Hello Interloper!

Again, why is it important to the consumer whether a star’s good looks are the result of sunscreen, genetics, or a facelift? Answer: Our society wants to live in a dream world.
We (and I use that term loosely, as I reject this view) are a group of raving lunatics, irrationally soothed by the fairy tale that our on-screen heroes are naturally ageless.
Plus, it’s fun to cut down on those who make different personal choices than you. It feels so good to be superior.
Yet, despite each famous beauty claiming ignorance of Botox (“BoTEX? BoTAX? Nope, never heard of it.”) cosmetic surgery is not a growing industry because everyone hates it, and only the emotionally unstable choose it.
Nay; cosmetic surgery flourishes because, for many, it’s awesome.
Nobody who has made the choice to undergo cosmetic surgery will tell you it solved all their problems.
But more often than not, a patient will tell you how it has been a boost to their self-image, confidence, and possibly their marriage. Very often will patients who suffered severe burns, scars or deformities tell you that cosmetic surgery was a life-changing event. But don’t tell that to the masses, the last thing we need is widespread understanding and respect for others.
