In the past, she considered it and talked about why she contemplated getting it. “I have considered plastic surgery before because I haven’t always felt comfortable in my skin, but lately I have felt a lot better about myself,” she explained. “So it is something I don’t consider as much anymore.” Knowing your worth, having self-esteem is half the battle and both go a long way toward getting a better and a better you.
