...forever improve, society has conformed to many ways of fixing imperfections. From surgeries and medications for honest sicklings to injections for greedy, pretentious abusers, people as a whole have transformed from the good ole days to the fast-paced, materialistic world. While discoveries in science are often for the benefit of society, is it possible that these newfound treasures are actually a preface for rot and ruin? Since most little girls could remember, the only way it seemed plausible to become successful was by living in the body of Cinderella or Barbie or Miss America. As they began to mature, nothing changed. The image remained as a beautiful bag of bones when media and celebrities were constantly thrown in their face. In the past, if they didn’t have “the look”, they were left hopeless and self-conscious. Thankfully, some idiot decided they would abuse the power of nature and science by providing these girls with an answer to their prayers. Plastic Surgery! What they didn’t account for was the impact. Now, not only were the glamorous allowed to have the image, everyone was-again, reducing the confidence in the female population and encouraging a new friend, bullying. Moreover, it is affecting the mental health of children in this conceited society. Surveys and recent research show that “ Teens view plastic surgery as a way to fit in and look acceptable to friends and peers” (Plastic Surgery). How is it that society has allowed this damage to take place? The...

Ethical issues or dilemmas, as will all branches of medicine, continually and increasingly plague plastic surgery. One such ethical dilemma is the recent trend of performing plastic surgery on patients with disabilities, specifically those with Down syndrome.

For children with Down’s syndrome, they may have complications or medical conditions commonly attributed with Down syndrome that can be alleviated or even eradicated by reconstructive plastic surgery.

...Though thousands of people undergo plastic surgery every year, there are some side effects to the procedures. Some patients have experienced headaches, nausea and prolonged pain. Another common side effect reported is inflammation surrounding the area of the body where the procedure was done. These side effects generally dissipate over time but can be bad in the beginning. Individuals may also experience bruising in areas of their body. In “Beautysurgeries,” (2011), the current fad in cosmetic procedures in the Hollywood community is the practice of injecting collagen to produce a supposedly sexy pout to a woman’s lips. However it turns to inflated and unnaturally large lips. In facial surgery, bad plastic surgery can result from face lifts that are too tight, causing asymmetry and tightness. Some of them lose mobility sensation in their faces due to damaged nerves. Nevertheless, sometimes bad plastic surgery can cause pains, infections, allergic reactions and even death. It can promote to implant rejection, blood clots, nerve damage, pigmentation and skin necrosis to occur. Plastic surgery can also cause the difficulties to live with bad effect surgery. It can cause paralysis, deformation and excessive scarring. Breast augmentation and liposuction are two or more popular procedures that cause...

...topic of cosmetic surgery on teenagers; however both writers express rather different opinions on how this issue should be tackled. The first text is called “Plastic surgery for teens”, by Valerie Ulene. The journalist addresses the issue of plastic surgery on teens and the consequences of this. To begin with, this article looks very critical upon the entertainment industry, which has created an image of perfection, which the majority, of teenagers cannot live up to. This is the negative perspective of things in this text. There are also some arguments, in the text, which support cosmetic surgery on teens. A lot of plastic surgeons say that cosmetic changes can help improve the self-esteem of teenagers. Having a cosmetic surgery will, according to the plastic surgeons, influence the way they see themselves and behave. But there isn’t any data which can confirm this. The second text is called “seeking self-esteem through surgery”, by Camilla Sweeney. This text also addresses the issue of cosmetic surgery on teenagers. This text looks very negative upon cosmetic surgery on teenagers. The main point in this text is to let people know, that when you are raised in a culture which is obsessed with celebrities and TV makeover shows, you are only presented with flawless people, who have a perfect appearance towards others, which makes it impossible not wanting to look like them. In conclusion it can be said that, despite their various attitudes towards cosmetic surgery, both texts seem...

...teenagers be discouraged from doing plastic surgery? What is plastic surgery? Plastic surgery is ‘the process of reconstructing or repairing parts of the body by the transfer of tissue, either in the treatment of injury or for cosmetic reasons’ (Oxford Dictionaries, 2010). Sushrutha from India, who is known as the ‘Father of Plastic Surgery’, had carried out plastic surgery a millennium before Hippocrates as well as two millenniums before European stalwarts such as Celsius and Galen (Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2009). Today, plastic surgery is becoming very popular among all people especially for teenagers. The number of teenage girls who underwent breast implant had increased from 3,872 to 11,326 in Washington, DC, USA. Based on the information from American Society of Plastic Surgeons, cosmetic implants have become very popular for all people. There were 32,000 women who underwent breast implants for augmentation in the year of 1992 whereas there was a high increase of number by the year 2003 which is 247,000 in Washington, DC, USA (Boodman, 2004). This shows that there is an increasing demand for plastic surgery. Although plastic surgery is very popular among teenagers nowadays, there are several negative drawbacks in having plastic surgery. Therefore, the main purpose of this essay is to indicate the negative drawbacks on plastic surgery in various aspects such as psychological, physical and monetary. Everyone knows that plastic surgery can help people improve or change...

...1) Introduction Cosmetic surgery is a subset of plastic surgery. Also known as reconstructive surgery, plastic surgery was first performed in India around 800 BC by Sushruta, along with Charak. It was originally intended and reserved to assist wounded and deformed soldiers in war. Plastic surgery is carried out to fix a body part or facial feature that is abnormal and reconstruct it to make it appear normal. However, in today’s society where priority is often placed on physical beauty and a youthful appearance, cosmetic surgery which is a subset of plastic surgery as mentioned above is introduced. The difference between plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery is that cosmetic surgery is not needed due to a deformity or health issue whereas plastic surgery is. Cosmetic surgery is simply a procedure taken to improve a normal body structure or body feature to make it look better through surgical and medical techniques. Today, due to regular inventions and innovations in science and technology, the field of cosmetic surgery has become safer. However, no matter how good the technological advancements are, there is always the risk of not only the surgery resulting in unwanted outcomes but in some cases death may even occur which still make cosmetic surgery not worth the risk. This paper deals with cosmetic surgery. It states two major reasons why healthy and normal people undergo cosmetic surgery. It also clarifies the physical risks involved such as hematoma, scarring, blood...

...A TEENAGER who is a Jehovah's Witness declines a potentially life-saving blood transfusion. Another teenager, self-conscious and strongly believing that it will make her happier, requests surgery to enlarge her breasts. When children and adolescents make decisions that may be against their best interests, should we respect their choice? In Britain last week, there was much discussion about the decision of 13-year-old Hannah Jones to refuse a heart transplant. Without one it seems likely that she will die in the next six months. The transplant would probably prolong her life by at least several years, and improve her ability to get around, be active and independent. About half the adults in Britain who receive heart transplants live for 10 years or longer. In Hannah's case, the transplant would carry the extra risk of a recurrence of leukaemia, which she had when she was a young child. Last month an article was published in the Journal of Adolescent Health describing the rising popularity in the US of plastic surgery for teenagers. These include liposuction, breast enlargements and tummy tucks. But the surgery can have complications, and there is no evidence that it leads to improved body image in the long term. Advertisement Some might see these contrasting cases as patient choice gone too far. Medical decisions for minors have traditionally been guided by their "best interests". Doctors are supposed to try to maximise the benefits for their young patients while...

...Breast Implants In 1997, the United States had 101,176 people that went through surgery for breast implants and in 2000 that number more than doubled to 203,310; just in those 3 years. The first surgery that was ever performed was in the late nineteenth century; breast implant devices have been used to surgically enhance the size, adjust the shape and enrich the feel of a woman’s breasts. In 1889, the first breast implant surgery was done by Dr. Robert Gersuny, who experimented with paraffin injections, but ended with catastrophic results. In 1930, silicone, a synthetic plastic, was invented for use as a breast implant filler. In 1940’s, Japanese prostitutes had their breasts injected with substances such as paraffin, sponges and non-medical grade silicone to enlarge their breasts, believing that American men favored large breasts sizes. Silicone is a metal-like substance that’s found in nature when it is combined with oxygen which creates silica. Ordinarily beach on the sand and crystals are the real silica. For the silica to turn into silicone it will have to combined with carbon, which will form silicon. It is put though further process, which then becomes polymerized; this process combines the more complex molecules. That’s the method on how they make silicone. There are three ways in which silicone can be processed: A fluid, a gel, and a solid rubber which is known as elastomer. Silicone can even be found in regular everyday items like chewing gum, cleansers, suntan lotion...

...Research Study and Ethical Considerations Research Study and Ethical Considerations There have been many cases which individuals have gone under surgery to improve their looks. Physician Malpractice is an area that has gone under scrutiny because the deaths of famous artist and movies star. As malpractices are beginning to unfold, society has come to realization that it is a major issue. Ethical issues that involve physicians who are not licensed to perform certain procedures and prescribing unpredictable amount medications to patients, which in fact, leads to death. These deaths raised concerns from licensed physicians capable to provide that service, but individuals are very skeptical these days to even consider many practices. Ethical Considerations As cases unravel, women, whom more are accepting in changing their appearance; have viewed ethical issues to relate to malpractices. According to "Legal-Medical-Ethical Issues" (2003), “A physician is civilly liable for his actions; the law is that tort negligence by the physicians may be punishable by dollar damages. Also, the physician may be criminally liable. Physicians owe a special allegiance to their patients. The usual basis of a professional liability claim is negligence; the physician has a legal duty; when the actions of such physician did not fulfill such duty harm may reset. Negligence is established by showing that without the physician’s actions, or inactions, the result would not have occurred. Physicians...

...Not only do people accept plastic surgery, they embrace it as a solution to personal and professional problems. While appearance has always been important, mainstream acceptance of plastic surgery has created a society that values appearance over ability. Teenage girls and middle-aged women seek acceptance based on their appearance in all aspects of their lives. Teenage girls want to be the prettiest and the thinnest due to the pressure of society and their peers. Middle aged women pursue plastic surgery in hopes of enhancing their looks and looking younger than what they are. Today’s society is so centered on appearance that it can be very misleading to the minds of young girls and women. There are images of female bodies everywhere in today’s society. Women are used to sell everything from cars to food. Television and big screen movie actresses are typically tall, young looking and thin. The majority of these famous women have used some type of fad diet or practiced mal nutrition. There are articles everywhere urging women and young girls to lose weight. They make claims that beauty and the perfect body will provide the perfect marriage and rewarding lifestyles. Beauty truly is only skin deep. One cannot achieve what they desire based on their looks alone. You can turn on the TV or open any magazine such as US Weekly and see the latest cosmetic surgery that some actress recently underwent. There are publications everywhere promoting what’s...

...On the night of your honeymoon, you remember running your hands through your husband's hair. You've always liked how his hair felt between your fingers. It was soft, wavy, and almost delicate. But, that was years ago. Today, his receding hairline and thinning hair cannot conceal the years that have passed since you first met. You know that looks are superficial and that your love for him goes beyond appearance. But somehow, you can't help but wish he had more hair. You've seen people on TV and on the Internet grow back their hair using the latest trends in hair restoration. The problem is you don't know how to convince your husband that he doesn't look good with a shaved head. No matter what his objection is, there is a way to talk to him that will get your point across. "But I don't want to hurt his feelings..." Men just don't admit it, but they also care about how they look. They also want to appear young, handsome, and oozing with sex appeal, especially to their wives. But don't expect them to say it. Try to explore his feelings about his hair loss, but do it in the right setting. For example, ask him to accompany you to the salon for hair extensions or keratin hair therapy. While awaiting your hair treatment, browse hair restoration ads and brochures together. In a casual tone, find the perfect timing to say, "Honey, don't you miss having hair?" "But he thinks it's fake and expensive..." Perhaps he has seen people who have previously undergone hair transplants with...
