Is plastic surgery a new addiction that is being circulated through magazines, endorsed by celebrities? Women around the world are constantly buying into the world of fake.
Whether i'ts buying fake hair, fake nails, fake eyelashes, or going under the knife for fake boobs, or another nose. When is this pandemic of perfection going too far?
A recent example of this is The Hills star, Heidi Montag. Her plastic face has been all over magazines across the world addressing the stars obsession with exploiting plastic surgery. She had ten surgeries in one day, all to improve her body and face. Her reasoning is she wanted to become the ‘best me’ possible.
This had me thinking, is plastic surgery a new addiction or is it something that is becoming widely popular because it is so publicised as an acceptable form of beauty maintenance?
As I sit and write this blog, in my Peter Alexander pjamas, with my hair in remains from last nights creation, and my feet in pain, from the heels I wear, I think about all the imperfections I could change on my body.
I’d love the height of Heidi Klum and a Jennifer Aniston nose but in saying that, I would never consider plastic surgery as an option. What would I tell my future daughters? “Mummy had to transform her face, just so she could feel good about herself”. This shouldn’t be the answer for women with low self-esteem.
Women have the materials to become someone they are not, but the real question is… would you choose to get the ‘Heidi Montag face’ or to live a long and luscious life with a few crows feet.
