00:40 But when I can look at you.
00:42 >> And go wow, what happened to your lips?
00:44 >> [LAUGH].
00:45 >> I just feel aw, that's just so unnatural.
00:48 Having something like foreign in your body is just, scary.
00:51 >> Right, it's ironic right, like all this move towards natural foods, and
00:55 all of this.
00:55 [LAUGH] I was like, Botox you know.

01:05 pressured, by what you think men like or what men prefer?
01:10 >> No. >> You're like love me or leave me alone?
01:12 >> Yeah. Like me for me.
01:14 >> I think it's funny.
01:15 I feel like actually it's more other women's opinion, right?
01:19 Like yeah, it's all about-
01:20 >> We are the harshest on our own sex.
01:22 >> Definitely.
01:22 >> [LAUGH] >> By far.
01:24 >> Girls are just like, we're constantly checking out other girls.
01:27 >> Everyone wants to feel beautiful and we do all have our own insecurities and
01:30 we see all these people, where we're like, oh my God, they're just gorgeous.
01:33 Like, I wanna have like, something like that.
01:35 Since I've actually do those operations or I assist in them because I'm
01:39 a perioperative nurse, it feels very like, barbaric to me.
01:43 Like, just because I've seen them.
01:45 Like face lifts.
01:46 They literally detached your skin from your face and they pull it up, so it's not
01:50 just like, let's make a little incision and then let's pull it up from there.
01:53 It's like no, no, no, you have to separate the whole skin.
01:56 Like there have been cases that have been very dangerous but
02:00 it's just like you really do a number on your body even though it's,
02:03 they seem just you know, just on the outside or it's like, but internally too.
02:06 It's, it's rough.
02:07 [MUSIC]
02:13 >> Before having plastic surgery it's really important to take time out to
02:17 reflect on yourself and understand why you're doing this procedure.
02:22 Is it for yourself, or is it for someone else?
02:25 And also, is this the only way to achieve that goal?
02:28 After going through that, and really making sure this is the only way,
02:32 then go forward and start researching your options to have the surgery.
02:36 When looking for a plastic surgeon, you need to make sure they're board certified.
02:40 Also how many years of experience have they had?
02:43 How many times have they performed the procedure that you're going for?
02:47 Lastly, make sure you have a connection with your plastic surgeon.
02:51 Where you feel comfortable to ask all your questions.
02:54 There are risks when you have plastic surgery.
02:57 So you really need to take the time to understand what they are.
03:00 Talk to someone who's gone through the procedure.
03:03 Because the recovery period can be very different for different people.
03:06 But just to get a little understanding of how long it may take and
03:10 what really is involved.
03:12 And after you get all that information,
03:14 then you can make a more informed decision if this is right for you.
