Women and Plastic Surgery

People in general are afraid of aging and the physical characteristics that it brings with it, while women are now dreading age fifty instead of forty there are a few reasons for this adjustment. One of the most rapid growing fads to solve this problem in the United States is Plastic surgery; this fad is primarily dominated by women seeking perfection. There are a variety of reasons why women are seeking out surgery, whether it is hoping for better sex lives, or just improving their life in general. While past issues have been directly related to weight, that is no longer the issue. Women have figured that they need every little detail on their body perfected so they can get Catherine Zeta-Jones’ face, or Jennifer Lopez’s butt. However what the clients don’t understand is that we are all born with a frame and if we lose too much weight or try to alter it in anyway, we are going against this natural look designed specifically for us. As a consequence certain surgeries or dieting can make people look abnormal even if they think they are getting that little perfection. Gill Todd a nurse specialist said “The message women get is that we need all our bones showing, and we need to be thin, so only then can we be happy and successful.” I feel terrible when I hear this because it is unfortunately very true with our society, and many people have to go through these surgeries only to find out that their lives aren’t any better than before. I think plastic surgery is good to a certain extent, if you have something that is preventing you from living a normal life and you would be better off getting plastic surgery then I am all for it, however if you are just doing it simply to get a better cup size or a smaller nose then I feel like you are going against what God gave you. I do believe that this will become a very big issue with women in the future because celebrities are getting operations done all the time, but like anything we do surgery has consequences, I just hope we are able to get this problem under control before women have to face them.

  1. It is terrible that society has set up such high standards for men and women to live up to that they feel plastic surgery is the only way out. Aging is a natural thing, and I wish people would realize that and stop trying to control it. Plastic surgery being available just makes things worse, because it gives people a "simple" and easy out. By having plastic surgery they are only falling into the traps of stereotype and continuing to make it an even bigger problem. I only foresee plastic surgery becoming more popular over the next decade, because society has become so messed up that all anyone thinks about it their appearance and bettering themselves.
