Cosmetic Surgery

The following text deals with the plastic surgery. Whether plastic surgery always works is questionable. When people hear about plastic surgery, most of them tend to connect it with Hollywood. At the present time it is no longer surprising that people operate their body parts, even at the age of 18. But why not think about reconstructive surgery. There are thousands of cases of skin cancer, sears or deformity of body parts. The following paragraphs also report issues such as,

Did you know more than 16 billion dollars was spent on Cosmetic Surgery in 2016? (ASPS 2017) Throughout the many decades, cosmetic surgery had become widely known method to enhance an appearance. In recent years, this procedure has become prominent not only among adults but also among adolescents however, popularity does not mean it is safe and the best option. There are numerous negative effects of cosmetic surgery that people, especially adolescents should consider before undergoing such procedures. Some negative effects of cosmetic surgery are high expenses, high medical risks, promotion of unhealthy body image and adverse psychological conditions.

Can we really expect teenagers to make good decisions at this age? Adolescents have enough on their plate with grades, part-time jobs, and college applications. Bullying is one thing no one should go through, especially at this age, but there are ways to stop it. In Source A, one in two teenager who are as young as thirteen want plastic surgery to change their appearances, but I do not believe that plastic surgery is the best solution for bullying. If teens are allowed to receive plastic surgery, they will end up either obsessed or

Although improving appearance through cosmetic surgery seems optimistic, risks and possible complications are associated with cosmetic surgery. Patients’ susceptibleness to these complications vary but are certainly issues that should be taken into consideration. Many patients don’t take into consideration the risks of cosmetic surgery.

Cosmetic surgery is becoming the most popular category of surgery, for both men and women. According to Alexander Edmonds “Beauty is becoming a more visible part of medicine, and health risks may become less visible.” Since only one-third of surgeries

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.

Thesis: The cosmetic, issues, and beauty. We need to understand every possible outcome while considering plastic surgery

The ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) describes aesthetic plastic surgery as “a procedure used to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem”. Recently “over 10 million cosmetic surgical and nonsurgical procedures were performed by board certified doctors in the United States” (“Cosmetic Procedure Increase”). While both men and women use plastic surgery, it is more common in women. Out of the 10 million cosmetic surgeries, 90% of the surgeries are on women. In fact, “the most frequently performed surgical procedure was breast augmentation” (“Cosmetic Procedure Increase”), which is about 20% of the 1.7 million procedures done in 2012. This statistic is not surprising especially since women have more pressure than men to have a presentable outer appearance. Its hard not to want certain bodily features when society claims these features are what makes one attractive.

Usually, plastic surgery can be associated with individuals that tend to be self-conscious or have low self-esteem. Acquiring cosmetic surgeries can significantly boost a person’s confidence and self-image. Normally, beautifying procedures are seen to improve psychological damage. Plastic surgery can be beneficial for mental health. Although this may be true, plastic surgery has become an addiction. The perception of beauty should not be held at the hands of surgery.

If one is considering cosmetic surgery I suggest reconsidering. Research shows cosmetic surgery can be a risky and costly procedure. Society is pressuring people to look more attractive. Media shows actors to be flawless and the public feels that one should be compared to these actors. Cosmetic surgery is becoming more popular is today’s culture. People are turning to cosmetic surgery for many reasons, some of them are not healthy.

Whereas patients who have undergone a rhinoplasty, face lifts and any other facial procedure s found post- surgical psychological disturbance (Edgerton, Jacobson & Meyer 1960). Patients experienced a loss of identity and requested further surgical procedures in order to gain their former appearance. Studies have reported an increase in a patients experiencing reduced anxiety, and feel to be treated more positively by others. (Marcus 1984). A patients’ psychological outcome post cosmetic surgery depends upon their pre psychological health as well as the cosmetic surgery performed.

“Don’t like the way you look? Ready for a quick and easy change? We can help you with one simple cosmetic surgery.” We have all heard or seen advertisements like this on television or in magazines, but why is cosmetic surgery so appealing to people, especially women? Cosmetic surgery is used all over the world to enhance one’s features and make people “happy,” but is it worth it? Is it beauty or is it a beast having cosmetic surgery done? There are many options and things to consider when thinking about getting any kind of surgery. Body image is a huge aspect especially when there is a demand for beauty by society. The cost of cosmetic surgery and the dangers are also something to take into consideration, but there are many positives in getting this type of surgery.

Plastic surgery is not the best choice for anybody because you never know what your final outcome is which Allison A. stated in 2008. Doctors cannot guarantee you will come out successfully from the surgery room. She also said that it is like a game where you do not know if you win at the end of the play. People turn to cosmetic products for better appearances but when it’s not enough or not satisfying to them, they turn to plastic surgery. They never think about the consequences of what they want to look like or the dangers and risks that are involved. Veronica S. (2007) believes that cosmetic surgery is more harmful than it is beneficial. Unnecessary surgery seems to put women in danger for the sake of Hollywood beauty. We all handle healing differently. Some may heal well and some won’t. Hykra (2005) states that if you have pre-existing health conditions cosmetic surgery can be really dangerous. He also reports that people with heart condition, diabetes, or if you are a smoker, or have allergies you may experience complications that others may not.
