Western Society is obsessed with face and body images. In order to chase unattainable ideals, numbers of patients have non-surgical or surgical facelift, or liposuction, or breast augmentation.There is a shocking statistics.Just look at it! 12,5 billion is the amount of money Americans spent on cosmetic procedures in 2004! 11,5 million cosmetic procedures were performed in 2006, 446% since 1995!In Canada, non-surgical facelift grew to 17,628 patients in 2003!Women are seeking 85,5% of all cosmetic procedures.(PlasticSurgeryStatistic.com)
My reaction to these facts is a suggestion to make plastic surgery mandatory for women.
I think, it is quite logical! Of course, it is not absolutely safe. Like any other medical procedures or medications, cosmetic procedures might have side effects. For example,injections of Botox might cause pneumonia and dificulty swalloing or even deaths(The NY Times,"For Botox Users, a Few Words of Caution" by Jane E.Brody).
But facelift can enhance self-esteem,thus,increase women's productivity as co-workers or help them carry social roles as mothers or wives.
Another advantage of plastic surgery that is not required a lot of time. Patients can spend just several hours in operation rooms for liposuction or augmentation of breast instead of hours and hours in gyms.
Sometimes there is uncomfortable feelings after non-surgical or surgical facelift: patiens cannot smile, or their smile looks artificial. It is nothing to compairason with comfort for society(mostly for men!) to not see wrinkles or other signs of aging.If it is important to keep their men(husbands) beside, women can sacrifice some coziness to their bigger mission.Thus, the rate of divorces can be decreased thanks to plastic surgery.
Go ahead to the universal "plastic" beauty and happiness!

I agree that plastic surgery is ridiculous when it is done only for cosmetic purposes. Besides, there is nothing more beautiful in an older woman than the crinkles by her eyes revealing how she has laughed in life!
