Is Plastic Surgery bad?

While our body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit and we know God creates us, we also know He has plans for us how he made us, but also know we are in a sin stained world where there are deformities and disabilities. God does have a plan for all of that in our lives, through to our family's lives, with our friends and those we meet (if we are one of the ones dealing with that issue).

We also know that some people cannot get past looks. So if there is a big deformity or something that would give you some relief from judgmental people who only look at the outside then it might be okay. There is Christian liberty and medical assistance today, so it might allow you to be a bit more bold to share the gospel with people and feel like you both will be a bit more comfortable/open if you do a little bit.

Soak the idea in prayer, get counsel from your parents, closes godly friends and a bit of counsel from your Pastor AND biblical counseling before you proceed. 

The biggest concerns are

*Why do you want to do it

*Can counseling on spiritual matters make the issue no longer matter

*Having a spiritual and mental identity crisis after the surgery; where you become obsessed with endless surgery to look beautiful or end up like a plastic ken doll. 


Just be careful if you do it, because things can go really wrong in plastic surgery. Be prayerfully cautious if you proceed.

Footnote: 

Make sure you have a medical directive written out [legally] in advance, in case something goes wrong. And have your will made up. Put a beneficiary on your bank account, and put your property in a revocable trust - long before the day of the surgery in case it is needed. Some die during or after a proceedure so set your affairs in order, in case you exit Earth. 


It is possible that if you are contemplating this surgery that God has already worked in your life for the purpose of the issue you want to change. Jesus healed people of deformities for a purpose (albeit to glorify God and draw people to salvation)... so change is possible. You just need to make sure it is worth the risk. 

Just be prepared that you could wake up and be disabled for life because something went wrong.
