“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” an old maxim that has become so trivial and trite that barely anybody regards it as true or even worth noting. In a world where technological leaps dominate, plastic surgery has become one of the most successful and popular commercial branches. Its possibilities to give people a new start, a new life, attracts more than millions of people every year. Beauty has replaced honour and personality as the new currency in the world.
Why should you consider plastic surgery then? Well as imperfect human beings, we relentlessly strive to overcome the imperfections as written by our genes. Plastic surgery offers a path on which we can overleap the obstacles of natural defects. People born with natural physical defects, or environmental defects caused by tragic accidents such as fires and traffic accidents, may very well choose to have plastic surgery. It not only enhances their physical appearance, but also boosts their own self-confidence. The inconvenient truth is that appearance dominates from careers to relationships, people with better looks usually get the upper-hand in life.
To the many good reasons as to why plastic surgery is beneficial, it is actually a dangerous operation, and goes against the act of God.The plastic surgeries are not perfect, there are bound to be accidents, even without accidents, operations such as double eyelid operations may potentially making the eyelids more loose with age. If the operations fail, not many people can withstand the pressure and depression.
Evidently, natural beauty is the best beauty. We should not use appearance as the standard to judge, but with personality, skills, and other moral traits to judge a person’s value. This standard of integrity offers a far more valuable standard to the society than the shallow beauty that comes out of plastic surgery could ever offer.
