The Pros And Cons Of Non-Medical Cosmetic Surgery

“Beauty lasts five minutes, maybe longer if you have a cosmetic surgeon.”(Tia Carrere) Non-medical cosmetic surgery was initially devised as a noble technique to help patients with disfigured face or body parts. However, as the time elapsed it became merely a look enhancing procedure. Humans started exploiting it just for their personal pleasure and its real motive of resurrecting severe disfigured faces, eventually got replaced by enhancing one’s looks. In present, Non-medical cosmetic surgery has deviated many forms including mammoplasty, buttock augmentation, rhinoplasty, liposuction, cheek augmentation, phalloplasty, blepharoplasty and many more.

This ban can only be achieved with the collaborative effort of Government and society. Government must implement and enforce legislature stating the ban of non-medical cosmetic surgery, and society must accept this referendum without any protests or opposition. I am certain that if non-cosmetic plastic surgery is banned, the modern concept of ‘outer beauty’ will be replaced by more sophisticated concept of ‘inner beauty’ and our future generations wold be more sensible and more moralistic.
