People from ancient times used to think about their appearience. It was always very important. In ancient Egypt women and men used to depilate the hair from all over the body. They were also using a lot of cosmetics made from different kinds od herbs. They were always wearing a make up. It didn't change much through the ages. What really differs now is the fashion and possibilities of medicine.
Nowadays people want to be young and vital and the most of all beautiful. It is said that if you are ugly you can't be happy. The good appearience may help you finding a good job, husband. Some people will do everything to look more attractive. This aspires has caused a development of new branch of medicine - plastic surgery. It is a special branch which only take care of your body. What is amazing you don't need to be ill to go to the clinic and to have an operation, you just need to have a lot of money. If you are rich you may do whatever you want with your body. Your brests can be enlarged, your nose and ears can be reduced in size, and your lips may be enlarged, too. After a short stay in hospital you can be completely changed. Even your fat can be sucked out.
In my opinion the cosmetic operations are great invention and they can help many people. Thanks to them those who had some kinds of birth defects or those who had accidents may be given a new life. It is not easy to live with a scars after burning on all over the face and body and in such situation plastic surgery is something wanted. It may "repair" your face and body so the person can live in society.
Like in all cases there are many advantages and disadvantages of plastic surgery. It may save your life and make it normal. On the other hand it may be the cause of problems for those who want to change everything. We were given our body and we should accept it otherwise we will never be happy.
