New Faces, Made to Order

Plastic surgery is a personal decision, even for the rich and famous

Plastic surgery seems to be the cure for all the ugly parts our cre­ator gave us.

Everyone has their own opin­ion about these cos­metic pro­ce­dures; how­ever, most peo­ple are agree­ing that real­ity star Heidi Montag went too far.

The 23-year-old Hills star had 10 pro­ce­dures in one day. According to the Insider’s web­site, these pro­ce­dures include: a mini brow lift, Botox injec­tions in the fore­head and frown areas, a nose job revi­sion, fat injec­tions in the cheeks, nasolabial folds and lips, a chin reduc­tion, neck lipo­suc­tion, pin­ning back of the ears, a breast aug­men­ta­tion revi­sion, lipo­suc­tion on waist, hips and outer thighs and, finally, a but­tock aug­men­ta­tion. Holy crap, that is a lot of stuff!

Even though these surg­eries seem unnec­es­sary and extreme because Montag was pretty hot before going under the knife, I believe that she is enti­tled to do what­ever she wants with her body and money.

Most peo­ple say they would never get plas­tic surgery, but I think that claim is a bit untrue. I believe that most peo­ple at their cur­rent income would not pay for cos­metic surgery, but if they had loads of cash, I think the story might be dif­fer­ent. I would get lipo­suc­tion quick, fast and in a hurry if I had the money.  Diets suck, and if I could get rid of my muf­fin top with­out run­ning or giv­ing up cheese­burg­ers, I would!

Everyone has some­thing about them­selves they do not like and if they could change it with a magic wand, they would. For some peo­ple, that magic wand is a sur­gi­cal knife. People want to be beau­ti­ful and feel good about them­selves. Most of the time people’s self-esteem and con­fi­dence comes from look­ing phys­i­cally beau­ti­ful or pleas­ing to them­selves and oth­ers. I am not say­ing that look­ing like a Barbie doll is the only way to be happy or beau­ti­ful, but if look­ing that way is what makes a per­son happy then oth­ers should not pass judgment.

Many peo­ple have cos­metic pro­ce­dures. Not every­one that has surgery has to come out look­ing like a man­nequin. Even celebri­ties we give a crap about like Demi Moore, Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker have had surgery. There is noth­ing wrong with fix­ing unde­sir­able parts about our bod­ies. Some peo­ple get nose jobs while oth­ers cre­ate an entirely dif­fer­ent per­son. The choice is theirs.

Sure, some peo­ple like Joan Rivers and Janice Dickinson take plas­tic surgery too far. People try to fight aging with Botox and chem­i­cal peels. The truth is that no one can stop aging because there is no way to put the brakes on time. People are going to look old whether they want to or not. Having the choice to try and cheat Father Time is not wrong. Besides, peo­ple who get plas­tic surgery are the only ones who have to live with the out­come, be it good or bad.

Plastic surgery does not solve every­thing. If a per­son does not like them­selves before the surgery and has low self-esteem, chances are they still will not like what they see in the mir­ror. Regardless of that fact, peo­ple should be allowed to do as they please. It is no one else’s busi­ness how oth­ers spend their money or feel about their looks. Heidi Montag very well may become the next Cher and never age. And although plas­tic surgery is often extreme, what goes on in the oper­at­ing room is no one else’s business. ν
