Cosmetic Surgery: The Cure for Low Self- Esteem? Or are the Risks too r

Cosmetic surgery has been around for decades. As the years went by, new procedures came to surface as well as new surgical tools. The procedures that surfaced became attention grabbing from many people. New and improved procedures and equipment came as more years went by and it grabbed more attention to more people. But is cosmetic surgery the answer to a person with low self esteem? The first American Plastic Surgeon was John Peter Mettauer. He performed the first cleft palate in 1827 with surgical instruments that he designed himself. However, since 2000 BC reconstructive surgery techniques was being carried out in India. A man by the name of Joseph Constantine Carpue performed the first major surgery in the Western World by 1815. The internet carries a lot of information on cosmetic surgery along with many doctors, specialists, etc, that writes their opinions and/or professional insights on cosmetic surgery. Some people wrote that in most cases it will and in some it won’t. I think it just completely depends on how bad ones self esteem is, meaning how low it is. I do agree that the performing Doctor should do a low self esteem test on all their patients before going into such body alterations. If they should come across a person that is with low to very low self esteem they really should explain to the person exactly what to expect with the procedure that is chosen. Being very sensitive and not leaving out any surprises. The Doctor should also consider asking the patient if they would want a second opinion they should very much get one, in fact I think that the Doctor should insist that the person obtains a second opinion. This is because it may just ease everyone’s minds. If for some reason that the procedure turne... ...g the perfect body is what many people think will get them far, so what is their answer? Cosmetic surgery, but do they even care about the risks that are involved, maybe and maybe not. Here in the present technology is booming with equipment that is unbelievable and may make any person think they would be safer during surgery now compared to back in the days, this may be true, however what they really need to think of is, will having a cosmetic surgery procedure be what really will make me happy and go as far as I want to?
