Cosmetic Surgery
All types of cosmetic surgeries are on the rise. Young people and old people around the world are having all types of cosmetic procedure done at some point in their lives. The media portrays beauty in a certain way, which causes people to feel pressured to look a certain way. Why else would a person decide to go under the knife? Even people with medical conditions or some type of disfiguration want to be accepted in society and be normal without being judged because of their physical appearances. Although some people argue cosmetic surgery has many risks, including pain, it can also benefit how people feel about themselves, such as confidence, and it can change how they interact with people. In addition, people should be able to change their appearance if they want to.
Cosmetic surgery can improve a person’s physical appearance. There are many reasons why a person might want to get plastic surgery. It always begins with a personal insecurity. Some people have bigger nose’s, ear’s, or lip’s than other’s and for that reason they may decide to reconstruct whatever body part they don’t like with cosmetic surgery. As a doctor shares his opinion by stating that: “Being called Dumbo because his ears stick out or Pinocchio if her nose is too big can crush anybody’s self esteem” (Winkler 23). I don’t think anyone would like to be laughed at because of how they were born. Older people who want to look younger can simply get Botox injections to reduce the wrinkles in their face, making them look more rejuvenated and young. Botox has become very popular amongst the older crowd’s. Jane Friedman mentions on her research Cosmetic surgery how “In just a few years, Botox, made from purified toxins has become the 21st-centurys fountain of youth”. In other words people who want to look younger simply turn to Botox for a younger look. In addition, many people who are born with defects decide to get plastic surgery.
