Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

Off late the surgeon wielding a scalpel has assumed the role of sculptor and is thus shaping the fortunes of many a distraught human, utterly concerned about appearances. Pro and anti lobbyists are at a loss for words either espousing or condemning this human intervention into the lord’s designs. All said and done, Cosmetic Plastic Surgery is today a multi million dollar business that leaves a big smile on the face of the sculpted as well as the sculptor.

The Deed

The science or the art of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery has traversed a long journey and recent developments lay claims to dream like possibilities. Total visage makeovers can leave a person absolutely transformed. These denting and painting jobs come at a price that can leave a lesser mortal dazed for days, but there are many who do not mind emptying out their treasure chests to pay for fuller breasts. Unlike in a bygone era, when such efforts at makeovers were closely guarded secrets, today, there are no qualms whatsoever to admitting to the Botox in the bulge .The human body is now been subjected to hemming, sawing, sucking (liposuction) and stretching, with a vain, though sincere effort to enhancing height, smoothening wrinkles, reshaping facial appendages (nose and ears), and redefining jaw lines and cleavages.

The Need:

A highly debated issue is the morality and related dangers of tampering with what nature has ordained in terms of endowments and countenance. Those propagating the practice swear by the immense benefits gained in terms of enhanced self esteem and confidence. Those into show biz feel it is an unavoidable necessity without which it is becoming increasingly difficult to compete and survive in the world of skin deep glamour. Puritans are however of the opinion that Cosmetic Plastic Surgery should be confined to medical necessities where the life and health of an individual is seriously hampered. Unnecessary tampering with the human body could lead to dangerous consequences in terms of severe and permanent damage to organs and tissues, leaving the person physically and psychologically maimed.

The Final Decree

In the ultimate analysis, is the pain worth the uncertain or rather temporary outcome, Would it not be more prudent to accept ourselves as God has made us, in the faith that the almighty has a method to his madness and has defined a role for all of us in exactly the way he made us appear? Are external appearances so important to our well being and existence? Though surveys have proved that a good looker stands better chances to success and promotions in today’s competitive world, good looks are not the be all and end all to achievement. A lot depends on a man’s internal charisma too and this can very well be developed without having to submit to a physical makeover. We do have a responsibility to look good, be well groomed and do whatever is necessary to enhance our self esteem, keeping well within the dictates of our conscience and the constraints of our wallets.
