Essay on Plastic Surgery for Teenagers

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.

According to Image vision, there are many reasons why a person may want plastic surgery. This may be due to social acceptability, change of facial muscles, aging, removal of scars and moles, skin diseases, change gender, and facial trauma (Michele Nappia Stefano Ricciardia MassimoT istarell, 2016).

Plastic surgery may create jobs and money for professionals in the business. Someone may go in and pay for an expensive surgery, but that pays for the surgeon, receptionist, cleaners, and technicians. Although maintaining a body or image that seems perfect it is not why someone should undergo surgery. People should decide to have surgery because of personal psychological issues, accidental maintenance and hereditary or birth defects, not to abuse the opportunity and become someone who they are not.

As the world continues to evolve, plastic surgery is becoming increasingly more acceptable. Since I am a journalism and film and video major, I always try to connect things back to how the media play a role in the issue. I believe that the media has an effect on people in a numerous of ways. It is very persuasive, and it sends messages to people without being completely obvious all of the time. So why not the same with cosmetic surgery? A lot of teenagers are starting to see cosmetic surgery as an option to alter something they do not like. Times have changed and made it more culturally acceptable, and I think it is because of the media.

Plastic surgery has a great deal of negatives that can truly and ought be prohibited. One of the reasons why cosmetic operation should not remain illegal since it is a risky business to take part in, and which people are not aware of the risks that it can take. These risks might involve brain damage, heart attack, nerve damage, abnormal heart rhythm, airway obstruction, blood clots, malignant hyperthermia, and it may even cause death. You also might be unhappy with the results that the doctors give you after the procedure. Cosmetic procedure is a really difficult procedure to do and everyone makes mistakes, but the results stay permanent. The other side might say that you can get another surgery to repair the previous one, but what if the

Imagine your kid coming home crying everyday because they have been bullied, a survey has found that increasing numbers of bullied teenagers want to have cosmetic surgery. More than half of the teenagers who responded, felt they had been bullied about their appearance and that they should get cosmetic surgery. I think that teenagers shouldn't get cosmetic surgery, unless they have some type of face deformity .

Plastic Surgery, or Cosmetic Surgery, is surgery that is unnecessary from a medical perspective, but is carried out to improve appearance. Cosmetic surgery is initiated by an individual who wants to change the physical appearance of a feature. Although in many cases their physical appearance is normal, they may wish to change the size of their breasts or the shape of their nose. An individual may also use cosmetic surgery to change disfigured body parts and give them a smoother appearance.

Why do people alter their bodies? People change the way their appearance is, sometimes so much so that they look nothing like their true selves. Plastic surgery is reconstructing, repairing, or changing a part of the body. Most times in a way to enhance the looks of said person. There are many things that would motivate someone to get plastic or cosmetic surgery done. Some of the causes for why people get plastic surgery would be to reverse the signs of aging, a physical defect or deformity, a confidence or career boost, and to fit in or be liked.

One point seven million cosmetic surgeries procedures were performed in 2015. (According to American Society of Plastic Surgeons). Every year this number is growing; however, the question is should we, as a society, allow it? Plastic surgery should be allowed when the patient has a legitimate medical need or would like a minor cosmetic enhancement. When plastic surgery becomes unsafe, surgeons should be allowed to decline the patient and held accountable for their actions. Surgeons should be required to counsel patients on the risk of excessive plastic surgery and the complications. Cosmetic surgery should be allowed but not to the point where you change into Barbie or a TV character. Reasoning for this is, it’s unsafe and not needed. If someone loves Barbie they can buy a doll, they do not need to put their life and bank account at risk just because they aspire to be something that surgeries can get them to. Getting a nose job is safe and you know everything about the surgery but going and getting 3 botox’s in one month is excessive and unneeded.

This report explained how damaged the plastic surgery caused to the patients, also it shows the purpose of doing it. For some women they do it for just change their lives, but for the other it’s just to get attention. That’s right the demand for this

Moreover, those kinds of plastic surgery are not even originally purposed: “Plastic surgery is a medical procedure with the purpose of alteration or restoring the form of the body. Though cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is the most well known kind of plastic surgery, plastic surgery itself is not necessarily considered cosmetic” (Gillies 63). Plastic surgery was first used to remodel broken bones and distorted features of the face such as connection of the lips to the nose. People have distorted the initial purpose of the plastic surgery, with the help of plastic surgeons. Moreover, once the surgery is effectuated, there is no way to turn back. As a consequence, people might consider having another surgery to fix the flaws and result in being addicted to it. Because once we get into the habit of spotting our appearance negative points, you might be likely unsatisfied with the results and think about plastic surgery again.

When speaking of past there was a great sense of taboo when even considering plastic surgery for adults alone, let alone for young adults. Now though, when speaking of plastic surgery in the modern day and age it is part of the common culture for adults as well as young adults due to the rise in influence through celebrities, media, and pop culture. Susan Gilbert speaks of this growing change of opinion stating "In the United States, 205,119 teenagers aged eighteen and younger had cosmetic interventions in 2007, up from 145,094 in 2000, according to the American Society or Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.” which drastically displays the change and growth in the use of plastic surgery for young adults (Gilbert). While it may be the popularized solution to solve one’s problem by going “under the knife” there are many important factors to consider when making this life altering decision. Especially when it comes to the topic of teenage plastic surgery. While it is a personal choice young adults should not be allowed to make and go through with the choice of plastic surgery without being fully aware of the situation, having a necessity for medical purposes, as well as obtaining full parental aid and consent.

To begin with, plastic surgery can create a horrible influence, especially towards the younger audience. Sunil Choudhary from “Am I Beautiful the Way I Am?” claims that youngsters today are more ambitious, aware, and want to enjoy life. However, in order to do that, it means to change one’s appearance and individuality. The cause of wanting to alter a person’s appearance is because more than half the teens are influenced by the media’s portrayal of ideal beauty. The portrayal of ideal beauty can increase the standards of not only adults, but also teens and children. It can result in pressure on the younger audience to look in a specific way. Because of this problem, the demands for surgery is not new. Plastic surgery can be highly influenced

Do you ever hear the harsh comments girls say to each other about their bodies? This is what’s led to teenagers having cosmetic surgery. At an adolescent age, girls from 15 to 19, are already asking their parents for cosmetic surgery. It should be banned because young girls that think in having plastic surgery at a young age is being brainwashed into thinking that the way they look isn’t good enough. As a teenager your body isn’t fully developed and so deciding in getting a breast implant is complete craziness. Social media should have more control on how they portray what type of body is pretty enough and which are ugly and unattractive because teenagers shouldn’t have cosmetic surgery available to them.
