Molded Beauty

We have become a civilization obsess with beauty .It has come to the point where by there are millions of plastic surgery procedures each year.Plastic surgeons are becoming iconic and one of them has his own T.V. show.Some people are so dissatisfied with their looks that they have had numerous surgeries and most of us have seen the hideous results.Women, the number one partakers, are changing their features to look more and more feline.

People with birth defects and deformities I can understand wanting to go under the knife.But there are those who simply do not need it.Actors whose face and appearance are the tools of their trade are the main purveyors of this practice.And now the whole world believes that you must have a straighter nose,stronger chin line,slimmer waist.Exercise and healthy eating are out the door and liposuction has taken over.

For me it doesn't matter how beautiful you are on the outside.A pig in a suit is just that, a pig in a suit.

Here here!

I agree when its for severe deformities...the argument is a difficult one. I can say that someone with a deformity would want plastic surgey because they want to be what they term as 'normal'. I could also say the same for some who is overweight. Yes, they can loose the weight but then they'll have saggy skin which needs some form of plastic surgery to 'fix'.

Its all for selfish motives anyway isnt it
