COSMETIC SURGERY

These days, more and more people are getting obsessed with their appearance. They get too concerned about their looks that some even seek the help of cosmetic surgeons. Especially in South Korea. South Korea is known for being the “Plastic Surgery Capital of the World”. It has the highest rate of cosmetic surgeries in the world. Even among men, the pressure to look good is immense in their country. There are many reasons why people want cosmetic surgery.

But first, What is a Cosmetic Surgery? Cosmetic surgery is a procedure that is performed on normal parts of the body improving a personal appearance and removing signs of aging. During this procedure, it has many side effects. In psychological disorder like Body dysmorphic disorder where in this disorder plays a large role when it comes to cosmetic surgery. The goal of the cosmetic surgery is to improve the physical appearance.

But, Cosmetic surgery is  really dangerous and it’s also very risky. Nerve damage, infections, blood clots, and, rarely, death can be experienced by someone who has done or who is going to have a cosmetic surgery. Those people who do the cosmetic surgeries in our time they might feel satisfied, but you never know maybe after some years they would get a physical problem. And also, It’s pricey. Surgical procedures don’t come cheap. And Lastly, It can be addictive. Once you’ve done it, there is a possibility that you won’t stop. If the patient will have the surgery for a reasonable purpose like medical purposes then go, but if not No. So for us, We disagree with Cosmetic Surgery. But, We agree with Natural Beauty.

There are many ways on taking care of ourselves. Just by becoming positive. Positivity or being optimistic reflects to yourself, in inner and outer ways. Having positivity can also make you look blooming and younger. Exercises.When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. It releases the toxins in our body. Also by eating healthy and nutritious food. Most people who do surgeries are for their fats, so we think replacing the unwanted fats with healthy foods would be much better. And Lastly taking care of ourselves. Doing facials are better than having a cosmetic surgery.

Still, different people have different ideas about what is beautiful. And In our opinion, mental thought is more important than physical appearance. Whatever we have , we should be happy for that. Physical appearance is not everything, if we have good character and personality, I think we can get a better life and obtain respect from other people. And always remember that, God is the one who gave this look to us, so we should love and be happy about it.
