Today, more and more teenagers prefer to get cosmetic surgery because they pay attention to their physical appearance. All of young people hope to have a good appearance, but getting cosmetic surgery to improve their physical appearance has the risk. Thus, people have different attitude to treat getting cosmetic surgery. Sometime, it depends on different cultures.
There are a lot of reports of failed cosmetic surgery, so that people have a fear about cosmetic surgery. But the most important reason makes more American get cosmetic surgery that people dare to try cosmetic surgery despite the risks. On the other hand, having a good physical appearance makes people confident in the United States. They will have more chances to find good jobs.
However, in China, although a lot of teenagers aren't satisfied with their appearance, they are afraid of the risks. Besides the risks, some traditional customs make the Chinese not want to get cosmetic surgery. Moreover, if their children offer to get cosmetic surgery, elderly people will be angry with their children and try to prevent their children from getting it.
In my opinion, our bodies were gifts from their parents, so I don’t want to change their bodies. I think if people are confident, they should focus on improve their personality instead of physical appearance.
I completely agree with you. American society has become more vain and focused on looks. It has gotten ridiculous! I feel media takes much of the blame. Media shows these women whom basically starve themselves days before a photoshoot so that they look "good" for it. Then that photo is taken and augmented completely. The girl in the picture in real life does not even look like the final picture. Yet we show this in magazines and let poor children think that is what they have to look like in order to be "pretty". It is completely sad that we allow our children to feel this way. Many normal people are pretty and attractive looking without having to make changes to their body. American society puts way to my emphasis on looks instead of concentrating on the personality. Beauty fades, but your personality is forever.
