Plastic Surgery Gone Wrong

This week, I read a post about plastic surgery gone wrong. This is the link:

This post talks about plastic surgery women did in Hollywood. This reading refers to common Hollywood stars that had plastic surgery in order to look beautiful and attractive. However, this attempt to become beautiful has backfired and instead of looking beautiful, the women look unnatural and very artificial than before. The post not only talks about facial plastic surgery, but also physical surgery such as boob implants and butt surgeries. Also, the post demonstrates pictures of these women in order to emphasize how the surgery has gone wrong and how women look somewhat out of place.

Even before I read this post, the blog’s title attracted me to read it. This blog post made me think about the rather ironical behaviors of women. It is very rather sad to see women try to look beautiful and fail to do so. Women are very pressured by society to look beautiful and physically fit. But then a question to ask to ourselves is: who is all this effort for? Many women claim that as they become beautiful and attractive, they gain more attention from society and men. Hence, women go through all this pain just to be more accepted by society. This is a very big issue in society because as they are pressured, women are pushed to do plastic surgeries and spend money in order to look beautiful. Also, as women are expected to look beautiful, the standards of men also increase. Therefore, the differences between gender increases even more, creating a gap that cannot be easily reduced.
