Plastic Surgery Etiquette
« on: December 09, 2007, 07:31:00 am »
 Everyone.

Im writing to find out what the etiquette is for saying something to someone who just had plastic surgery.  A woman at work just returned form her surgery and all of us dont know if we should say something or do as we have been doing, which is ignoring it.  Its seems rude either way.  Saying it looks nice seems weird and acting as if it never happened is also weird.  Any advice?  I feel like we should be acknowledging it, but can\'t think of a tactful way to do so.  

tx for your input.

d your co-worker told everyone about her surgery before she had it done?  If she had told you guys that she would be out having something done, I\'d say some only positive feed back would be appropriate.  If you all haven\'t acknowledged it by now, her feelings are probably hurt.  But if you all found out thru the grapevine that she was having plastic surgery, I\'d say \"mums the word\"...don\'t mention it.  You can tell her however, that she\'s looking great...everyone loves to hear that.  Hope this helps.

If you know your friend very well, I mean if you know her a non-sensitive person, then you can give her tactful appreciation about it. If the result of the plastic surgery is not good, then you can fish out idea or comments for her but not to the point the she will feel degraded. Anyway, it is her choice so you just have to accept it.

The plastic surgery gift certificate is a no-no, just like gym memberships and light-cooking cookbooks. Nobody wants to be told — however well-intentioned — that they need a little nip/tuck.
