COSMETIC SURGERIES...

In today's society the picture of beauty is a rail thin super model with the body of a goddess posted on billboards all around the world. Children are brought up playing with Barbie dolls with the body measurements of would be 39, 18, 38. Because of these pictures and other figures of beauties projected all over, a person is convinced to believe that to be beautiful and happy, one must look like these images. To most, the easiest way to achieve this is my having cosmetic surgery performed.

Plastic/cosmetic surgery for "beautification" is a result of our materialistic and image reinforced society to what society chooses to be "beautiful" Even smiles are beginning to look as though they have come off of production lines. Teeth are bleached and perfectly even. cosmetic standards are rising to a level that exceeds good sense. As a result, it lowers our self-esteem, since we are trying to "become" what is accepted as beautiful.

We should be happy with just the way we are, not needing plastic surgery to feel "better "and accepted...

Sometimes Low-income people that are attracted to the visions of beauty on the magazines are caught in the lure of these "fake" surgeons. These doctors promise perfect results at half the price of experienced surgeons. Some of these doctors may even produce fake credentials, such as fake PhDs, for customers to view. Customers see these and without doing any research on the doctor, pay the money for the surgery to be performed. With the increase of untrained surgeons performing these procedures, the risk of death and many improper results also increases greatly.
People considering plastic surgery should be informed of all the risks. They should not be concerned with trying to live up to society's standards and by the price of the operations. They should most be concerned with the real price, their lives!.
