Reasons for Considering Cosmetic Surgery: Vanity or Necessity
For many people, how they look is a huge part of how they feel about themselves. Feeling beautiful is an integral part of their self-esteem, and they’re willing to go to almost any length to acquire a high level of physical beauty. For others, physical attractiveness is relatively unimportant, and the thought of cosmetic surgery is unattractive or even repulsive. These two groups are often at odds, with one group judging the other as shallow or silly.
But does the desire for cosmetic surgery truly come from vanity, or from necessity?
Cosmetic Surgery from Necessity
For many people, their physical appearance can be painful for them. In today’s society, where a huge importance is placed on physical beauty, a too-large nose or ears that stick out can make a person feel self-conscious or rejected. When a physical flaw or deformity lowers your quality of life, you may see cosmetic surgery as a necessity.
How do you know if your desire for cosmetic surgery stems from reasons of necessity? The first thing to do is look at how that physical flaw affects your life. Do people treat you differently because of some flaw or deformity? Do you look in the mirror every day and hate what you see? Then cosmetic surgery may be a step that will improve your quality of life.
Before undergoing any cosmetic procedure, it’s also important to take a look at your emotional health. If your self esteem is wrapped around your looks or is ruined by just one physical flaw, you may want to talk to a therapist to see about improving your self image from within.
Cosmetic Surgery from Vanity
It is true that many people undergo cosmetic surgery for reasons that seem quite vain. These are generally attractive people who want small procedures to improve their already good looks. A nose job to improve a nose that’s cute, but just a little boring. Lip injections to give them full lips that don’t even suit their face. The list goes on and on.
But the real question is: who has the right to judge? If a person is in a position to pay for what they want to change, why should they be criticized? Sure, for people living different, simpler lives, this sort of behavior seems irresponsible But in certain sects of society, getting cosmetic surgery is as normal as going to the hair stylist.
Yes, it’s true that there are more worthwhile things to spend your time and money on than looks– especially when you’re already good looking. But if something makes a person happy without harming anybody else, there’s no real problem. Even excessive cosmetic surgery is a simply a way to please and indulge oneself, no different than buying a fancy car or decorating the living room.
In the end, it’s important to be happy with who you are. If a person undergoes a large number of cosmetic procedures because of low self-esteem, it means they have bigger problems than their looks. Cosmetic surgery can be a good tool to boost self-esteem and elevate self-image, but shouldn’t be abused or used as a substitute for personal growth.
