A recent article in
the LA Times examines good and bad plastic surgery. While good cosmetic surgery
can make you look young and fresh, there are also those who fall victim to
bad cosmetic surgery.
Sure, some people will tout the virtues of
self-acceptance and aging gracefully and lament that the rise of cosmetic
procedures (including fillers, Botox and the like) signifies the swift decline
of civilization. But in reality, as long as people see a benefit — be it in
their work, personal or sex lives — from looking younger or correcting
perceived flaws, plastic surgery will continue to be a solution. According to
statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 13,828,726 cosmetic
procedures — including the minimally invasive as well as the surgical — were
done in the U.S. last year. That's a 5% increase over 2010.
But sometimes plastic surgery doesn't make a
person look younger or more beautiful (an arguably subjective word). It can instead
just make the person look, well, weird. For instance, Olympic champion Bruce
Jenner, patriarch of the Kardashian clan, famously had the results of a
mid-1980s facelift corrected in 2009 after years of unkind commentary.
Mickey Rourke Janice Dickenson, Dolly Parton, Priscilla Presley and, of
course, Michael Jackson and Joan Rivers also represent extreme
transformations.
