Would you ever consider it? What for? I know, I know, no one will really answer this.. too much judgment, right!?!?
Well, I feel like I have to say this somewhere so here goes. I'm considering it. Seriously.
Now, I've never really considered myself a vain person, but nothing like a two-year old (or a news director) to point out your flaws.
So, I have been on the phone with two different doctors (I probably shouldn't say by who, but they were highly recommended) and am going to my first "consultation" tomorrow! Yikes. OK, so I'm not talking botox, an eye lift, nose job or you know what ... that lift many of us nursing moms would like to someday get.. oh gee.. I hope no guys read this.
Anyway, I have this thing, ok, it's a mole, on my forehead. It drives me CRAZY. I hate it! Every time it shows up in a picture I get disgusted. (I hope that didn't just entice you to go look for a picture of me) I asked my dermatologist to get rid of it, but he won't do it.. something about my job being too public... blah blah blah... and how he would feel awful if it left a scar... blah blah blah... so he recommended I go to a cosmetic surgeon. That was several months, maybe even a year ago. Enter chatty almost two year old who likes to hug me then look at my head and say " what's dat?" or "mole" followed by a poke. It's ok, you can laugh. I usually do.
We'll see how much this little annoying thing is going to cost before I make the jump.. but hopefully it will be affordable and I can enjoy future pictures of myself.. or a little hug from my little guy.
I really would be interested to know your thoughts on cosmetic surgery... and if you've considered it.
UPDATE:
I went this (Tuesday) morning and am going to do it! It's really not that expensive. I meant to ask the average cost for the surgery Erin suggested, but was a little weirded out by the whole thing, imagine sitting in a room with sample implants and strange butt lift pictures on the walls... so maybe when I go back. They have an opening Thursday. I have to talk to my boss but maybe by Thursday night it will be gone! The doctor was nice. He's a Channel 4 fan so hopefully that means he'll be even more of a perfectionist on my face.

I don't think there's anything wrong with you getting a mole removed for whatever reasons you want it removed! If you don't feel at peace with your decision though you might reconsider, but if you're just worried what others will think I say hogwash. For the record. I have no idea what mole you are talking about so I guess I've never noticed!
I am with Katie. I don't know what mole you are talking about but I say go for it if it is what you want to do. And as for any other cosmetic surgery I am all for the boob lift after I am finished having babies.
I love it that Erin just said "I'm all for the boob-lift...". That is actually what I was expecting this post to be about and was actually gonna be pretty excited and maybe a little envious. I have no idea what mole you are talking about, just for the record.
I've never noticed it. Now Cindy Crawford embraced her mole - maybe you should too?? But if it were me, a tinge more vain than I'd like to admit, I'd have it removed.
I've had one removed before because I'm vain like that. It did leave a scar that I hate so just make sure your surgeon will do better - which I'm sure he will. Mine was about 18 years ago in DE so I'm sure there is nothing to worry about. But I'm with Katie, if you want it gone, just do it! There is nothing wrong with that.
i have been considering getting my "im 18 and can do whatever i want" tattoo removed....i dont even like it anymore and am also starting to get lots of questions by a certin 2year old:) but have not looked into price or anything...
I just want the name of your doctor. I have a scar from a "mole" removal. It's an unsightly scar that Grady now pokes. Which makes me hate it even more.
