It's hard to please the average American these days. Whether it's with wealth, or fame, and definitely with looks. Everyday, people will go to the extremes to look their best, and of course to impress other beautiful people. But how far will people go for that perfection and symmetry that we all look for in a person. Obviously, people with the time and money, will go all the way.
Plastic surgery has been the new age fixer upper that people turn to when they're physical appearance just isn't meeting their needs. Whether it's a breast implant, facial surgery, nose job, you name it, they'll fix it. And not for a cheap price either. A face lift alone is around $6,000. Any thing else could be in the range of 300-7000 dollars. And people do it all the time. Women will spend thousands of dollars on Botox injections ($385), or collagen injections ($333). With each one only lasting about four months, that gets costly. Of course, for people who can through money like that away will do so. And all for the same reason of appealing the eye of others.
What people don't think about, are the consequences of looking beautiful...because sometimes, the results aren't..so beautiful...I was looking on the Internet, at pictures of plastic surgery procedures gone wrong, like really disgusting messed up wrong. And with a lot of the pictures I came across, most of the before pictures actually looked better. Most of the pictures in those cases though, were ones that had to do with fixing the face. Some of the body ones turned out good, but really, its nothing a good healthy diet and exercise plan can't fix. So that kind of leads me back to how lazy people are. Instead of walking 2 miles a day, women just go get a tummy tuck. Less work, but a lot more money.
I guess the last thing to ask is, is it really worth it? I understand that it's important to have a good self-esteem about yourself, and that people will strive for that confidence. But personally, I think that that confidence would be worth more if people knew that they didn't cheat their way out of wor
king hard for looking good.
