Can You Really Be Addicted To Cosmetic Surgery?

Can You Really Be Addicted To Cosmetic Surgery?

Ben Shaffer

The unfortunate truth is that there are hundreds of people all across the world who end up addicted to cosmetic surgery and various short procedures having to do with their appearance. The addictions will range from slight to severe, however they do still exist. In order to see some of the cosmetic surgery addictions, you do not have to look far. You can simply look at some of the celebrities in American culture to see just how ridiculous their taste for beauty can be. In addition to that, there are even a number of horror stories that will be shown on television of people who are going in for procedure after procedure, leaving their bodies as well as their faces with unreal effects.

Michael Jackson is always the butt of many jokes to come out of the gossip rags as well as the news media. One of the things that he happens to be known for is his thirst for plastic surgery. You can see how over the years he has literally transformed into a completely different person. While nobody can really tell how many cosmetic procedures he has had besides Jackson himself, many experts will say that it seems to range anywhere from forty to fifty procedures or more. Obvious side effects from this amount of surgery will include loss of facial structure, plastic-like features and of course weak cartilage in the nose and overworked skin on the face.

Parents of young girls who are looking to have certain kinds of plastic or cosmetic surgery performed are encouraged to help teach them the difference between necessity and want. After all, an addiction can only get worse over time when it starts at a younger age. By teaching them to love themselves, perhaps with the occasional slight procedure while being monitored by certified cosmetic surgeons, they will have less of a chance of becoming addicted to the lifestyle that can lead to so many issues down the road.

Plastic and cosmetic surgery, when done in moderation can be quite a self-esteem booster.
