Plastic Surgery:
The Rewards Outweighs The Risk Plastic surgery is the specialized branch of surgery concerned with repairing deformities, correcting functional deficits, and enhancing appearance. Unlike most surgical specialties, plastic surgery is not confined to one specific area of the body. Though cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is the best known kind of plastic surgery, plastic surgery is not necessarily cosmetic; and includes many types of reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns.
Plastic surgery is sometimes necessary in a world where people are often judged on first impressions. Even though our multicultural nation has become much more broadminded of bodily variances, in particular those linked with different nationalities, an ingrained idea of attractiveness and sense of beauty defines the most desirable physical qualities. For people who don’t measure up to their idea of attractiveness, or normal looking, a lot of the times they feel alienated, they have unfulfilling relationships, low self-esteem and feel trapped in their bodies.
I’ve seen the commercials and advertisements in the newspapers, magazines and on-line for cosmetic surgery. A guilty pleasure of mine is to look at one the tabloid magazines like the Star or The Enquirer to see which celebrity had what procedure done, and in particular when the results turn out bad. You see it all the time, a good looking famous person for some reason or another decides to “get some work done” and come out looking like a caricature of them self or they’re just totally unrecognizable. Just like anyone else, I don’t think I’m perfect, and I wish that some of my features turned out better. I’ve thought about how I would of liked to have this or that done or was
