In order to change their appearance people often turn to plastic surgery. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such an approach ?

Nowadays, turning to

plastic

surgery has become increasingly popular. For many people, especially for young adults, the chance to change their

appearance

is really an attractive one.

However

, there are both pros and cons to

this

. In

this

essay, I will discuss some of the benefits of

plastic

surgery and what kind of risks are behind it. Let's begin by looking at the advantages of changing your

appearance

by a surgical method. One of the main positives is that it improves your self-esteem and enhances the prospects of private

life

. What I mean by

this

is that you have the chance to meet people with the

appearance

that completely meets your needs.

This

can make you feel more confident.

Secondly

, let's be honest, hair implants and breast enlargement can lead to a better quality of

life

. Take famous actors and actresses

for example

. Many people from the entertainment industry change their look all the time. Their attractiveness is mostly provided by

plastic

surgeons and they begin to love themselves even more, afterwards.

In addition

, you can gain better relationships and be promoted if your job is related to fashion and displays your body. Turning to the other side of the argument the possibility of getting damaged during an operation is a major problem. Many people who consider undergoing

plastic

surgery find that the chances are not astronomical. The possibility to live the rest of the

life

with an injury on your body or even face terrifies everyone. The

second

problem is that the prices for it are not really that low. Breast augmentation,

for instance

, is around $4500 and hair implants cost around $3500. These prices are not affordable for everyone. All things considered, making up your mind about changing your

appearance

is never easy. You need to weigh up the pros of better

life

conditions, job promotions and so on and the cons of the possibility of getting damaged, the prices and possible public shaming. Personally, I believe, the benefits of getting rid of things you don’t like and improving parts of your body outweigh any negatives.
