Plastic Surgery Funny Quotes
Everybody has the right to look beautiful, be it naturally or through any other artificial procedure. Well, there is nothing wrong with converting one’s Pinocchio-shaped nose into a knife-like pointed and sharp structure. Plastic surgery, in a way, allows decorating oneself that they don’t get during their birth. Now people don’t need to compromise or obey the decision of the almighty by accepting the look offered to them naturally. And why should one? Isn’t it the “My life, my choice” generation, where one is free to decide how they want to look like? Hence, break the barriers; get the Botox done, plum up the lips, age gracefully. One can become the Picasso of oneself, turn the canvas upside down, and fill it with own colors. Well, although let the plastic surgeon be the only painter here, otherwise things can genuinely turn “upside-down.” Below are some quotes to entertain you with some fun facts about plastic surgery:
