Psychographic Interview

Furthermore, cosmetic surgery promotes an unhealthy body image. Often the media omits the negative aspects of cosmetic surgery and only shows the best results and reviews. Consequently, deceiving the viewers into believing that cosmetic surgery has no unsatisfactory results. Plastic surgeon Leo denotes, “Many times, patients come to me quoting glowing reviews they have read on blogs, not realizing that these posts may be sponsored and may not highlight all the risks involved in a medical surgery.” (Straits Times). Teens especially if they have low self-esteem can easily be influenced by these deceptive advertisements. These false advertisements create false perceptions, especially if

The author performed two separate interviews face-to-face, selecting two individuals with different backgrounds in order to obtain unique perspectives. The first interviewee, named Jennifer Hodge, works for Allen ISD as a special education teacher for a self-contained DEAR (Developing Early Academics Readiness) class for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. In addition, her experience includes teaching for 22 years, with seven of those years teaching students with disabilities in both self-contained classrooms along with resource and inclusion environments. The meeting to discuss psychoeducational testing occurred in Jennifer’s work place during her conference period over a 45 minute period on Friday, August 28, 2015. The second

The Beck Depression Inventory is a testing tool which is used to evaluate the continuation and severity of the symptoms of depression, as recorded in the DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 2000).

Back to the 80’s is a children’s wear line for the ages of 7-12. My collection incorporates trends from the off beat forecast. My inspiration is drawn from a personal interview with my cousin April Bisio. She is 11 years old and lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. She is an outgoing child full of sass and creativity. She is interested in music and dance. When not at school April spends most of her free time at dance. She describes her style as comfortable, but put together. She likes darker colors but does not shy away from prints. Dance may be a sport she performs, but outside of dance class she adds a dance attitude to all her clothing choices. When I asked April what her go to pieces were in her closet she mentioned many things. She loves

I often tried to assert authority over others to get my way. (According to my mom, I once bit a kid’s nose because he wouldn’t share his Legos.) As I overcame my childish behaviors, I discovered satisfaction not only in sharing but in helping others, finding great joy in orchestrating service projects. I kept a tight handle on my team at first, but soon noticed the more freedom each person had, the more creative space our ideas had to expand. Last year, among other projects, we successfully mentored twenty fifth-grade students and raised one thousand dollars towards cancer research.

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.

June is a female in her late twenties. When evaluated in my office her appearance seemed like she cared about what she looked like. June has worn dresses the last couple times with her hair down in what appeared to be brushed. During the interview with her and her brother, June behavior was steady without any outburst or anything such as that nature. Her brother reports that her behavior does get worse typically when something isn’t how it usually is like items place where she likes or is out of regularly consumed food. The other times behavior is a concern to her brother is when she goes out of the house by herself. In one example, he said she was directing traffic with a ping pong paddle while wearing snorkeling mask.

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.

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

American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) shows that “Americans spent more than 13.5 billion dollars on combined (surgical and nonsurgical) aesthetic procedures in a single calendar year.” Throughout many centuries cosmetic surgery has been performed to enhance one’s body image and looks. In recent years, this practice has been popular not only among adults but also among adolescents. People are spending thousands to get cosmetic surgery. They consider cosmetic surgeries to fit in the norm, to this so called “body image”. They view these practices as the fastest route to accomplish the “ideal body”. Many have fallen victim to cosmetic surgery without fully discerning the risks and complications preceding cosmetic surgery. This ever-increasing phenomenon of cosmetic surgery, especially among teens, should not be widely acceptable because it has many negative impacts such as high medical risks, promotion of unhealthy body image, adverse psychological conditions and high expenses.

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

In line with global trends, there is a surge in the demand for cosmetic surgery in most developing countries including Nigeria. Despite this, there is a paucity of research on cosmetic surgery in most low resource settings. Such research is essential because there may be cross-cultural differences in attitudes or reasons for considering cosmetic surgery. [8] Additionally, in an era characterized by significant health care and social reform, public perception or misconception, may have a substantial impact on this specialty.[13] Understanding these issues is also important for the plastic surgeons, as there may be pertinent psychosocial outcomes in terms of the delivery of quality cosmetic surgery care and patient satisfaction (self-esteem and social functioning).[8] [14] [15] This article explores the perception of cosmetic surgery and its correlates among university students in Nigeria.
