I do not see ny thing wrong with plastic surgury that is more corrective of health problems/medical conditions- skin laser resurfacing, breast reduction, breast reconstruction after mastectomy, etc. I do wonder about other types of surgury- breast implants, butt implants, nose jobs, etc. I do not see this as an appreciation of beauty. I do not think beauty is that narrowly defined that the patients were not beautiful before the work. I also think there is a difference between surgury aimed at trying to counter act agng and those about truly changing how you look. The aging stuff is vein but some of the recipients of the other surgury are pathalogical. They had a deepp seeded dislike for thie own form. That is something different to me. And those who become platic surgury junkies having procedure after procedure are really out of control. I do think some of it is a manifestation of self loahing, not necessarily on the basis of race r eing damaged by a white standard of beauty.
