Plastic Surgery: Is it Ever Worth it??

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the correction or restoration of bodily form and physical function. Although not all plastic surgery is cosmetic, many people get it as a means of improving oneself or enhancing a part of their body from its natural state. However, the effects of plastic surgery does not last forever and in many cases, one operation leads to another. And it never really solves the actual problem, insecurity.

Many celebrities have proven that plastic surgery does not always turn out how they would have hoped. From boob jobs, nose jobs, lip injections, brow lifts, tummy tucks, wrinkle softeners, liposuction, and more- people are constantly trying to alter the way they look in hopes of feeling better about who they are. I strongly believe the desire to do these operations comes from the lack of confidence and security in one self.

Even many celebrities have regrets about the work they have done. It's only a matter of time before they realize the changes weren't worth it, didn't make them feel better, look better, or help their careers. They want to remove their implants and reverse their injections. If they could do it again, they would have worked on the surface issues, wear better bras, and shinier lip gloss. I've seen some of the most beautiful women and men butcher themselves with cosmetic surgeries and I shake my head with shame because in my mind, they couldn't see the beauty they possessed inside and out.

I'm not against plastic surgery, but I feel its important when doing so, to explore the deeply rooted reasons why you would indulge. Are you doing it to please someone else? Or to make yourself happier and healthier? Do you feel uncomfortable in your own skin? Or do you need to make a small adjustment to be? Will one change simply make the problem go away? Are you unhappy with something else in your life? and will the surgery truly change you and the way the world views you? If it doesn't, what then? Will you continue doing surgery until it does?

After examining yourself and understanding why you are doing it, if you still want it, beware of it's harmful effects. Remember, these changes don't last forever and may not give you a permanent release of what's truly bothering you. We can't always change the fate of aging and beauty. But if we embrace who we are and accept ourselves for our flaws and imperfections, that feeling of security and self-love can last forever.

What do you think about plastic surgery? Do you feel any cosmetic surgery is worth doing it to yourself?

hey me and most of my friends have always wanted to get our boobs done. Its just something that makes us feel more like a woman. Maybe its because so many other have it, we feel we have to compete but to be honest, with recent celebrities getting rid of it, im starting to think about the after effects and wonder if its really worth it.

I always thought about it but I'm scared! Surgery is a serious matter whether it be for an illness or just cosmetic. I watch and read about plastic surgery gone wrong. I would be scared to look like the cat lady. But in a perfect world I with no risks, I would fix a few things. But I learned to be grateful for what I got. God gave me this look for a reason, so I guess its going to have to do.

Yea it's really a trend here. It's hard not to want them when we look around and it's all we see. But this article makes me think more about who I am and why I really want it. And maybe I wan it for the wrong reasons

I say be happy for what you have, but you are truly considering it because of self confidence and your clothes may fit better, please make them a reasonable size. You know the saying "Go big or Go home" does not apply here

If I could lose weight and basically create the perfect body I've always wanted, I'd do it. Everyone wants to be perfect and of they could afford to change one thing, they would do it. These celebrities get hooked and start changing up too many things, that's why they regret it because they on the mirror and can hardly recognize themselves anymore.
