I've decided to propose a question to all the devout plastic surgery blog readers. Does cosmetic surgery equate to success? Many people, women more specifically, feel that having the financial means to get cosmetic enhancement procedures means they are successful in the workforce. Likewise many women (and men) use plastic surgery procedures and beauty to get further in the workforce. Should these two things go hand-in-hand? Why has our workforce, pre and post financial crisis, gone mad for beauty? Has society lost its grip on reality? Some would say yes, due in part to the fact that so many of us are beauty-crazed and obsessed with image.
Just yesterday the women with the largest breast implants (after 18 rounds of surgery) came out and spoke to the media. And roughly one month ago we reported on the Korean woman so obsessed with plastic surgery that when her rights to surgery were revoked she injected cooking oil into her skin, causing serious deformations. Maybe surgery and success don't make the perfect equation.
