Today’s woman has to be perfect at all levels, and nowadays-physical appearance is becoming the level of most importance. Years ago, throwing on a little makeup and putting up your hair contributed in making one beautiful. Women were very natural in their looks and rarely had any augmentations.

Nowadays plastic surgery is something that is fairly easy to receive at any age. Parents are giving their children breast implants as graduation gifts and in some cases the parents are actually encouraging their child’s “enhancements”. A while back, breast enhancements were something that was performed only when breast cancer patients needed to have it.

Now, breast implants are among the top plastic surgery performed, along with liposuction.

What makes today’s society so obsessed with perfection? With the vast amounts of “medium models” from models on the internet to models on magazine covers, each of these men or women portray what we are supposed to look like: perfect. The man or woman is staring at you with their beautiful eyes and flawless bodies as they show off the product being advertised. You oogle at them and wish that you could one day look just like them.

However, what the advertisement does not mention is how much airbrushing and “perfecting” has been done to the model to make them look faultless. When will people learn to be happy with who they are rather than what they look like? Some people spend their whole life searching for the right surgery to make them look perfect, but is it worth spending months or even years of looking? In the end, after all the surgery is done, will it truly make them better than they were before?
