Beauty can be painful to achieve and maintaining it can also be a pain to have. Pain? What does that mean? Maybe it's the physical kind, where you spend thousands to get that perfect nose or jawline. The price of perfection, found in beauty, is higher than ever, and many are turning to cosmetic surgery to look good. Nowadays, it is not only women who take care of themselves, men, children, adolescents and even animals. Cosmetic surgery changes a person's true beauty, although there are times when it is the only way the world can give them a chance at being normal. Once you begin the journey of replacing your body with something that others will think is more attractive, you begin to get lost in a never-ending battle between what you should and what you shouldn't. “It’s hard not to get addicted” in this society that operates for everything you want to fix. There's otoplasty for those with Dumbo ears, rhinoplasty for noses like Mount Everest. For men, there is male breast reduction, fat injections and lip expansions. For women, they do the whole package, eyelids, breasts, nose, lips, body fat, etc. New surgical procedures are being added and performed, it's an ever-growing library, the cosmetic sector is growing. According to a recent statistic, almost a third of patients have already undergone facial reconstruction. For women, it has become so exaggerated that one surgeon said: "I know many women whose husbands have never seen them naked. I know women who never go to the doctor because they don't want to not be seen by them." So, finally, they offer themselves to the surgeon for body aesthetic work, and transform themselves. They can be seen, held, admired. Little by little, we all become movie stars – framed internally by a camera ...... middle of paper ...... with natural curves and lines. There are different types of surgeries and each has its distinct consequences. Beauty is inherently painful to have and painful to achieve.BibliographyBlum, Virginia L.
