Haha, in the advertising world I would think it's actually really good placement!


Haha - yeah, I said later the marketing guys were probably rubbing their hands in glee at all this talk about the ad. What I meant was that I don't think they've really got the best target market by advertising on here - I wonder if they did much of a demographic check as (anecdotally) not many people here seem to have plastic surgery as an option financially. Talk is all well and good but I don't know how much business they'll actually get out of it.

And the whole 'get your confidence back from plastic surgery' angle doesn't really sit right, as Emz has said.

Personally the ad doesn't bother me and I know many others disagree with this but if I could afford stomach surgery to flatten out my stomach and get rid the "apron" I would in a heartbeat and yes it would make me feel more confident again.

No amount of exercise will get back my abs the way the were so heck yeah I'd consider the surgery!

Does anyone else think it says "plastical surgical masters" instead of "plastic surgical masters"? Or is it just me? It's been really bugging me.

It's not really any different to the Huggies ad IMHO - that could be offensive if you are an MCN user, can't afford to use Huggies or are loyal to another brand?

If you lose lots of weight through exercise and diet you do feel more confident in yourself.

But I can see how women already feeling low about themselves and the changes in their body could see this as just another message being driven home that they're not that perfect woman.

My gut feeling was ewww, the ad itself doesnt bother me... but for some reason I just dont want it flashing in my face....

Cosmetic Surgery has its place in the world, the thing thats bugging me is why I dont believe it is here...

I too was surprised to see the ad...I was like "what is this ad for??" But it didnt bother me at all....I dont care! I know many ppl out there get PS done and yay for them.

I had a overhang from DD and can see its gonna only get worse with this one...I lost loads of weight but coulnt get rid of the overhang. I always joke to DH that I will win lotto and get PS done to get rid of it. Having said that DH has no complains and DD always says "you beautiful Mama"...that gives me more confidence than any PS can give me!!

You take each ad as you want to...I hate some ads on TV but hey there are just ads...ignore them if they dont apply to you. Thats JMHO.

This is something i always wondered , about a form of advertising ....the cigarette packs that have the "you are not the only one smoking this cigarette " and the pic of the preggy lady on the front..if men get that pack , do they ...look at their tummys and feel guilty ?

i dont like the ads...
my worry is are they a reputable plastic surgeon? cause if they are why are they advertising here?
and those pics look very photo shopped to me and i hate using false images in advertising...

ahhh showed hubby and he said they may be photoshopped but they have definitely used different lighting to make the after shots look better. over exposed he said.... whereas they havent done the same with the before shot...

They do have different lighting and quality with the before and after shots but they do that on all forms of beauty advertising, especially on tv.

I would love to have my nose done. Can we change the pics to show noses

I actually didn't even look at the ads until I saw this thread.

I'd probably have surgery to stop my boobs sagging so much after I've had all my kids if I could afford it

to be honest, i don't mind the adverts. if i had the money, i'd definately get some surgery!!!    i've been working hard out at the gym for 4mths now and am just starting to see some progress. but my lower saggy belly will always be there because it always has........
