Desensitization

In the US plastic surgery has become so common, everyone has had surgical work done, celebrities can no longer hide it. Have we driven Americans to become desensitized to the price of beauty and plastic surgery? Is it becoming a necessity to have a nip and a tuck?

During my year overseas living in Australia, I have realized the difference in our plastic and cosmetic driven culture from other western nations. Australia is the US circa 1960s - pure, wholesome, and less enthralled and enthused with plastic surgery. However, the beauty bug is about to bite the Aussies as hard as it did the Americans, Londoners, Argentinians and Brazilians. Sydneysiders are falling head over heels for cosmetic enhancements like breast augmentations, nose-jobs, and even dare I say derriere 'bum' lifts.

In a country fixed on the foundations of being laid back and have no worries, where people chop all their words down and simplify them, will the plastic surgery industry boom with citizens like their northern hemisphere counterparts? We'll just have to wait and see. For now, no worries mate.
