Cosmetic Surgery And Plastic Surgery Speech

Nowadays, plastic surgery is one of the most controversial topics that we are dealing with, each day we are advertise with it and able to recognize someone that has done it. Is like a “Normal” thing now, from famous people, role models, to a person that you may know has practice plastic surgery. People are using it to manipulate the way they look, procedures like changing your nose, getting a bigger butt or breast, or reducing waist size are practiced every day in many countries. What I see on this is a way of how to fit in society, in what society believes that is “Beauty”. Plastic surgery has come to give self-confidence to people who felt that they were missing something in their physic, but we should be happy just the way we are, society shouldn’t put barriers or judge the way someone looks, and plastic surgery shouldn’t be the answer to make our self feel better or to fit in society. Many may argue that this has nothing to do with plastic surgery, that each person has the right to choose to look better, and plastic surgery is one of the options to achieve that goal. But we must think beyond that, what was plastic surgery really created for? In some way is been misused and abuse for a generation in which to look good has become the most important thing.

In today’s society the beauty is measured by the way how the woman looks from outside, how her face, whole body looks like, Many women are seeking for having a perfect body and face or doing some surgeries in order to look like the famous celebrities who are seen on the TV. People spent more than million dollars on surgeries to feel comfortable with themselves or look for some changes in the appearance or being a copy of another person,, The most well known surgery is called cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery has become popular all over the world; this surgery could be done on different parts of the body; face, neck, leg and breasts. Although some people agree with cosmetic surgery because of the perfect changes achieved on the body and the face and for removing the signs of aging as many old women need to look younger and beautiful, On the other hand there are many people are against cosmetic surgery and think that cosmetic surgery must be banned because of the dangerous risks the patient faced and considered as a waste of money.

Thesis: Plastic Surgery has been a problem in American society. People shouldn’t feel ashamed of their body, their looks, or be insecure about any body part because everyone is beautiful in their own way. Problems of plastic surgery include expenses, health issues, and medical malpractice.

Plastic surgery began as bodily reconstruction for wounded soldiers in World War I. The surgery developed in stages, starting with correcting traumatic injuries and deformed facial features. The more cosmetic focus began in the 1970’s, with creating “perfected” facial features and making aesthetically pleasing body parts. Cosmetic surgery boomed in the 1990’s, with 1.2 million procedures performed in the United States alone (plasticsurgery.org). The swiftness in which these procedures have infiltrated society has lead to a change in our view of the value of the body. The modern ease and accessibility of cosmetic surgery has intensified the need for external beauty and has influenced the loss of personal identity.

Feminism is secondary as the means to challenge the abnormal body which generates suffering. Cosmetic surgery was found to be important as a solution to problems of self-identity. Popular representation of surgical culture authorizes and expresses its normalization and is reflected by post-feminist ideologies.

Receiving the various procedures has divided and mystified individuals by money, class, and personal privilege, eradicating not only the huge inequalities between classes in society, but also the desperation that characterizes the lives of those who do. Howveer, since her book’s publication much has changed and plastic surgery procedures have sky-rocketed in popularity.

Sullivan is a nonfiction account of the political and social views of cosmetic surgery as it grows into a custom of society today. The unique point of view the author provides allows the reader to fully grasp the many components that have made the reputation of cosmetic surgery. This insight acquired from the abundance of sources cited in the bibliography of this book ensures that the information and data provided is credible and relevant to the topic at hand. This book can relate to virtually any topic of discussion pertaining to cosmetic surgery as a growing industry. The broad spectrum of topics, viewpoints, and references throughout this book will easily weave into the support of my claim that the growing industry of cosmetic surgery demands greater recognition in society. Specifically, points in the book that stood out to potentially support my claim include, the potential problems the future of plastic surgery holds, the varying consequences a changing ideal of beauty entails, and finally, the power of commercialism in today's society. This book, in my educated opinion, would be a great choice for anyone uneducated on aesthetic surgery or anyone thinking of getting or performing such

In recent years plastic surgery is something that has become a very popular trend, and also where many young people are even lining up for it. Plastic surgery is to reconstruct or repair parts of the body, especially by the transfer of tissue it can be used for treatment of injury or cosmetic reasons. It enhances one’s physical appearance, allowing him or her to achieve a look he or she desires. For example, a women’s buttocks can be enlarged or reduced, or a nose can be straightened or lifted. Many people find themselves changing their bodies and wondering if perfecting their appearance would make life a bit more perfect. Plastic surgery can enhance someone’s level of confidence and boost their self-esteem, but it is something that can have very serious consequences people need to be aware of.

Everyday people suffer from from small things in their appearance that they find to be imperfections, such as something like a mole or a cleft lip that can leave them feeling uncomfortable and with a bad perception of their image. Many people turn to cosmetic surgery in order to change the way they look and feel more confident with their new characteristics. Cosmetic surgery is something that can change the way people feel by empowering their image and boosting self-esteem because it allows them to correct what they deem to be physical deformities and abnormalities, therefore it should not be considered elective surgery by health insurance companies as it helps their mental health.

Marketing campaigns have been structured to encourage cosmetic surgeries in ways that attempt to generate demands. For example since 1983 in the USA, the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ASPRS) has attempted to expand its services of cosmetic surgery through a marketing campaign of press release that showed pre and post operative pictures as well as educational brochures (Gillespie 1997, p.76). In addition to that since costumers don't decide to undergo surgical procedure over night, providers need to keep a high profile by increasing advertisements and awareness through women magazines, local news papers and other types of communication (Gillespie 1997, p.76). Cosmetic surgery, which aims to improve individual’s body physique, encourages women to see imperfections as illness (Gillespie 1997, p.74). This form of ideals, that embraces only certain types of female bodies as normal and feminine in accordance to size, weight, shape and often color of the body, ignores natural diversity of women. The normalization of cosmetic surgery not only supports the capitalist system and enforces gender norms into society but also transforms normal body parts and the changes the natural process of aging into abnormal. For example nowadays it is very common to hear someone saying that an individual is ugly or fat and therefore needs to undergo plastic surgery; or questions why someone who is so wealthy would not pay for cosmetic surgery to fix certain parts of their body, which are considerate to be unattractive or abnormal according to the cultural norms. Consequently, the more people select to have cosmetic surgery procedures to create a beautiful face and body, the more ordinary looking individuals will become to be perceived and evaluated as ugly (Morgan 1991,

Cosmetic surgery is very well known from coast to coast, as well as reconstructive surgery. But it seems to be that cosmetic is heard of and talked about more than reconstructive. But Why? Reconstructive surgery is for when someone has an accident and something on their body needs to be fixed or repaired. It is not a choice, it is a requirement if they hope to look even similar to their original state. Cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, is a choice of your own, and a stupid choice if i do say so myself. You should think twice about having cosmetic surgery, as it can seem like a good idea at the time, but the results may not be as pleasing as you expected.

The definition of plastic surgery can be resumed as the process of rearing parts of the body. This process is typically recognized by the transfer of tissue, either in the treatment of injury or for cosmetic reasons. When idealizing plastic surgery, majority of the people think of it only as a change of personal appearance. For example, breast augmentation or liposuction. Plastic surgery aides people who have gotten burned, by replacing the burned skin with other tissue from another part of the body.

We live in a society where people worship beauty. As far as recorded history people have gone to extremes to seek beauty. From foot binding in China to wearing strangulating corsets in Victorian era. People from different race and culture have experimented in every way possible way to look beautiful prior to this popular age of plastic surgery. It’s very common to hear people complain about their appearance, whether it’s their crocked nose, thin lips or flat chest. Remarkably, plastic surgery has been the solution for people who complain. Most people tend to think of plastic surgery as only cosmetic surgery and not as reconstructive surgeries. Plastic surgeries seems to be an invention of modern technology; however its roots lie in the ancient history of India. An Indian surgeon contributed towards the establishment of plastic surgery, it was intended to correct physical deformities acquired during birth, accident, disease or war. These surgeries did not gain the popularity it has today until the First World War. It was during the late 60’s, when doctors started realizing the endless possibilities of plastic surgeries. With the help of this surgery a trained surgeon can replace an amputate body part, remove skin cancer, get rid of unattractive scars and visible birthmarks or rescaling a nose or enhance body parts. Today more and more people from different age groups opt for plastic surgeries to obtain dramatic physical changes. These surgeries were envisioned to restore

To sum up, plastic surgery is aimed to make humanity look better. Thousands of people have these operations performed each year. However,

Messages within the media indirectly contribute to the rising rate of plastic surgery. Desires to meet the idealisms of media representations are often so consuming that people demand plastic surgery despite all of its associated risks and controversies. To compensate for this up and coming surgical trend, technology has developed more reasonable and attainable options for the public. Millions of operations are now able to be performed on those wishing to fulfill specific gratifcations toward their own personal appearance and/or self-esteem. This is a serious problem in that people are unaware or just simply
