Thank you for creating this episode. I am glad to hear that, a woman can get cosmetic surgery done, to satisfy herself. This is the very first time, that I have heard a discussion about women getting cosmetic surgery, for themselves. Also, I think there should be a healthy balance with getting cosmetic surgery. It is okay to get a cosmetic procedure done. Simultaneously, do not become obsessed.

Please don't flip this into "confidence." She was made how she was made - perfectly, unique, lovely... and without necessity, she decided to pay a ton of money to operate on herself so that she would recieve more attention. She's married - did her husband want this? Who else does she want to please if not him (and he to her, goes both ways)?

It just doesn't make sense to call it self confidence. A self confident person who feels great about themself doesn't enhance their body unnaturally. "Social signaling" is a nice way of saying "attention."

To all the woman thinking about unnecesary plastic surgery, you are fearfully and wonderfully made - an art project of God. Your beauty is external AND internal. Your uniqueness is a gift - be proud of yourself and your look and make the effort to get healthy (exercuse/diet) if you want to look better. You are a wonderful creation :).

The psychologist seems a little too much of a yes woman. People need the truth!.. filled with grace of course.

Jesus loves you.. so much so that he gave his LIFE for you.

Dr, you should be ashamed of yourself. What you are doing with this is no more than justifying and enabling.
