 An increasing number of people choose to have cosmetic surgery in order to improve their appearance. Why do people want to change the way they look? Is it a positive or negative development?

Reasons 

• Every human has a propensity to look younger and attractive 

• The contemporary social norms entail sustaining appearance 

• Professional requirements push people to resort to this 

• Deformities due to accidents or which have been their right from birth are a major cause 

Positives 

• People feel happy about their appearance and its makes them feel enthusiastic about life - they stay from depression and pervert thoughts of seeking vengeance from others 

• This can help them to lead a life with ease and overcome impairments

• Fills them up with with confidence to face the world and strive for success 

• Indirectly helping creating a new field of employment and research and creating hope for far greater outcome

• 
  

Negatives 

• expensive : can cost people a huge money 

• Creating a kind of competition among people: everyone wants to jump  in the band wagon 

• Obsession: making people addicted to such surgeries 

• They are exposed to severe menace of death and disabilities   

Of late, a new phenomenon has been making its presence felt, the surgical procedures carried out to enhance the outlook and personality. This inclination can be attributed to several reasons, but one must remember it is populated by both favourable and unfavourable impacts.

Humans have always harboured a desire to look younger and attractive. This propensity is bolstered/buttressed/augmented by the availability of the interventions that can help people attain their goals of desirable appearance. Nevertheless, subjecting oneself to surgery to achieve exposes one to umpteen/myriad benefits and pitfalls. 

Nowadays, an ever rising number of people are choosing to go under the knife in order to augment their appearance. This new found craving has although numerous benefits, it will be too naive to overlook the failings of this. 

To start with, the most prominent reason for individuals opting to seek  cosmetic intervention is their desire to retain their young looks, enhance their facial facade and other physical attributes, and to get rid of deformities - that may be right from the birth, or a result of a mishap.There is a general perception that to remain socially acceptable one must sustain their appearance since a majority are attracted towards the personalities that sport well proportioned physique and an appealing face.

This tendency has, as per several social theorists, helped drive in myriad benefits. After receiving cosmetic treatments, people do not feel ashamed of their looks, and instead are filled with optimism, helping them evade mental trauma and also pervert thoughts of seeking revenge on others. Similarly, this positivity raises self esteem of individuals and encourages them to go and face the outer world more confidently and meaningfully. 

However, an army of people is quite concerned about the menacing influence of this vogue/latest fad. It is exposing the cosmetic surgery enthusiasts to not only extremely expensive surgical dispensions and post surgery follow-ups, which have a potential to create financial constraints, but also severe complications that can have fatal outcomes if the body refuses to cope with physiological alterations and additions. 

In hindsight, despite valid reasons for cosmetic treatment being quoted by several people, I am unconvinced that the advantages brought forth by seeking such interventions can effectively eclipse the detrimental impacts one becomes vulnerable to, such as financial burden and health hazards of severe nature.
