've considered other surgeries now that i am 17, but every time i've looked into them, i have been too scared because of all the complications and potential problems in the future.

I thought I needed a breast lift. My ex told me my breasts were saggy. I was 17 at the time with a DD chest. Luckily my husband told me he forbid to get one and then I realized it wasn't worth it. The pain, the suffering, the cost. I am perfect the way I am and all I need is a good push up bra. ;)

I don't know if you'll read this but I thought about cosmetic surgery a lot. I'm heavy so because of the bullying I've dealt with since Primary school I thought of lap-band surgery. When I discovered my Acid-reflux wouldn't allow me to get this I decided to go vegetarian to eat better. I haven't experienced any weight loss but I defiantly feel happier. Btw I think you are beautiful I love your videos. They inspire me. :3

Last August I finally got a breast augmentation after years of obsessing, and it has helped more than I could have imagined-- but it has helped in the sense that it made me stop obsessing about my chest, whereas now I am obsessing about other things- mostly my weight (I am not overweight.. but I'm not rail thin like I used to be). So, I guess what I'm trying to say is.. plastic surgery can help, but for me, it has led to me feeling like I need to be overall "perfect."

Good luck. I hope you get the scar tissue fixed, heal quickly and get it all taken care of. It was really brave of you to come forth like this. I'm not completely against cosmetic surgery, I'm of the opinion that if you really want it--if it will enhance you in a constructive way for you and only you (not because someone else wants you to do it) then I support it--but in any other situation I don't and I think that's the difference between modification and mutilation. Good luck!

I've had three children and have DD cups and not to get too personal, but they do get a bit droopy. Plus I would love to get rid of the 'love handles' that I have and the flabby tummy. I also have a C-section scar that I know will never go away. That scar I've accepted as a part of being a mother and I've grown to love it. The rest... well I've always really considered surgery. However, the complications are not worth it to me. Thank you for sharing your story! You've inspired me greatly!

I've considered having surgery on my stomach because it got overly stretched from have three children. Even before your video the idea scared the crap out of me. I researched it and saw pics of success stories but also pics of healing that went badly. That in itself made me change my mind is it really worth it. I can cover it. I can wear undergarments that hold me in etc. So thank you for this Maxine i hope everything goes well for you. Big hugs i'll be thinking about that day. lots of love.

I have considered plastic surgery for my nose. But being teased about it throughout school and such made me stronger. I actually am learning to like my nose because it's unique. And "flaws" make people beautiful, anyway.
I hope to see an update from you once you've started to recover! I hope all goes well and my prayers are with you.

Ive sat down with my mom and talked about gettin my nose done..ever since i was little my family has told me all my life that my nose was big and they've tortured me about it. Im only 14 and at the age of 12 my mother asked if i wanted cosmetic surgery and she asked so that she could start saving up so that on my 16th b-day i could have it
I've said no countless times...but i cant help but wonder what if the teasing and torture never stops
will i be pushed to it?

I suppose i was so young i didnt really realize how many years down the road i have to grow and as far as im concerned, im in good shape now, at least in my opinion. And my opinion is all that matters to me <3 Youre a huge inspiration, and im glad i took the time to watch this and you to make it. Thank you.

Coming from someone who has dreamed of getting cosmetic surgery since the age of 9, I thank you very much for spreading the side of cosmetic surgery that others do not inform you of. I felt that getting a nose job and/or lipo was my only shot of being happy. I no longer feel this way, seeing that I researched countless horror stories. I saw so many regretful faces. I really hope these videos get through to someone. "Pretty" surgery isn't always that pretty itself. Thank you, Maxine.

I'm 17 and I have "considered" getting breast implants or something of that nature because my breasts aren't shaped like normal women's breasts. I know I could still grow into them and that's one of the reasons I decided I wouldn't do it. Plus I've just learned to deal with it. I wouldn't say learned to "love" my breasts, that's a bit of a stretch but, I can tolerate them now without looking in the mirror and having a negative thought every time. It gets better with time, I've noticed.

I ve never been in any position money wise to actually get a breast enhancement and your video's made me think that perhaps thats a good thing. Thankyouverymuch x

I had implants 10 years ago...it went hideously wrong. My right breast was so badly deformed, the implant was being pulled up into my collarbone. I had "corrections" done 3 months after the initial surgery, which were ok for awhile, but every couple of months, the right breast would again pull up and go rock hard. Now 10 years down the road, some days i can barely lift my arms above my head, or pick up my daughter. I'm sure I will have to give in and either have them corrected again or removed.

Im glad i saw this, i used to have small petite boobs that i loved then i put on about 100 lbs last year and they've dropped significantly.

I had no idea you had the surgery for a long time, i wish you hadn't bc it hurts my heart to see you this frustrated and stressed. My prayers will be with you on that day as well as everyone else that loves you, no worries. <3

Yes, I did. Since I was...14? I have a huge crooked nose. And I always feel compared to my friends, who ALL have beautiful straight noses. I always felt like the ugly evil witch with a wart on her nose between them. and everyone was loving them, but nobody me, and they were laughing and pointing at me, for being so ugly.
I still think about getting my nose done. But not now. Maybe in the future.
I hope your surgery goes fine, I hope you'll be perfectly fine! ♥

I don't think I've ever felt *good* about my body or liked what I've seen in the mirror, especially now, but I have two beautiful children to show for the stretch marks and a husband who tells me I'm beautiful regardless. I would love to get physically fit and then if I could afford it, have some procedures done to make me more confident. Again, thank you for this video--so many people take cosmetic surgery far too lightly.

You're beautiful Maxine, thank you so much for talking to us about your experience. When I turned 14 my breasts grew to 48 DD, for a tiny girl it was very very painful not to mention the way my classmates harshly teased me and would try to grope me while I was walking to class. I was very athletic during that time and my breast made it even more painful to play sports. I considered having a breast reduction surgery.

I used to consider it when I was much younger. I was a called a boy all the time because of how flat chested I was when I was in middle school. So I felt like I was always going to be flat chested and no guy would ever like me. But it turns out I was a late bloomer. So I don't even consider breast implants anymore. I also wanted a nose job, but now I have no issues with my nose.

Yes! of course I have considered it.
I think its perfectly healthy to want to change something about yourself, period.
It could be anything from a boob job to something you hate about your personality.
It's defining yourself, however you want to put it.
People have the need to change what they don't like about themselves.
Clothes, Hair Dye, Make-up, Surgery, Weight. It's all related.
It's Personal Definition, just be respectful to people who chose to be a certain way.

Every now and then, I think to myself that surgery would be a good idea for me. I don't know if I'd ever actually go through with it, but it has crossed my mind, for the exact reasons you mentioned. People saying things, people hurting my feelings, even when they probably don't mean to. Looking in the mirror, not being happy with what I see. Honestly, I think most people feel this way, but not all of them actually do something about it.
You are probably one of my favorite people here.

I thought about breast implants because I'm flat chested but quite chubby. So having my belly poke out more than my breasts just makes me feel fatter. My friend has G Cup breast where I have A cups, we often joke that she stole my share lol. But seeing someone with naturally large breasts, and seeing all the stretch marks, I don't think about surgery anymore

I am 14 years old, and "of chourse" i never had a cosmetic operation. But i would like to do so much on my body: bigger breast, correct my nose, bigger lips...

But it can hit me when i don´t think it.

I have considered having surgery when I'm older. I'm only 14 and I think you're absolutely beautiful and seem like a genuinely nice person. I get bullied for the way I look. And to add to that I've always wanted bigger boobs. But on a positive note, this video made me think of what risk I would put myself under if I actually had surgery when I'm older. All I have to say is thanks. You've put a different outlook in my head and I'm not sure if I would even put my self a that risk! Thanks again!:-)

I hope your surgery goes very well and solves the problems you are having.
I'm 20, and have considered cosmetic surgery but in the last 2 years I would say, I have changed my mind completely. For me I wanted a breast enlargement and liposuction, but after taking time to think about things I realised that life really is too short to be worrying about things like that. And the risks and cons far outweigh the positives of having surgery, for myself. Its just not worth it.

I've never considered cosmetic surgery in the way you mean... the only thing I've ever considered is having gastric bypass/lap band/etc in order to lose weight. I've never taken the plunge because it feels like a cop out, even though I know it's not "easy
