Have you ever thought about having cosmetic surgery? It is a very personal choice. Over 15 years ago, at age 16, I had cosmetic surgery on my face--a nose reduction and chin implant.

I always wanted to be open about my surgery, but I felt as if I had to hide it, especially from church people. As the stigma against cosmetic surgery changes, more and more people are having procedures--1.7 million cosmetic surgeries in the U.S. in 2015 alone--but a lot of people are still keeping quiet about it.

I believe it is time for safe and authentic conversations about cosmetic surgery....
