I have a lot of friends who underwent minor surgeries like getting a double lid. Some even tried to persuade me to get one. While I believe people have the freedom to do whatever they want with their bodies, I am worried about how plastic surgeries change our perception of beauty. In China, when you open the television, the actresses all look very similar with big eyes, tall nose and slim jaw. Popular figures on the social media also have very similar looks like they are all following the same template of "beauty", and yet millions of young girls look up to them and wish to be like them. Personally I don't think it is a healthy definition of beauty.

It's a refreshing perspective and I think it makes absolute sense that using technology to achieve and express our desired attributes is a form of art. Using our own bodies as the canvas is something I failed to considered and now, as I come to think about it, shows a huge amount of emotional and physical dedication. After all, reconstructive procedures are arguably permanent and speaks perfection in the will of the artist. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17572665768318227832noreply@blogger.com
