Dying to be “beautiful” In today's world, people seem to continue to strive to meet what the media calls the “perfect” body. For many people, especially women, this is becoming a very unnatural way of thinking. The perfect body only helps the self-confidence of those who undergo the surgery. Today, the image that the media portrays, such as “the image of the perfect body”, is false and dangerous. You have to be confident in your appearance and not go by what the media makes people look like. Of course there are people who disagree and are completely in favor of plastic surgery and think it's great. Just because cosmetic surgery makes people look younger and sometimes prettier, doesn't mean the health effects will be better. What many don't realize is that photographers and editors make celebrities in magazines look as flawless as they do. Those are not the real body parts and even the models can vouch for that. It's understandable to want to be better at things in life, a new car, a new house or more money, but beauty is the exception. Many women are becoming obsessed with making their bodies look “the best.” Julia Roberts once said, “your face tells a story, and it shouldn't be the story of your journey to the doctor's office. It's a shame that we live in such a dysmorphic, panicked society, where women don't even give themselves the chance to see what they'll look like when they're older." In this quote, he is saying that when you look at someone else, you can notice whether they have had plastic surgery or not. Ashlee Simpson however has a different view. He said: “I don't mind people saying what they say. I am a happy person and I am happy with the way I look. I'm not an insecure person. I believe if someone chooses the pla... middle of paper... walk and take care of themselves,” Ryan said.” (Medical News) In conclusion, I believe that cosmetic surgery has its positive effects and negative effects depending on the situation and the person. It makes people look younger and tightens the skin. The physical appearance is positive, but the health effects and costs are negative. It can often be helpful in removing scars and horrible marks on the skin. But other than that, it is just a process of faking our natural attractiveness behind cosmetic surgery, giving in to the desires of others and going against our own self-confidence. As wonderful as this piece of semi-new medical technology may seem, plastic surgery isn't all that beneficial. This is why the idea of ​​the perfect body image must be abandoned and we must recognize that everyone is an extraordinary person, no matter how beautiful or ugly they are...
