Plastic Surgery

[Ghazala]

Noone can ignore the growth of the industry. Society is so obsessed with appearance now & it is hard for people to ignore the images thrown at us by the media. There have been many programmes documenting peoples journeys from 'plain' to 'beautiful'. Like many, Ive been glued to the tv watching programmes like Extreme Makeover & the Swan.

Putting aside religious considerations, what do people think about plastic surgery? If we are so unhappy with our appearance, is it so bad to have these procedures done if they improve our confidence?

As you said, we're a generation obsessed with appearance. I don't see any harm in improving ones appearance through surgery, but as we've seen it more often than not becomes an addiction. The individual never seems satsified. So perhaps it's less to do with the physical side of things and more about the mental??

Having said that, I've a list as long as my arm of things I'd love to change if I could lol

Here is one serious addict:

Audu billah minash shaitaanir rajeem! It's kinda sad actually....what possessed her to mess wiht her face in the first place? She was quite attractive, nothing wrong with her. That's a case of more money than sense!

Well, its like you said - it becomes an addiction. I dont think she needed to mess with her face & now she must cry when she looks in the mirror. Allah yester

Does she though? In her mind her perception of herself is so distorted she probably feels relatively content at who she has become, although evidently not satisfied or else she wouldnt keep having the surgery

I believe that plastic surgery is like a fruit machine it's tempting you may think you would win but the reality it's nothing other illusion you are always a looser because you would try to get better and better. The reality with any plastic surgery is that it's not a physical improvemenet, it's far deaper than that it's about inner happiness that suffers from and no money on this planet would change that unless that person discover that happiness.
I don't understand why a women would spend 3000$ for breast transplant and 10 years later go spend 8000$ to remove them ?????? wierd
A sick woman at work went to hospital and spend so much money to have a surgery done on her private part to keep her sex life alife so she claims and it failed and was ok afterwards now 5 months later she is more miserable than before and was telling people that she has spit up again with her boyfriend No: allah knews best and she is single again and is wanting to go for another plastic transplant. i hate to say this but she looks like an ugly dole
