Re constructive procedures correct deformities on the face or body.

Sometimes people just judge a book by its cover without knowing the real story. Don't you think it's unfair for one to despise them without even knowing the truth?

I don't how this is unfair. So what if one have medical reasons or not? They still did plastic surgery because of the same reason - they want to look better. THey can also choose to retain their looks and not undergoing plastic surgeries too. Hence, I don't see how this is unfair. Does appearances actually matter?

I think that it is quite unfair. This can hurt one's feelings as they did plstic surgery because they have to or not they will look really bad for the rest of their life.

I think in the working industry and in this society, appearances do matter. First impression is usually the one that stays in the mind forever. Also, good-looking appearance is one that will remain in one's mind.

Does cosmetic surgery really helps to increase one's self esteem?
ReplyDelete-Xiang Ting
Yes, it does. By improving one's appearances, it gives one more confidence as they would feel good in the inside and the outside.

No, it does not help. Although it makes one look prettier, one can gain criticisms more easily than compliments. This will only cause the opposite response, which is that the self esteem will be lowered.
