Alezia Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 What is the appropriate manner to react when you know that your friend's gf has a new reconstructed facial body part? (thereforee very visible) Do you act like it's a hair cut and congratulate the person? Do you just ignore it? Any suggestions? Link to comment
waveseer Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I like your new ________, it looks great! Link to comment
jengh Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I would probably just say, "Wow, you look fantastic!!"..hoping they actually DO look fantastic Link to comment
Alezia Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 That might be the best way to go... not specifically mention the "fake body part" (I can't imagine having facial plastic surgery for myself, I don't care about neck down.) but make her feel good about it. Link to comment
Smoothie58 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I would just say..."wow you look great!!" and not make any specific mention of the body part. Link to comment
jengh Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Yeah, I wouldn't specifically mention the particular body part, "Wow, look at that NOSE! Lookin' great!" Link to comment
ghost69 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 surprised they didn't tell you beforehand they were getting something done. Link to comment
Alezia Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 She told my boyfriend she was getting something done but I wasn't there. I don't know why I feel I need to dodge the bullet on what it is? So yes I do know she is, but now I don't know how to react after her procedure!!! It's not yet done, I just want to avoid any odd moment. I wasn't sure if it fell into a category like make-up. You know people wear it, but they don't like it being pointed out even though they are aware you know it's there. Unless you're obviously going for a colorful fun look, some people prefer not to be told anything about it. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 'you look different for some reason...*pause*...but in a good way though.' maybe she will just tell you. Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I wouldn't really worry about any compliments to give. Especially until after the surgery, if she looks great tell her otherwise don't say anything unless she asks. Link to comment
thejigsup Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 She probably paid a lot of money for this procedure. Make sure you tell her she looks great. Link to comment
Alezia Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Yeah, she might. Though she might assume I know too since we live together. She's getting flown out of the country for the procedure (and not because it's done on the cheap, trust me!) I guess what disturbs me most is that it was an xmas present from her mom (rich / renowned) =| maybe I shouldn't say so much Link to comment
Alezia Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I'm most likely sure she will look great if they do the procedure correctly. I'm so afraid it could go wrong, but it's obviously not my face! I'm thinking Tara Reid horror on the face. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 you live together and she hasn't even told you? Link to comment
Alezia Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 no no.. it's the boyfriend that lives with me, which was told by her. she lives in another city so I don't get to see her often. I think she would assume I know because of him. Link to comment
Mythical_Suicide Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 you live together and she hasn't even told you? Yea really. If I was having something like this done, the person I lived with would know about it because i'd either be so excited or so nervous about it that it'd be all I talked about. Link to comment
Alezia Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I didn't phrase my sentence properly oops =) I meant she would assume that I would know since she told my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I live together. Shes lives in another big town of the same country. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 so what is the deal? you want to bring it up with her? or are you scared you are going to stare? Link to comment
Alezia Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I'm scared that I'll stare haha (hey, at least I'm honest). I'm not sure how to react when I first see her, if I should just congratulate her on her new nose like if it was a new hair cut. And it seems most people would not want their plastic surgery to be pointed out, though told they looked good by the sound of this thread. Ok fine.. I let it slip, it's a nose lol. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 lol. why not tell her she looks a bit different but she looks better than last time you saw her. maybe she'll whisper in your ear: -i have a nose job your reply: -word? Link to comment
Alezia Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 LOL!! True, maybe playing a bit dumb is the way to go. That way I can gauge about how comfortable she is after the procedure. Some celebrities admit to their plastic surgery though some hide the fact. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 yep. tara reid denied it forever. lol Link to comment
laisla Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 i wouldn't say "wow, nice nose!" i'd just say "you look very pretty" Link to comment
lady00 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hmm...I'd say nothing. That's just me though. I'd feel weird complimenting someone on a newly surgically sculpted body part. New haircut, sure. New jeans, sure. New nose, no. I don't even know why. It would just make me feel weird. Link to comment
