Is cosmetic surgery
good or bad?
Nowadays, cosmetic
surgery has become more popular for modern people. Some people
believe that it is a science to increase the beauty of a person. The basic aim
of this surgery is to enhance the appearance of the individual that is done by
altering the parts of the body. On the other hand, other people disagree with
it. They said that cosmetic surgery involves risk which may cause serious
diseases such as heart attack. Can we trust the surgeons? Can we change our
appearance to whatever we want by getting cosmetic surgery?

Is cosmetic surgery good or

It can alleviate mental illnesses
Some people are so consumed
with their appearance that they let it affect their mental well being. There
are even some mental illnesses which are based solely on the body’s
appearance, things like anorexia and body dismorphia. These are illnesses
whereby people harm themselves through worry about their appearance. If we have
people who have the ability to change what these people do not like about their
bodies then why should we not use it to helpthese people with their mental
well being?
This is not solving the
problem at route. The problem is the perception that the mind has on what is
important. All cosmetic surgery is doing is changing the appearance but not the
mental state. Someone who has such a mental disposition to these illnesses will
have their offending limb changed, but they will ultimately always find something
they are not happy with. Instead of cosmetic surgery, these people should be
offered psychological help. Cosmetic surgery only masks the inner problem.

People have freedom of expression. .
A legal argument can be made
for cosmetic surgery. Under the Human Rights Act which enshrines the
European Convention on Human Rights, we have the freedom to express ourselves,
Article 10 ECHR. If we feel that our body does not reflect who we are as
people, then we have the right to change it. If we can dye our hair, change our
clothes and have piercings, why should we not be able to express ourselves via cosmetic
surgery. Now, this right would not extend to NHS payment for the cosmetic
surgery, but if someone can afford to spend money on their own appearance,
there is no reason why they should not be able to, and there is a legal reason
why they should be able to
It is laughable to think that
having larger breasts or lips can be classified as the use of
‘freedom of expression’. How low has our society gone if we think the
most valuable use of our right to freedom of expression is the right to have
cosmetic surgery and dye our hair? The availability of cosmetic surgery and the
making it more acceptable only lets the idea infiltrate society that it is ok
to want physical perfection, and that appearance is important. Surely we would
want our young to grow up with higher hopes and aspirations.

Wealthy people need to spend their money some
how
Currently, we are in a
recession. But even in a healthy economy it is never good to have vast amounts
of stagnant cash remaining in one family. This money is economically redundant.
If people have money, and they wish to spend it they should be implored to do
so. The money would be paid to surgeons who have their own surgeries. Those
surgeries would pay for receptionists, cleaners, repairmen. These are all jobs
created out of money which would otherwise be left sitting in the banks of the
rich. Cosmetic surgery is a way of prising money out of the hands of the rich
and vain, which is most certainly a good thing.
Whilst money changing hands
is always good in an economy, the reality is the money is going from the hands
of the rich back into the hands of the rich. Surgeons are already among the
upper middle class stratum. Then you have to take into consideration that rich
people will use the most experienced and popular surgeons. These surgeons will
be of a higher income than the other surgeons (who would still have a hefty
salary). The wages paid to cleaners and the other menial workers would pale
insignificant to what the surgeons were earning. The surgeon would then keep
the money and they would save it, so the money would still be redundant in our
failing economy.

If the person had a car crash or was burned in
fire, the might have a cosmetic surgery to improve their appearance
If a person did get into an
terriable accident,and in thier unfortunate case their body was severly damaged
.Then (I think) they would not only suffer physical dismay but mential dismay
as well. Can you imagine having the same appearence for most of your life and
then suddenlly you look in the miorror and you see,not you but
someone/something (there have been cases where these poeple refer to themselvs
as something instead of someone) else? If most people we under these
circumstances then they would not be able to handle the emotional warfare
between what they see and what they know, and the only way SOME might find out
of hell, is to plastic surgery...(unfortunatly)
hi my name is santhosh my
trunk was burned i want surgury to get my first look
You need to show your true
colours and not hide behind a mask. (Or plastic...)
Is cosmetic surgery good or
bad?
it depends
someone said that : " i
love the artificial beauty rather than the natural ugliness".that point of
view is right, in some extent. comestic surgery is not bad, itself.we cant deny
that enhance the apperance is the demand of people coz everyone always want to
be more good-looking in others' eyes. The point here is the way you make it. If
you take too much advantage of comestic surgery, it's really dangerous and you
can face unforeseen consequences. then it's too late for u to regret. Donatella
Versace is a typical example.(i'm sure you guys know her- famous fashion
designer ).Her face changes drastically due to some unfortunate plastic
surgery. so think carefully before you make any comestic surgery .

It shows us for the spoilt race we are
Spoilt is surely not the term
to describe the phenomenon you are describing. With the availability of
cosmetic surgery these days, at a pretty price, people are realising that they
can achieve anything they want if they work hard to achieve it. If anything
this raises people’s aspirations. People want to work hard, save their money
instead of squandering it and pay for what they really want. This is the
working of a Protestant work ethic, the harder you work the more you can
achieve. Spoilt is when you attain what you want with no work. But the vast
amount of money and the days of recuperation required is a large price to pay
for cosmetic surgery and people weigh up their options of whether cosmetic
surgery means that much to them.
Cosmetic surgery only serves
to show everyone how spoilt we are. What we want we can get, even if we pay
thousands and go under the knife for it. When people feel that there is
something that they cannot possibly achieve, it humbles them. The feeling of
not being able to get something reiterates to us how we are merely mortal and
not Gods. However, cosmetic surgery changes this perception. We feel we can
achieve all we want to in life, and that only feeds our vanity and our spoilt
natures. We would not want this for our children, so why do we want it for
grown adults?

People go into debt copying celebrities
Surgery is becoming more and
more common, and contrary to popular belief, it is not among the rich. Poorer
people now are considering cosmetic surgery as a viable option for them. These
people will save and save, sacrificing their ordinary day lives in order to
look like celebrities; whether that be extreme fanaticism or just having the
“perfect body”. This is not healthy, if these people did not have the option to
have cosmetic surgery they would live better lives. They would spend their
money on things that are more important that their appearance. A case can also
be made that cosmetic surgery helped create our recession. People filled their
heads with ambitions of looking good, and took on debt in order to cover the
cost. This was debt on credit cards and mortgages which ultimately led to the
credit crunch.

People take what can be good to the extreme.
In some cases, cosmetic
surgery does help individuals. Things like skin grafts on burn victims, or the
correcting of an abnormal feature on the human body. These things help people
feel more normal. This is how cosmetic surgery was first used. Then people
started to use cosmetic surgery, not to look merely normal, but to look
perfect. They wanted their bodies to look like the airbrushed girl/boy in the
magazines. However, we have now been taken one step further into the nightmare
by people using surgery to look abnormal. People having their features changed
in order to look like animals or serpents. This freaky use of cosmetic surgery
is not healthy. What was once medical and good is now nothing more than a
freaky side show.

There will be a severe case of side effects
1. experts(even the
pro-cosmetics) warn that the physical pain is quite severe. This includes back
pain, bruises, and so on. This is so serious that you may have to wear head
bandages after a surgery.
2. Also, years after you have
surgery, you will have to face the later side effects: that is, the effects
which will disfigure you. a very funny example of this is South Korea: you
often see people who suffer because of those effects. You will know if you ever
surf in the Korean Internet.

Good and Bad
I believe that cosmetic surgery is a personal option but in
some cases it becomes a bad addiction. In the case of the personal option, i
don't think that plastic surgery is necessarily a bad thing. All human beings
have some sense of insecurity and for some people that insecurity is their
appearance. I think that plastic surgery is a self esteem booster, which a
little boost is not a problem. For example, my mother's friend Valerie was self
conscious about the size of her breast for twenty four years of her life. She
would not go out in public with a bathing suit on, she would be very selective
on the type of blouses she would wear, and she felt that men would not date her
because of her breast size. She finally decided to pursue a breast
augmentation. Afterwards, she says that she felt like a different woman. No
longer was her self esteem low, but she actually felt good about herself. As
Valerie describes, "This minor cosmetic surgery drastically changed my
life." These circumstances where plastic surgery is minor but creates a
positive change in a person's life are not bad. Also cosmetic surgery, in many
cases, helps save people's lives. For example, a burn victim needs new skin on
their face so that they will not bleed to death or a woman is diagnosed with breast
cancer and has to remove her breasts in order to survive. Cosmetic surgery is
changing their appearance just like someone were to change their hair color, or
get an ear piercing. If the changes are made moderately to make someone happy
than ultimately I believe there is nothing wrong with it unless it becomes
excessive.
Secondly, I believe when
cosmetic surgery becomes an obsession is when it turns into a bad situation.
People start changing their perception from a physical to a mental problem.
That is why I believe that cosmetic surgery should have limitations. If someone
is coming in weekly for a different procedure, than i classify that as a
problem. At this point people get surgery not because it makes them happy but
because it has become a norm to their lifestyle. This is why doctors should
come up with a test to evaluate the mental state of their patient before they
undergo procedures. The test should ask specific questions so that doctors can
tell if their patient is at a point where the surgery is going to make them
happy or the surgery is just another form of an addiction. I don't believe it
would be difficult to tell this distinction because in my opinion there is a
fine line between the two types of people. Overall, this is the reason that I chose
to argue it depends. Each individual person truly contributes to cosmetic
surgery to be both good and bad.
