Plastic Surgery Is All Over The Media

Multiple females aging from 18-28 , are constantly dealing with the pressure of perfection because they want to display that they are attractive. I believe social media plays an immense factor on this problem.Plastic, cosmetic, and reconstructive surgeries have an important psychological component because of the high value placed on appearance in Western society. Many people who are born with visible deformities or who have been disfigured by accidents later in life develop emotional problems related to social rejection. Other people who work in fields such as acting, modeling, the media, or politics, find that personal attractiveness is crucial to successful job performance.Social factors also play a large role in plastic surgery addiction. There are several reality television shows that document the process of plastic surgery, generally in a positive light, and whenever a new star gets plastic

There are varieties of reasons why some people support these surgeries, one of the most common reason is to change the appearance as it can make physical changes and have a good self-esteem as many people need to be accepted and liked by others so change in the appearance or having some changes because many people have some little defects in the face or in the body so the only way to change these defects is to do cosmetic surgery in order to look perfect. According to the article (The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Reports Americans Spent Largest Amount on Cosmetic Surgery Since The Great Recession of 2008) indicates that more than 10.3 million cosmetic surgeries are done by women 90.6% of the total. The top surgeries are the augmentation of the breast, nose surgery and eyelid

In the article “Plastic Surgery Junkies: Why Are Perfectly Pretty Women Getting Hooked” by Sally Davis, explained how perfect women are getting changes done to their bodies when it's not needed. She describes how people today are obsessed with their flaws and what people think about them just to fit in. She also said that the main reason people felt the need to change themselves was because of the use of technology and the idea of looking like a model and celebrity.

Diane Stresing discusses about the addiction in cosmetic surgery. She explains why people are addicted to cosmetic procedures. According to her article, the addiction is more psychological than physical. The reason leading to a cosmetic surgery addiction is the psychologic problem named Body Dysmorphic Disorder, which makes patients feel unsatisfied with the surgery’s result and leads them to temptation getting another surgery. According to the article, patients have BDD might spend much time for hiding their defects, then they have cosmetic surgery. However, patients with BDD feel unhappy and uncomfortable

It is estimated that 1-2% of our population is affected by this disorder (Body Dysmorphic Disorder). Robert Pattinson, Michael Jackson, and Marilyn Monroe are just a few of many celebs who demonstrated symptoms of this disorder. Wildenstein traded in her Swiss features for a more feline look in order to please her ex-husband. Instead of focusing on what could mold her into a better individual, she decided to undergo multiple surgeries only to achieve a divorce thereafter. Getting a nose job, a lip injection, or botox has now become a norm in our society; celebrities purchase these procedures as if they were fetching for new shoes at the mall. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), Americans spend $12 billion on cosmetic procedures annually. This disorder equally affects men and women, and its victims tend to stay unsatisfied with their looks even after the procedure is done. They nitpick each and every “flaw” they conceive and attempt to change it or hide it as best as they can. Society’s growing obsession with outward appearance should be viewed as a dangerous

Many people get plastic surgeries so they can be more self-confident. When someone talks about plastic surgery most others believe that means the person receiving the surgery is vain and self-centered, but that is not always the case. Some people don’t feel happy in the way they look and how their body appears, without taking any action

Some surgeons state, “In their practice, they are very careful to identify patients who are addicted to plastic surgery” stated Staurt A. Linder, MD (Linder.) These can be patients who have had serious lifestyle changes such as a death in the family, or even divorced recently. These patiently often want to completely change their appearance in order to transform their lives (Linder.) Individuals with plastic surgery addiction (or BDD) tend to have very low self-esteem and no confidence in their own self. Self-esteem has many different components- besides one’s appearance it can be linked to personal or work-related accomplishments, intellectual ability, or personality traits such as friendliness or honesty (Stresing.) Individuals with this addiction are unlikely to be satisfied with the results of plastic surgery, and some even tend to get violent and take their frustration out on their own plastic surgeon. These individuals also have an unusually high suicide attempt rate. Improvements to appearance naturally translate to increased self-confidence for most people, which means a greater willingness to try new things or open up in social situations, which leads to wanting more and more of that confidence which turns into an addiction. Some patients come in thinking that if they become more attractive than the average woman they will gain more professional and personal

Plastic surgery is not a new field of medicine. Traditionally, plastic surgery dealt with fixing abnormalities of the body, but recently people are enjoying the luxury of plastic surgery simply because they are not happy with their appearance. People make appointments with plastic surgeons for procedures such as rhinoplasty, liposuction, tummy tucks, face lifts, and most commonly breast augmentation. These people look forward to desired results from such procedures without considering the risks. Many risks accompany plastic surgery, but they are rarely discussed in the media. Death is even a possible conclusion of the surgery. Why would people subject themselves to such conditions as having

To some religious people plastic surgery is very immoral, unnatural and repugnant. Some Christians believe that Plastic surgery is “cheating”. “Cosmetic surgery permanently alters what God gave us” (Hemingway). All Def Digital is a YouTube channel that’s videos consist of comedy and topics. One of their topic videos asked “Do you mind Plastic Surgery?”. Though the video contains some vulgar language most of the people asked said that they did not really care if someone had plastic surgery or not. From watching the video one could also see how society’s “perception” and “ideal” views on beauty have an effect on the way that people view bodies with plastic surgery. Plastic surgery is also very pricy. Stats from the American Academy of Aesthetic

The media has had an increasingly destructive effect on young people who are becoming worryingly obsessed with their body image. The media is saturated in sexual imagery in which young people have to face every day. The sheer volume of sexual imagery in the media today has resulted in the vast majority of young people to become hooked on looking as near to perfection everyday by using the latest products and buying the latest fashions. This used to be enough but lately the next step to achieving perfection is cosmetic surgery. Everyone wants to look attractive, especially teenagers who are not only put under massive strain to succeed but to look beautiful and climb the ranks of the social ladder, and it seems that the only way to achieve

Plastic surgery has been a hot-button issue in recent years because of the debate of how far procedures can and should go. TV shows like Botched highlight how plastic surgeries can go wrong and make someone look fake, but that is a rarer scenario than media perceives it to be. Because of media’s prevalence in our lives, we see plastic surgery as fake and those who seek it faker. Not all the people who seek plastic surgery are doing it in vain. They are seeking to better themselves. The truth is media pushes a negative impact on the perception of plastic surgery and hides the benefits plastic surgery can have.

They believe the more surgeries they have, the more security and happiness they feel. Usually, after the first procedure, the patients ask for others unnecessary procedures because they see defects in their body which do not exist. Addicted patients are never satisfied with their look because they have low self-esteem and anxiety. Unfortunately, there is no law that protects people from receiving many surgeries. Moreover, most doctors do not care about that as long as they get paid.

In today’s day and age, plastic surgery is one of the most popular and requested procedures. Females are opting to have plastic surgery because they dislike their body image. Society has impacted many people by brain washing them to believe that a person’s body has to be perfect. In order for one to be considered beautiful, television and media influence people’s perceptions of beauty.

Plastic Surgery is a controversial topic nowadays. Some men and women believe that plastic surgery is a great chance to have finally the body, face, and even romantic life always dreamed about. In the U.S. the plastic surgery television shows have made these ideas more popular and common than ever. Some men and women have other reasons for want plastic surgery Such as people who want plastic surgery have disfigurements to the face or body because of birth defects or genetic problems. The rise in plastic surgery in U.S. is a bad sign for future. Plastic surgery is not always a good thing for everyone. Cosmetic surgery should be prohibited for teenagers and people having psychological problems.

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.
