An increasing number of people are choosing to have cosmetic surgery in order to improve their appearance. Why are more people choosing to have operation to change the way they look? Do you think this a positive or negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Nowadays, there is an upward trend of cosmetic

surgery

in which

people

are choosing to improve their

appearance

by passing through an operating room.

This

could be because of the importance of the

appearance

and youth. In my opinion, I consider that

this

is not beneficial at all for their bodies and their beings as they are forcing themselves to be something

that is

not natural for them, something

that is

fake at some point, only to be liked by

people

.

To begin

with, it seems that wishing “better”

appearance

is something very common these days.

In other words

,

people

are more worried about weight, beauty and youth than their own lives.

For instance

, it has been claimed that 60% of

people

from 25 to 50 years old are getting at least one cosmetic

surgery

, passing from Botox to breast implants and much more. Social pressure has been growing lately, demanding

people

they have to look good, fit, young and happy.

Consequently

,

people

have been drowned in desperation trying many things to improve quickly their

appearance

, but when they realize

that is

not possible, they opt to get an operation

instead

. Regarding

this

,

people

have been manipulated over the decades to be convinced that the way you look is more important than who you really are and want to be.

In addition

to

this

, the principle of immediacy has

also

impacted negatively on

people

, who have been obsessed with getting everything fast.

For example

, there are statistics of

people

who went through cosmetic

surgery

proving that the main reason for choosing the operation was because they used to feel depressed as they could not accept their bodies, feeling shame by themselves and covering their bodies to not be exposed to jokes.

This

is clear proof of how harmful social judgement could be.

Subsequently

, having cosmetic

surgery

is causing a very negative effect on

people

and society as a whole because of the “invisible” message behind all

this

, which is “being fake and pretending is more important than who you really are”. In conclusion, even if the increase in cosmetic

surgery

is a huge business for medical professionals and pharmaceutics, I am convinced that it is a completely negative development. We cannot deny that the modern principles of immediacy and superficiality are catastrophic for

people

who do not fit in the hegemonic society, and who try to be liked

instead

of loving themselves.

This

is a critical issue in which all of us should compromise to speak up and defend principles

such

as love and acceptance.
