Cosmetic Surgery

It's not just dieting and lack of eating thats got everyone going, because now cosmetic surgery would be ruled in as an option for easy weight loss or jst to make an "improvement" to one's appearance.

51% of young women would have plastic surgery to improve their looks, a survey discovered. the most common surgical procedure for women is breast implants, with liposuction as a close second. The figures for breast augmentation have risen by 50% the last year alone! From 1997-2003, cosmetic surgery had increased by a whopping 299%.

Ok, so most people have something about their body which they don't like, but why such drastic changes? In the survey carried out by the BBC, half of the women questioned said there was "lots they would change" about their bodies - and more than 10% "hated" what they looked like.

I personally feel that the opposite sex plays an important part in how we view ourselevs and what we'd like to look like. Many women would feel that men would go for someone with bigger boobs than an A or a B cup, and the only way to go bigger is through surgery. But is this what men really want? When i asked my friends, they said that they would prefer their girlfriend to have natural boobs, as the plastic ones would be too, well, plastic. However, the next remark was always the same: if it made them happy then i wouldn't have a problem with it.

But is cosmetic surgery really enough to make you a happier person?
