Cosmetic Surgery

Nowadays, cosmetic surgery has become more popular and normal for modern people. Some people say that it is a science to enhance the beauty of a person. The main aim of cosmetic surgery is to enhance the appearance of the individual by changing the parts of the body. On the other hand, some people disagree with it. They said that cosmetic surgery still consist risk which may cause serious diseases such as heart attack. We have no idea that if we really could rely on the surgeons, we could not estimate the risk. By doing cosmetic surgery, can we really change our appearance to whatever we want?

For guys, going gym has become the trend and for ladies cosmetic surgery has become a trend nowadays. Cosmetic surgery is an optional process that is performed on normal parts of the body with the only purpose of improving a person’s appearance or removing signs of aging. Appearance is very important in society; “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” is no more exists in the reality world. People judge by first sight impression. Based on news which I read from newspaper, a qualified hostess who is an Asian and she is having single eyelid and traditional Asian face, she couldn’t be promoted cause of her looking. When she is reporting news, she get complaint that her single eyelids shows that she is not concerning and not enthusiasm about the news. Then she went for cosmetic surgery and looks like an A.B.C (American Born Chinese), her nose becomes taller, eyes become bigger, and look more charming than before. She gets promotion after doing cosmetic surgery. This is cruel fact but in the reality, appearance does symbolize one’s personality and shows profession of job. While most people would agree that someone’s appearance is not as important as their character, the truth is that we live in a world where appearance is important. Although it isn’t fair, we as a society place a great deal of importance upon what someone looks like. In both your professional and private life being happy and confident in your appearance is important. Why should you live your life unhappy with the way you look?

For example, during car show, there must be a lot of perfect and body figure girls standing beside the super sport cars. There are always pretty sexy ladies in all kinds of events and activities as embellish.

We all can work out, diet and exercise in order to lose weight, but we can’t do anything ourselves to improve the size and shape of your eyes. If there is a part or parts of your body that you are unhappy with then plastic surgery can help you to overcome your concerns and get a body that you are happier with.

I agree that slightly plastic surgery does help boost up people’s confidence, but there are some examples that addicted to plastic surgery and ruin their entire life. Michael Jackson is one of the famous example, he bleached himself from Negro looking and become a White people and did more than 10 times nose surgery procedures in his life. At last his surgery failed and his normal and handsome looking face is never return.

Another of the most famous cases of failed plastic surgery is Hang Mioku, a 48 years old woman from South Korea, she was young and pretty at her young age.

She was obsessed to cosmetic surgery and at last she was left unrecognisable after several surgeries. She had her first plastic surgery procedure on her 28. Surgeons that she visited all rejected to undergo procedures for her anymore. They claimed that her obsession could be a sign of a psychological disorder. So she injected cooking into her face. It became so weird and large. Children of her neighbourhood call her “standing fan” cause of her large face and small body. It is a sad case.

Next example is Jocelyn Wildenstein who as known as “Cat Woman” and the “Lion Queen”. Jocelyn Wildenstein, a Swiss-born New York City socialite in her mid-60s or early 70s, is having a shocking catlike face. 

There is a sad love story behind Wildenstein’s multimillion-dollar plastic surgery habit. Wildenstein’s marriage to the late art collector and businessman Alec Wildenstein was unhappy. To keep the marriage in good condition and to keep her husband’s attention and love fixed on her and her only, Wildenstein took dramatically action.  Her husband was fond of large jungle cats which kept in his private reserve in Africa, Wildenstein did plastic surgery to look like a large jungle cat. After all, well… he still left her.

The availability of cosmetic surgery increases stress for women that they believe that they must be gorgeous and beautiful all the time. Women’s appearance is always judges more harshly than men’s. Researchers report that women’s magazines have ten and one-half times more ads and articles promoting weight loss than men’s magazine do, and over three-quarters of the covers of women’s magazines include at least one message about how to change a woman’s body figure and appearance, by diet, eating less, exercise or cosmetic surgery. These views about appearance are damaging because it leads to seriously unhealthy lifestyles that women think they need to look beautiful. There are so many teenagers who are still on growth stage have been on at least one diet, and many of normal weight girls believe they are overweight. Cosmetic surgery sends the message that stunning appearance and perfect body figure are important.

Rich and poor people will never be equal. Cosmetic surgery is costly as everybody knows. Only those that can afford for it manage to get it. The most popular surgeries include breast augmentation, eyelid surgery, liposuction and so on. None of them is cheap. So if it has the advantages that studies claim, the rich will look good and younger forever, while the poor will not get the chance.

I believe that cosmetic surgery is a personal opinion but in some cases it becomes a bad addiction. In my personal opinion, I don’t think that cosmetic surgery is a bad thing. It is normal that human being have some sense of insecurity and appearance is cause of insecurity of some people. I think that plastic surgery is a self-esteem booster, which is not over is not a problem. In many cases, cosmetic surgery helps in saving people lives. For example, a burn victim needs new skin on face so that they will not have disfigured face for their entire life after a fire. Or a woman who has breast cancer and has to remove her breasts in order to survive, wants to pursue breast augmentation to build up her confidence. I believe that cosmetic surgery does not bring harm as long as it can make someone happy in moderate way instead of extreme way. If someone addicts to cosmetic surgery it is a bad situation then. Cosmetic surgery should have limitations. If someone wants to do cosmetic surgery procedure every month, there is a problem occurs. They take surgery as a part of their lifestyle which is abnormal to do so. Surgeons have responsibility to evaluate the mental state of patient before they undergo surgery. It is not difficult to see that who are in the obsession. In the conclusion, I think that everything has a limitation; I chose to argue the advantages and disadvantages of cosmetic surgery are all depends on how we do and how we look at it. Pursuing cosmetic surgery to change the appearance does not solve the problem at route and does not change the mental state. Inner mind and thought is what we emphasized on. So be good and be nice to people, having positive thinking is what makes you look beautiful ultimately. Always smile to people, be friendly and helpful, you do not necessarily have a stunning face to get new friends and date with you love ones.
