Because if we make a statement like being against body modifications with cosmetic surgery in mind we tend to forget it comes at all levels like you said like braces. Then what separates weave, makeup, colored contacts etc. all the things we choose to "enhance" our beauty?<br /><br />I feel plastic surgery is okay. When people become obsessed and take it too far that's when it becomes a problem that's probably mental. As someone who's had to have multiple surgery for health reasons i am in awe of people who do cosmetic surgery because surgery freaks me out! I also don't want my cause of death to be: plastic surgery :(<br /><br />I wore braces as an adult. When i was 27 actually.

Phew.

There is just that nagging thing in their life that continues to draw them back, and they really aren’t able to “snap out of it”, even when they try. And this thing drawing them back could be anything – emotional turmoil from their past, a lisp in their speech, a body odour that they have, a social caste that they fall into, the way they walk, the way their body looks, their accent... the list goes on. And flimsy as it sounds, these things can have a huuuge impact on an individual’s outlook to life, and their productivity in different ventures that they undertake.<br />Some of those things, unfortunately, the person would always have to deal with – e.g. they can never change their social caste no matter what. But for some people, their issues are physical in nature, and with the advent of modern technology, they can go under the knife, as it were, and deal with that nagging issue. So the way I see it, if an individual feels like they are living life sub-optimally with a particular nagging physical feature, I don’t see why they should not go ahead and do what they need to feel more confident. For some ladies, all they need is a dash of red lipstick, and they feel like they can take on the world – but for others, they may have to undergo surgery to achieve that feeling. <br />People become very moral and self-righteous when it comes to plastic surgery, but quite frankly, when we get down to the nitty gritties of it – anyone who has ever had braces on their teeth has had plastic surgery. Anyone who’s ever been to the dentist to amend their dentition has had plastic surgery. Anyone who’s ever had laser eye treatment for vision correction has had plastic surgery. Just because it is less subtle than going to have a boob implant or an abdominoplasty does not make it any less of plastic surgery than the others. Moreover, anyone who has ever used a drop of makeup in their life really should not be making a comment about others not being happy with their natural look because quite frankly, they are both serving the same purpose – altering your natural appearance to an appearance that makes you feel more confident, albeit one being more permanent than the other. <br />So, am I advocating plastic surgery for all and sundry? By all means, No!. The first and most important thing is self love and self acceptance, because if you don’t accept yourself, you would always continue to find faults with yourself and new procedures you could undergo, and it just becomes a slippery slope from there. The surgeon continues to get richer at your expense, and you eventually start looking like a joke. But my point is, people may need to hop off their moral high horse when it gets to why some people choose to undergo plastic surgery, because faced with the same challenges as the person is experiencing, they just might do the same. <br /><br />sorry Berry, I can’t believe I wrote a full Essay on this... haha!<br />Ada_ugohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08521625013628121623noreply@blogger.com
