Cosmetic Surgery Addiction An Alarming and Rising Phenomenon
Kelly Behrens asked:
Cosmetic surgery addiction is the latest jargon coined by the lifestyle and beauty magazine pundits, but it does reflect an emerging social trend that has taken the affluent western society by storm. The desire to look beautiful reigns supreme in the minds of most individuals of either *** and beauty or at least physical beauty has been worshipped down the ages. We all know of the legendary beauty of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra who could make Caesar and Mark Antony dance to her tunes by eclipsing their normal judgment with her dazzling and ravishing physical charm.
We all know of Narcissus who fell in love with his own beautiful reflection of his visage in the water. Hollywood heartthrobs are treated as demi gods and goddesses, mainly because of their physical beauty. And it is the dream of every common woman or lesser mortal to possess the good looks of the likes of Sophia Loren or Audrey Hepburn or Nicole Kidman or Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon or Catherine Zeta Jones.
Make up and hair styling can offer only a temporary solution. But the most permanent way in which you can bring about a dramatic change in your appearance is through aesthetic or cosmetic surgery. Medical science has improved by leaps and bounds and through cosmetic surgery it is possible to give a complete and permanent makeover to your entire body and transform you from a plain Jane to a **** diva.
In fact, 99% of the Hollywood stars opt for more than 2 or 3 cosmetic surgeries at an average in their lifetime to improve their looks. And this trend has trickled down to the upper middle class sects who have the means to afford these surgeries. And with some women, and even some men, who are obsessed with the way they look, aesthetic surgery has grown from a necessity to a cosmetic surgery addiction.
Partly this obsession with cosmetic surgery or cosmetic surgery addiction has its roots in the psychological makeup of the individual who has opted for it. There are many people who suffer from an inferiority complex because of the way they look or rather, to be honest, suffer from false or flawed perceptions about their looks. It is under this misconception and spurred by the desire to look attractive that they develop a cosmetic surgery addiction, whereas in reality, these people might be quite good looking or average looking.
You would be surprised to know that ****** augmentation with implants surgery which is the second most popular aesthetic surgery among women are usually opted for by individuals who have a previous history of psycho pathological disorder or psychiatric hospitalization, as shown by a Danish study.
There is a higher rate of suicide, death, alcohol abuse, substance abuse and drug addiction among women who undergo ****** implant surgery and this has been proved conclusively through medical research.
Generally, cosmetic surgery addiction arises out of lack of self esteem and lack of self confidence or out of frustration with oneself. Many aspiring starlets or wannabe models and movie stars are forced to beautify themselves through multiple surgeries like ****** enhancement, rhinoplasty, botox, brow lift, jaw line reconstruction, minor eye lift, body contouring, liposuction etc. Television shows like Doctor 90210, Extreme Makeover, The Swan and Vanity Insanity are also responsible for this sudden spurt in cosmetic surgery addiction.
