The world is very image conscious; everyone is constantly concerned about the state of their hair, the wrinkles on their face and the shape of various body parts. Where previously people would have dealt with what they had, the invention of cosmetic surgery and the fact that it is now becoming more affordable has made it possible for people to live out their fantasies of having the near perfect body or image of themselves.

In reality this will never happen as perfection is something that is unobtainable. If someone wants to tweak a certain body part to make it better through cosmetic surgery it is likely that once they have perfected or achieved a level that they find satisfactory for this particular body part that they will notice another imperfection on their body that they would like to change.

This can lead to a vicious cycle where people get addicted to the thought of obtaining a better body and constantly seek to change things. In the end some of these individuals start to look more like a plastic Barbie doll than they do like a human being. Although on photo shoots These cosmetic surgery enhanced individuals may look perfect without any blemishes, up close in person the effects of surgery has taken its toll on them and they look unnatural.

Cosmetic surgery can help in certain cases where someone is so disgusted with a body part that it has had a serious effect on their self esteem. However, it is always best for individuals to speak through any procedures they wish to have completed with friends, family and a surgical consultant. This way the individual should obtain a balanced view on whether or not to follow through with the procedure.

It seems a shame that we have become so image conscious and less concerned about what really matters and that is what is on the inside. We are surrounded by people who appear to think that it is more important to look good than anything else. The sad fact of the matter is that cosmetic surgery will only change the way you look it will not change any deep down conscious or unconscious impressions that you may have built up. So when you consider whether or not to go for a surgical procedure you need to ask yourself some serious questions. Will this surgery really change your life for the better? And are you having the surgery for the right reasons?
