We are all beautiful. Rather we accept that fact or not maybe one of our faith's biggest conundrums and with the decent of plastic surgery going from correcting visible issues to right out vanity, goes to show you how we are not pleased with what given to gave us.

Imagine being one of the world's highest paid supermodels. A beautiful soap actress. Heck even just a barista who curiously goes in for a consultation and told that I can fix your nose and those heavy under eye bags and then takes a marker and decides to play beauty beholder.

Self-worth is now in someone else's hands. Your value has now been depleted and you want it raised to an even higher lever then it was before, and you are either shown videos, slides and given pamphlets that will now be the highlight of your six months back and forth between a very emotional decision.

We all have the right to choose and if you are not in a horrible accident or born with certain defect that can be corrected then plastic surgery is either an economic exchange so that you can obtain a promotion, it was recommended, or you are going for any other valuable reason then you must be aware that even the best possible outcome does still have the chance to be the complete opposite.

Suing someone for not obtaining the outcome you knew still had a chance to happen seems to be just the next step down this path instead of just accepting that there was always a possibility that it could happen. Side effects are a part of any medications. procedures and maybe just in all aspects of life itself. If I chose to buy a used car the side effect being that I will now have to maintain this car more than I would have a new one.

Going under the knife does not come with a guarantee. Love doesn't either. Love of self seems to have one because then you will accept yourself as you accept others. I have nothing against plastic surgery what I am against is the blame game when it doesn't go your way.

Granted, from time to time I read the chunk of paperwork that seems to come with all medications that make you glad none of that has happened to me but still knowing that it could; we have all seen those commercials where the side effects seem to make us wonder why are we taking the medications to begin with? But we continue to do so and for the most part we never face the most extreme effects that await some of us.

Maybe that is the opioid crisis aftershocks. In other words, OxyContin seemed to lie about the facts that the side effect was addiction in most cases.

Now the drug companies report to consumers in ways that are straight up bewildering because no one wants to have leaky bowel syndrome just as much as anyone doesn't want to wake up and have a bad face lift of gain even more weight when undergoing cool sculpting.

Plastic surgery is defined as a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. This is a multi-billion-dollar industry in which we assume and even know about those celebrities and non-celebrities who have chosen to restore themselves, but the outcome hasn't just been a restoration they come out looking like entirely different people. That cannot be what they spent their money on and over time like them we just adapt to their new look.

Cosmetic surgery on the other hand is a unique discipline of medicine focused on enhancing appearances through surgical and medical techniques. Example being if someone is disfigured in a motorcycle accident or have a scar on their arm that they are no longer comfortable with, and I would also think that removal of wrinkles would fall under this category,

This concludes the first part of the 2-part series as I will go deeper into the beauty beholder.
