In the United States, we've long had an obsession with being beautiful. From the time that we are little, we play with perfect dolls, read teen magazines with beautiful models and watch beautiful women on tv. We now live in an age when any perceived "flaw" can be changed. We also live in an age in which the women that we see in magazines are photoshopped to beauty standards that are unattainable for even the women in the photos.
I'm not knocking people who go in and get plastic surgery. I think that if there is something that you don't like about yourself and you have the power to change it, by all means, do it. I do, however, think that a lot of surgeons are irresponsible in who they are treating. I think that the pre-op consultation should come with a psych evaluation.
Here's the thing... A plastic surgeon's job is to help you be the best version of you that you can be. It is not to turn you into someone else. Not even the most skilled surgeon can make you look like Megan Fox unless you've already got similar bone structure. If you get too much surgery, you end up looking weird and plastic-y. And don't we all agree that natural beauty is much more appealing?
Think about it.
