I personally see it as a non-issue, but I do agree that in America it's gotten out of control. Sure, people can do what they choose with their money and their bodies, but I think in some cases it's done to please someone else. Again, it's a choice. I'm kinda glad in a way though, because with so many plastic people around me, I'm the one being an individual.

well i just want to stay like i am,as really it is not what you see on the outside ,it is what is inside ,that counts you can make yourself look good but does it really change you as a person.

I don't think anyone would describe me as handsome or ugly if there is such a look as ugly? If it really is all in the eye of the beholder what would I care how someone else views the world? I just can't understand why one would what to change the way they look to please someone else and if they are trying to please themselves that's all in their head not their looks. As your question implies (cosmetic)...however plastic surgery has it's place for people that my have been disfigured by accident fire for one George W Bush for another (Iraq War)etc

From a distance, or at a first glance, someone can look great with cosmetic surgery, but I find the lack of creases when they smile and the limit of emotions they can display with their facial features really unsettling and unattractive. I think we are getting too caught up in the desire to look younger, and even though I try not to let it bother me, sometimes I do feel pressure to look prettier because of the constant media hype about it. I also think it's worse for women because of all the air-brushed pictures in magazines. Men have the good fortune to often grow into their looks as they age, and it's quite acceptable for them to have character-forming wrinkles. I think we need a change of attitude towards ageing, becoming genuniely more appreciative of every stage of life, not just youth.
