Plastic surgery is also often called cosmetic surgery and has become a widespread method to reshape the body and to help to improve the appearance, it includes absolutely different operations starting with abdominoplasty and ending with eyes surgery and face lifting. Besides plastic surgery deals even more vitally important spheres, like for example repair damages caused by some accidents or injuries. It is well promoted and rather expensive but still carriers certain risks, like any other type of operation. For example, patients, who decide to make some dental operations, are put at great risks. People who go through a number of plastic operations are often still not satisfied with the result and start doing other procedures, which is of course not the best way to influence the state of the body: many people, who are overweight turn to special operations, but after the fat is gone they face the problem of lots of hanging skin.
Besides most people who have done it once, will return to these operations again and again, even with the same problem, as they feel constantly not satisfied with the result and are ready to give huge sums of money, which they by the way could have used for some better needs, like really supporting their health. “Plastic surgery junkies need to think about why they keep wanting more work done. Obviously it’s much easier to change your outlook on life than it is to change your external look…” (Rosen Christine, The Democratization of Beauty, 2004, p.2). So this constant seeking for perfection can be considered more of a psychological problem than real problems with appearance. To avoid such result of plastic operations, the doctors are to provide sufficient amount of explanation for the potential patient concerning the results and reasons of this operation. Some may need just a psychological help instead of this operation. And this is of course a task of the society to work out the “rules” for dealing the people, who want to make plastic surgery and do the best to defend the clients of the plastic surgery clinics.
All these is a good basis for the surgeons to build their businesses upon, they can use the week sides of a person, as almost every person feels not absolutely sure about his/her appearance and would love to look better, and earn good money. People are surrounded by advertisements of “absolutely safe” and prestigious methods of changing the appearance. As any other branch of medicine, plastic surgery can have its field for development and application, but there are still certain rules or restrictions to be made about it. From the very beginning there should be a strict division between cases of application of plastic surgery, a person who was burnt or injured as a result of some accident or war or any other conflict has to make such kind of operation under the circumstances, even he doesn’t want to, and a person, who watches too much television and wants to get the same face Britney Spears or Tom Cruise have, chooses to make this operation on his own free will. It is absolutely not right to make these two people pay the same price for the plastic operation.
