Plastic Surgery.

Hi everyone.

I am starting my first entry with a very particular topic that is increasing in my country, Venezuela,nowadays.

It seems that being naturally beautiful is not enough. The society ( Magazines, models, T.V, movies and some others) is telling us that we need to go through changes so that we can be accepted in this probably fake circle, which everybody is trying to be someone else. What do you think?

On the other hand, I just noticed that having some extra pounds or kilograms of weight is a sin and it is even banned. Being skinny is beautiful, though Why? Psychological speaking, being accepted is what everybody wants (obvious) but at what prize? Is it necessary going through a surgery, having new breast, nose, stomach ( unless you have had a baby and want to remove that extra skin) and perfecting your body in order to be liked by others?

I just see young ladies are very fond of surgeries , wasting and spending their money ( or their parents') on surgeries but not for college, studies, a nice house or even a nice trip abroad. why?

When I was 18 years old ( I'm 25 years old, now) I wanted to have breast augmentation, but, Was it going to be worthy? Was it going to raise my self-esteem? What for? No way. I changed my mind. I kept on studying and being beautiful just how I am like. (I'm graduated as a Teacher of English, now).

I just think plastic surgery has got a "cosmetic" connotation rather than a corrective one. Yes. If you have gone through breast cancer, you have been burn or had an accident, you MUST have a plastic/corrective surgery, of course and I agree with it, but... having it to be liked/loved/accepted/ by others? Or just because you have low self-esteem?

And you? What do you think?

Mod Comment by Robbie on September 2, 2012 at 16:11: Interesting topic! It's a norm to some countries to have cosmetic surgery just for beauty. Some Hollywood celebrities can influence young individuals to undergo surgeries just to fit in. Hardi is right, personality development could help an individual to improve his/her self-esteem. Thank you for sharing this blog, Oriani! : )

Yes,being natural is better than being so plastic. Oh, and of course that these surgeries move big amount of money. Not only the doctors who do the procedure but also the people who receive these ones ( such as models, actors or actresses, Misses...etc)

Comment by Kety on July 27, 2012 at 17:53: I strongly agree with you Oriana.
These kinds of surgery cost much money and they are dangerous. However, it is a nice thing if you have a serious problem.
I think beauty is inside us. Nowadays, many people want to be different and other people take advantage of that. We musn't forget these kinds of surgery move huge amount of money.

Mod Comment by Nafis on July 27, 2012 at 16:46: very nice blog! I personally don't like these kinds of surgery and I think the surgery can't change anything when one feels unworthy within and I 've seen how they became ugly after few years. I think it's great to be naturally beautiful. Beauty should be inside more than outside.
