*Just for background information, and for those who don't know, reconstructive procedures are performed to correct functional impairments that are caused by accidents such as burns, fractures, cancers, or birth defects. Cosmetic surgery is strictly aesthetic, and is not for any of the above reasons.*
Going to high school in Scottsdale Arizona, I was surrounded by people who were enamored of their looks. I knew people (specifically and stereotypically girls) my freshman year who were getting nose jobs, and talking about receiving breast implants as a Christmas or birthday gift prom their parents. A very close friend of mine got a nose job as a graduation present because she was unhappy with the way it was shaped. Is this enough to justify permanently changing your body?
There are so many factors that influence both younger and older generations to look badly upon their bodies and want to change them. Television shows such as Nip Tuck and Dr. 90210 are constantly making people self-analyze, and very rarely in a good way. What are the leading stories in most magazines about? Weight loss, and how to get a "quick fix" to make yourself look better.
There is always the chance of having a "botched surgery", should men and women risk the only body they have to look more physically attractive? In this blog, I will address these concerns as more as I further analyze the world of plastic surgery!
