Extreme Makeover: What would YOU do?

Ok, this show was unbelievable! I realize our country loves pimping reality shows, but this is a bit much. I’ve included the photos below for those that missed the broadcast.

My question to OD is this: Assuming all financials were being taken care of, would you have anything enhanced? If so, what areas would you attack?

I am still uncomfy with the idea of going under the knife, but I am seriously contemplating a tummy tuck and breast lift when I get to goal weight. I carry most of my weight in my stomach…and after losing 160 lbs, the skin is a bit ridiculous (I can only imagine what it will look like after losing the additional 75 lbs). As for the breast lift, I am 25 years old and haven’t nursed anything (except a few hangovers), and the girls need serious help (the darkside of weight loss…LOL)

Kine had an upper and lower lip reduction, breast lift, liposuction of the abdomen, teeth whitened and straightened and Lasik eye surgery.

Tammy had a face lift, an upper and lower eye lift, rhinoplasty, laser resurfacing of the perioral region and teeth whitened and straightened.

I would have a breast reduction and probably liposuction. I don’t know though I’d have to study up on the negative aspects of liposuction. Plus there’s something inside me that keeps saying it’s important to lose the weight MYSELF. You know? Like I NEED to accomplish this on my own. I don’t know. ANyway it’s not like anyone would pay for it anyway but I did see that show LOL!

I lost 50lbs when I was 21 because I wanted a breast reduction. When I gained the weight back, it went right back to my chest. Id do it again in a heartbeat, and maybe a nose job.

Eyes and thighs!

it saddens me that looks are so important..but the realist in me understands that that’s the way it is. i understand why many women look to surgery, i really do. personally, i really think i’d only do it if i was somehow disfigured, or if my weight got so uncontrollable there was no other way. (exhausting every other method FIRST)…

i guess it’s a matter of doing what it takes to make you feel good about you. it’s no one elses business, and you can’t be faulted for it. but, it’s a shame that as a society we are pretty much told what we should look like in order to feel good about ourselves, you know? such a touchy subject…

BTW: when i say you..i mean that in a collective sense,…not YOU personally. 🙂

I would do the teeth whitened and straightened. I *might* do lyposuction if I was at goal weight and there was an area that seemed out of proportion. But I’m such a pain wimp. . .

Oh, and Lasik, but just b/c I’d like to see w/o glasses. I actually LIKE my glasses, but it would be nice to be able to buy cheaper sunglasses!

good question..i would have to say that first of all i am a big baby, so i don’t know if i could handle the pain. BUT i would probably have a breast lift, and a tummy tuck. maybe some lipo in my thighs. other than that, i really am happy with my facial features and the rest of my body. but i would only do that after losing 30 lbs!

ww diva, you might want to wait to consider tummy tucking. babies do NOTHING for your tummy region, if you’re ever planning on having kids.

I know it’s a horrible thing… but those girls look amazing now, and I’m sure they feel 100% better. Looks don’t cure everything, I know, but ask those girls if they’re happier, and I’m sure they’d say yes. If I had to do anything, it would be breast reduction and lift, and maybe a teeeeeeeny bit of collagen in the lips!

Oh, and definitely the whitening of the teeth too! Damn coffee addiction.

i’d get my teeth done, remove some nasty varicose veins, and probably some lipo … loves,

I saw the show and was impressed. The first girl had serious problems and he did wonders. The second girl looked haggard. It was more cosmetic that she had the work done. But fortunately she looks great too. I would not have my face done to look prettier. But with weight loss, the loose skin would need to be removed.That is more than a cosmetic reason in my book.

I may need to help my girls out after reaching goal weight, but we’ll see. 🙂 I would definitely like to whiten my teeth someday and maybe LASIK. all of this, of course, pending my lottery win. 😛

I would not. But I’ve little care fot my appearace. 😉

I dont know how these people can smile after all those painful procedures. I do think I would get a breast reduction and get some excess skin off once I got to goal weight.

I wouldn’t have anything done. I’m happy with me and if anybody else has an issue with me, they can close their eyes.
