Cosmetic surgery for all

Cosmetic surgery for all

Due to a rapid development in technology, medical procedures for cosmetic purposes have become more and more popular. However, better and easily affordable cosmetic surgical operations have made people discuss whether this should be allowed or not.

On the one hand, it is difficult to draw a line between what is a reasonable medical condition to have access to cosmetic surgery and what is not. As of current regulations, it depends on the person itself. To debate whether governments should restrict people from access to cosmetic surgery seems quite nonsensical. Instead of debating, there is a strong need to educate people to be more aware of the possible consequences that plastic surgery may have. Moreover, it is important to make people consider whether plastic surgery is still really necessary in their cases. If a person decides to have the surgery, the real need of this may become questionable when the surgery is only intended to make person’s appearance to be in better accordance with beauty standards.

On the other hand, prohibiting medical procedures for cosmetic purposes according to the view that people are willing to have it too easily and unreasonably would be very unfair against people who really are in a serious need of surgery. For instance, there are many people who have been burnt by flames in their life. Good examples are firemen who may have saved thousands of lives in their career. Therefore, giving these people access to cosmetic surgery is absolutely justifiable.

In conclusion, although there are people who may want to forbid cosmetic surgeries, I personally find this to be unreasonable. Instead of prohibiting it, we should rather raise peoples’ awareness of cosmetic surgeries and its possible consequences. Hopefully this would make people seriously consider whether having cosmetic surgery is still necessary for their particular condition.
