The decision to undergo cosmetic surgery is a big one, involving an evaluation of your body, a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon, and a culmination of many thoughts and desires you have about your body. You may even consider the opinions of friends or loved ones. However, if you decide on your own to undergo a cosmetic procedure, you may find mixed reactions when telling the people closest to you.

Opinions are special.

Not in the sense that yours is “better” or matters more than someone else’s, or vice versa – after all, everyone has opinions. And we all like to think our opinion is right. Maybe it is. Maybe it’s not that simple. Maybe it’s about liking or disliking a food, a movie, whatever. And it’s in that realm that opinions are special. Once it is stated that something is an “opinion,” the way others feel about said opinion doesn’t really matter. The opinion belongs to the person who has it. It’s theirs. The decision to get a cosmetic procedure is not unlike an opinion in that regard… it’s yours.
