Plastic Surgery Addiction

This source chronicles the lives, and downfalls of some well-known people that have become addicted to plastic surgery. Some of the images presented are very graphic, and just a little scary. Some of the people presented on this website literally look like human Barbie dolls. Surprisingly, there is even a man who is said to be "the living Ken doll", complimenting the human Barbie. Another woman on the site has changed and re-constructed her entire face so many times just to keep her husband. I'm sorry but if any person makes you feel so bad about yourself, that you have to go and literally get a new face then I'm not sure if they really love you. Finally, and possibly the most interesting is Orlan; she is a french woman who uses her body as a form of art. She continuously gets procedures done to change her body, and make it different to mold to whatever form she wishes to represent. This is taking things way too far. I plan on using this source and examples from the lives of these troubled individuals to express the severity, and extreme possibility of becoming addicted to plastic surgery.
