Plastic Surgery Obsession

Plastic surgery is a form of reconstructive surgery that restores altered body image related to burns, injury and disease conditions like severe forms of leprosy. Plastic surgery has been a controversial field in medicine since the practice limits itself on health options and not on personal gain. Most surgeons operate based on the “need” to restore like in cases of breast reduction, laceration repairs, and hand repair. Although, there have been a lot of illegal practices common in third world countries to sculpt a desired self despite the idea of its incompetent credentials.

For most, plastic surgery is a lifestyle. It enhances one’s self-concept. Remember that plastic surgery should be all for the right reasons pertaining to health and wellness. As media has defined the significance of beauty and perfection, plastic surgery has become a “normal” venture for celebrities and the likes. A normal person wouldn’t delve into plastic surgery unless necessary, as a matter of health deficit or a health threat.

The influence of media and celebrities would rise to the obsession to be perfect. Thus, a person living in the margin of poverty would resort to loaning for the sole purpose of plastic surgery, raising one’s debt to a level higher.

Although research has found that Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) has a lofty influence on the obsession of plastic surgery. This disorder involves a disturbance in body image that is linked with somatoform disorders or eating disorders. This creates preoccupation on a person’s mind that she has the perception of defect in her physical features.

The accomplishment of plastic surgery would conceal her high levels of anxiety giving temporary relief. This could also mean a lot of plastic surgery before satisfaction occurs but most of the time it doesn’t and requires therapy to halt such disorder.
