And as said on the American Society of Plastic Surgeon's website, "In general cosmetic surgery is performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient's appearance and self-esteem. Reconstructive surgery is performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. It is generally performed to improve functions, but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance." Most surgeries that are performed are cosmetic, because many people find things wrong with themselves and want to change them. And over the years, plastic surgery faced criticisms but gained popularity slowly but surely especially among celebrities. .
For ages, celebrities have been the best looking people of the population. With new technologies and advancements, celebrities now have the power at their fingers to make themselves look improved and more youthful. To keep their popularity, celebrities need to go with the flow and get plastic surgery to perfect their image. Even if it is a nose job here or a face lift there, a person can tell if they have had something done and people don't criticize them for getting it done. Plastic surgery isn't always a bad thing. Some people really need the operation. But when celebrities just get the urge to tuck that or nip this it shows that they are vain. On ABCNEWS.com, they had an article on celebrities who have had plastic surgery, A quote in the article really stood out to what the population believes, "Out here, everybody's beautiful and, you know, a lot of people pay for it," says Leigh Ann Spence, 28, a former Denver Broncos cheerleader who now works as a financial analyst in North Hollywood, Calif. "Especially in a town like Los Angeles, it's all about how you look." They may need the surgery to prolong their career, but they cannot just disregard how God made them.
