Benefits of Plastic Surgery

This is the perfect counter-argument article that addresses the issues I have already discussed in this blog, but presents them in a completely different light. This article encourages people to have cosmetic procedures performed to sculpt the body, and make it appear more natural. There are also emotional benefits to having surgery done as well; people will now feel more comfortable with their bodies and have greater self esteem. Apparently it makes them more outgoing and improves their quality of life forever... okay, but why can't it be done a more natural way? Anybody ever hear of diet and exercise? Diet and exercise should be a part of someones daily life anyways, so that they remain healthy. It will be much more beneficial in the long run than just giving into the quick fix of plastic surgery. 

The article also addresses skin damage due to aging and sun exposure. There is an obvious answer to this as well...sun screen! Also, what is so bad about aging gracefully? Why would you want to get all of that work done in your old age, have to pay for it and suffer through a painful recovery? It just doesn't make sense to me.

"The first thing that many people notice after plastic surgery is that their bodies seem more proportional or balanced. Often a nose may appear too large for a particular person's face, or a bust that is too large or too small can blur all an individuals other features making them seem disproportionate."

You are born with certain features because of genetics: genes from your parents get passed on to you. What you got is because of a combination of your parents, so in a way is is not a slap in the face to them for passing on their traits to you, if you go and have them changed because you don't like them? I'm sorry but I got stuck with a weird nose, but I like it because it is part of who I am, and who my parents are.
