The Risks and Benefits of Cosmetic Surgery
Introduction
For modern people, cosmetic surgery has become increasingly popular. Some believe it is a technique to enhance beauty. The basic intention of this surgery is to enhance an individual’s appearance by changing body parts. On the other hand, others disagree, saying that cosmetic surgery can pose a risk of serious diseases such as a heart attack.
Risks of Cosmetic Surgery
.
Following a cosmetic procedure, patients may develop infection, disease or illnesses. Along with cosmetic surgery, complications such as: “paralysis of the face or other body parts, abnormal heart rhythm, airway obstruction, blood clots, brain damage, heart attack, malignant hyperthermia, nerve damage and stroke” are possible (Disadvantages). After surgery, patients may have to undergo a lengthy healing process. Healing takes days, months, or even forever depending on the patient (Disadvantages).
Cosmetic surgery is a growing industry in global health care. This expansion is hugely influenced by innovative technologies for body improvement and beautification and further enhanced by cultural influences in western countries. It seeps from and into glossy magazines, television screens and film. Although culturally influenced, it is also culturally influencing (Braun 2005).
Do you think this development is positive or negative.
In this rampant age of modernization, people are applying different products as well as they are visiting cosmetic surgeons for enhancing their looks irrespective of their gender and age. I believe over-indulgence in such practices has bad impact on health.
The major reason for experimenting with appearances is that the individuals want to look different and attain everyone’s attention. Whether a person is a college-going or well educated professional, everyone want to be an epitome of flawless beauty. These ‘eye-catchers’ are easily swayed by ‘profit-hungry’ companies which endorse their products through people’s favourite celebrities. Moreover, these advertised spot-removal creams, hair styling gels claim instant results and viewers, to improve their looks and conceal their advancing age, purchase these products, for example, sales of fairness creams is particularly very high in India, and mainly females of age group between 20 and 50 buy these gels.
I believe that there is no harm in looking beautiful but if it is at the cost of health, it is not worthy. It can be often seen, these treatments paradoxically reduces the natural glow of skin and leave a permanent damage to hair and scalp. Several chemicals are added to these cosmetics which can ruin the health causing certain kinds of allergies and discomforts. Moreover, after having plastic surgeries one has to remain very conscious about his diet and even has to take certain medicines on regular bases which can cause many side-effects.
To cap it all, I would like to say, one should emphasize more on eternal beauty. Even, external beauty should be maintained by incorporating natural remedies in daily routines and use of such treatments should be restricted to obtain life-long positive outcomes.
Over the Years, the fashion industry has grown immensely. Models go through a lot of makeovers in the form of hair colouring, cosmetic surgeries and cosmetic applications to keep them looking young and beautiful.They have huge fan following and influence certain group of people.
In my essay, i will mention the reasons for this trend ,its benefits and risks and then will put my opinion.
In this competitive world ,there is always a drive to excel which leads them to do something outstanding. to put themselves in frontline people try to make them look attractive and appealing.This makes them choose trendy hairstyles with different hair colour and using various cosmetic products. Sometimes these trends don’t suit their body or face then they go for extreme things like cosmetic surgeries.From its origin of being used for burnt or traumatised victim,the cosmetic surgery has spread his legs into the fashion industry.
The positive aspect of this trend is that when we look beautiful and attractive, we automatically feel more confident, which reflects in our working style.This leads people to progress and prosper. Everybody admires a hard working person but if that person is stylish, beautiful and attractive, then he becomes a role model.
On the contrary , it also has some negative impacts on people’s health.Sometimes the cosmetic surgeries go so wrong that the final result is horrible. Too much hair colouring and excessive use of cosmetics also is a health hazard.Moreover, these all are quite expensive.
In my opinion, this advancement with mixed shades is to be handled very carefully. People should learn to accept the fact that real beauty comes from within. There is no harm in using some methods to make yourself look admirable and outstanding, but not at the cost of comfort and health.
