Cosmetic Surgery {type) To Use As A Writing Model

Cosmetic surgery is the topic of many of the tense feminist debates. The act of cosmetic surgery, generally done for image “enhancement” is considered a bit shallow by some. The heavy focus on looks is something many women feel they are under pressure for. Especially when a large percentage of cosmetic surgery procedures are aimed at women who want to feel more attractive. Many of the choices and reasons for these choices are external pressures. Is it media pressure? Pressure from one’s spouse or intimate partner? Low self-esteem that is assumed to be fixed after the aesthetic changes take place? Unrealistic expectations about how one will feel post-surgery?
Low self-esteem is definitely a part of why women are so drawn to cosmetic surgery. But it is not just an internal motivation to select such dramatic and risky procedures to change one’s appearance. Too much pressure by the media is placed on women’s appearance and with more and more magazines, television and movie stars turning towards procedures, make-up tricks, spanx, and Photo Shop at their disposal, the sense of competition further harms self-esteem. Unless a woman feels she is physically attractive, she feels less important.
Some candidates are better for plastic-surgery than others. Many individuals living in the U.S. may have excess weight and issues that require a reasonable understanding for plastic surgery that is not entirely about vanity. However, there are some candidates who are already attractive yet cannot stop chasing a sense of perfection, which is not the ideal candidate for plastic surgery. Unfortunately Brazil is notorious for the amount of women are hardly need the work, but continue to work towards being even more beautiful and sexy.
Based on Edmunds assertion “Beauty, then, is an unfair hierarchy, but one which can disturb other unfair hierarchies,” it is easy to think of plastic surgery is both a means to greater equality and inequality. On the one hand more people are able to change something about themselves which may make them feel more conformed to the beauty standards around them, yet on the other hand the unfair focus of allowing some to become in authentically attractive creates a barrier for those who opt to keep their natural appearance as is.
