Shortly after the horrific death of Donda West, son Kanye West appeared on the Dr. Phil show to discuss the risks of getting plastic surgery. Donda died the following day after a tummy tuck and breast reduction surgery. Her plastic surgeon, Dr. Jan Adams is to blame. In another case, young Lori also went under the knife of Dr. Jan Adams and also appeared on the Dr. Phil show after a frantic experience. In Lori’s case, she wanted to fix one implanted breast because it was unusually saggier than her other breast. Dr. Adams knew what needed to be done to correct the problem. However, that’s not exactly what happened. Following the surgery, Lori experienced a terrible pain, and noticed that her chest had been greatly damaged. She also noticed that her left breast was much bigger than her right. When Lori confronted Dr. Adams about her problems he just looked at her and laughed. After seven long years of excruciating pain, Lori finally went to see another doctor to have the surgery redone. During the surgery, the doctor realized that there was something in Lori’s breast that was foreign because as he was cutting, his tool started smoking and the smell was horrific. Lori’s doctor found a piece of a sponge left behind from Dr. Adams surgery seven years ago, and the horrid smell was due to an infection that has increased greatly over time. Luckily, the infection hadn’t yet been life threatening. There are many risks of getting plastic surgery, especially when it is performed in other countries.

Joseph merrick had a very hard childhood with his worsening condition and the death of loved ones. Merrick was born on August 5, 1862 to his mother, Mary Jane Merrick, and his Father, Joseph Rockley Merrick. At this time they lived in a small townhouse located in Leicester, England. When Mary gave birth to Joseph, she noticed no fault in her perfect newborn. However, this joy Mary felt wouldn’t be long-lived, for her son would begin to grow grotesquely deformed, with each year of his life showing an increase of distortion and affliction. When Joseph was 21 months old, Mary noticed a significant lump on his lower lip. Over the next few months, this swelling increased in size and started to spread into his right cheek as a hard tumor, pushing his upper lip outward. Next came a bony lump on his forehead, which also increased in size as he aged. Over the years, his skin became loose and rough. The proportion of his extremities were becoming marred by enlargements of the right arm and each of his feet. One of the most bizarre distortions that was afflicting Merrick was the large mass of flesh that continued to force its way from under the upper lip. Eventually, it was ...

Amber Tamblyn, 21: "Women need to learn to love themselves. The obsession with cutting your face open and resizing it is very masochistic," says Tamblyn. "It's a deep wound that Hollywood created with the reinventing of women. I think men are afraid of women—that's why they tell them to get facelifts.”
Some people’s obsession with plastic surgery is obviously getting out of control. It starts with only getting one thing fixed or corrected but then quickly escalates and before you know it, a face that once was all-flesh turns into plastic. According to a study conducted by Nigel Mercer (2009), “The number of official cosmetic surgeries has more than tripled to 34,000 since 2003”. The two reasons why plastic surgery should be banned are because of its high health risks, and because of the additional pressure it puts on people to look picture-perfect.
Children love to draw even if that’s drawing on the wall of their home or creating a masterpiece on the table. If they are not satisfied with their drawing they can modify it and make it better to their extent. Plastic surgery is just that. It is changing or modifying the way someone looked for different reasons. Dating back to ancient times and its most basic form, plastic surgery has been apart of the world for many centuries (Kalantar-Hormozi, 2013). Since then it has advanced enormously and in society today any part of the body can be manipulated. Plastic surgery also called cosmetic or reconstructive surgery is acceptable for bullied victims, weight loss successors and accident survivors that undergo this ancient practice to better themselves

According to research, various researchers in the past have shown and done many studies on the effect of low self-esteem and bullying on plastic surgery patients. People that go through plastic surgery must have a reason as to why they want plastic surgery (Gimlin 2002). Plastic surgery is something that is permanent and is something to think about before getting. Researchers have focused on women who had plastic surgery and if they were victims of low self esteem and bullying (Brito 2010; Kinnuen 2010; Veiga 2010; Collins 2012). This is due to the reason that women are the dominant population that gets plastic surgery. Although most research focus on women, many research also focuses on adolescents and men that get plastic surgery because
Cosmetic surgery has a risk of infection just like other surgeries. One of the common locations of the infection is along the incision. Not only in incisions, bladders and sinus also can be infected. The cause is because the immune system weakens when trying to heal the body from surgery. When a cosmetic surgery takes place, it involves manipulating nerves. Nerves are very sensitive and damage can be severe. Severe nerve damage can render parts of the body useless. And also, leaking silicone breast implants can lead to death. The silicone gel from the breast can go to other parts of the body such as the lungs, where it could be impossible to remove. One study found that women who had breast implants for at least eight years were twice as likely to die from brain cancer and three times as likely to die from lung cancer or other respiratory
Heidi Moore, addicted to plastic surgery, racked up $200,000 in debt. Ever since Moore was raped at the age of 16 by two men, she has been trying to erase herself and cosmetic surgery is the only path for her to follow. Before each surgery, says Moore, “I always thought when I wake up, I would not me myself. When the anesthesia lifted, she was herself but with a new chin and bigger breasts. Moore ran $200,000 in debt through plastic surgery. Still, Moore would like one final surgery. "I want my breasts made smaller. I hate them. I got them bigger so people would look at them. Now I want people to see who I am”, said Moore. Because attractiveness has distinct advantages in our community, more people want to do plastic surgery in order to survive in the society. Today’s social media pushes people toward plastic surgery, which is a problem because it has a negative influence on society, ill effect on our bodies and high expense.
