If money were no object, which feature of your appearance would you change, and why?
I'm asking this question because I have a good friend who is half-Greek and he once mentioned that his Greek mother absolutely hated her own nose. He said she would somehow manage to blame every problem in her life on that large, high nose of hers. She was absolutely fixated on it. But she never had a nose job because the expense was prohibitive.
I asked my friend: If she'd been able to afford the surgery, would she have been happy after the nose-job? He laughed and said, "Oh no, she'd have found something else to complain about!"
Of course I'd have more done! The reason I say more is that I was fortunate to have radical abdominoplasty following the loss of 125 pounds about 7 years ago. Having that surgery made more of an impact on me that the amount of weight I lost. For the first time in my life, I felt like a normal person. What feature would I change now? Well, my boobs, of course - we all know that those are the first to go when we lose weight, and I'd love to have full perky breasts!
