PLASTIC SURGERY

Nowadays a lot of people decide to improve their body with plastic surgery. Moreover people want to be prettier or more handsome and, sometimes, be younger. Now, with the improvement of plastic surgery, it’s possible. But there are some risks too.

Supporters of plastic surgery present four main arguments. In the first place they think that it’s very important to be proud of your own body. If you don’t like your body, you will be depressed and won’t enjoy life. Secondly, we have the best hospitals in Spain. Consequently, plastic surgery is safer than most people think. Another reason is that plastic surgery is important and necessary when somebody has had an accident and needs it. Finally they say that with her or his body they can do whatever they want.

Opponents of plastic surgery offer four counterarguments. Firstly they think that personality is more important than appearance. Secondly, plastic surgery is sometimes dangerous; a lot of people have died because of it. A person’s life is more important than to be prettier or more handsome. Another reason is that plastic surgery is addictive, when you have improved a part of your body you want to do the same with the rest of it, you want to be perfect. Finally it’s very expensive, you have to spend a lot of money, which you can do a lot of more necessary things with, like buy a house.

On balance, I’m not in favour of plastic surgery because I think it’s more important to be proud of your personality, it’s good to be different and natural. In addition, you can be disappointed with the results of plastic surgery or die.
