Plastic Surgery: A Trend Taking Over America
stamina
What is the price to be beautiful? In today’s society many Americans are wildly spending their money to have plastic surgery. This is a trend that is rapidly becoming more popular in America. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) there were almost 11 million plastic surgeries preformed in 2006. In just the past six years, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons states that the amount of plastic surgeries preformed each year has incread by 48 percent (2000/2005/2006 National Pl
astic Surgery Statistics). There are many possible caus to this fast growing trend including affordability, the media’s influence, and growing acceptance, but I believe the most probable cau is the improvement in quality and safety of the procedures. (Thesis statement)
(背景）Plastic surgery first originated as a means of correcting medical problems. Dr. John Peter Mettauer preformed the first plastic surgery in North American history when he operated on a cleft palate in 1827 (History of Plastic Surgery). World War I helped plastic surgery evolve by reconstructing facial wounds and burns on injured soldiers. For the purpo of making money, doctors began to perform the reconstructive surgeries on people without medical conditions to improve their appearances. As time went on the surgeries became more and more popular bringing us to the quickly growing trend that we have today. What could have caud the surgeries to become so popular so quickly? （leads to the caus behind this.）
One possible cau of this trend could be that注意措辞 plastic surgery has become
ene
more affordable. Carrie Stetler of Newhou News states that plastic surgery is now easier to afford, with many surgeons offering financing plans on procedures ranging from $2,000 for a no job to nearly $10,000 for a face-lift (Stetler). Before it was common only for wealthy people to get the surgeries but now that plastic surgery has become more affordable, there are more people from the middle class receiving the surgeries as well. This may have caud a large increa in the amount of people who receive plastic surgery today. Although it makes n, I do not feel that it is the most likely cau of this trend. While I am sure that the decrea in prices has incread the amount of people who have now received plastic surgery, 英语写信格式I do not think that it would have made such a large difference. This cau would have only influenced the middle class Americans to join the trend. Becau of how frequently the numbers of people who receive plastic surgery are growing, I believe that the cau must be something that involves many groups of people.
当然的英文 A cond reason for this growing trend could be that in recent years the media has been very busy pointing out every little flaw that any celebrity might have. By doing t
his, the media has created this “perfect image” that everyone wants to fit into. Celebrities are usually known for being beautiful and many people feel that if they look like them they must be beautiful as well. The strive to look like this “perfect image” that the media puts out there, may have caud many people to resort to plastic surgery. Although （in spite of … even though….nevertheless….）I believe that个人陈述 英文 this has probably incread the amount of plastic surgeries preformed lately, duhaithis cau may not be the most effective either. People have always wanted to look like the people that they e in the media. This image that celebrities have has been around for a long time and people have always strived to look like them. The slight change in the image that celebrities portray today would probably not have caud such a great increa in plastic surgery.
Another possible cau to this largely growing trend is the fact that plastic surgery has become more accepted in recent years. Many television shows such as Extreme Makeover and Dr. 90210 have made the idea of plastic surgery more known and accepted among people in America. Recently many celebrities have been getting plastic surgery as well making the idea more widely known and accepted. It ems that plastic s
urgery ud to be looked down upon until the shows and the media have become more accepting of it, influencing society to feel the same. It does not em like the increa in acceptance in the American society would have such a large effect on the trend. I do not think that the fact that the idea was not very well accepted was stopping many people before. I feel that it is becoming more accepted becau it is becoming more common. But why is plastic surgery becoming so common today?
The most probable cau is the advancements in the technology and procedures of plastic surgery. As time has evolved, plastic surgery has become safe and more reliable, making more and more people feel comfortable with having it done. Procedures that previously took a long time and had painful recoveries can now be done quickly and with little pain at all. People no longer need to be afraid of the horrifying outcomes their surgery might have or the long and painful recoveries that they will have to go through. Now there are computer programs that can show people what they will look like after the surgery has been preformed. Becau of the programs it is now less of a risk for people to get the surgeries becau they can e exactly what the outcome is going to

be like. The advancements in technology have also caud the cost of the surgeries to decrea, making it more affordable to more people. In addition, improvements such as lar technology have allowed surgeries to be preformed with slight or no at all allowing quick and painless recoveries (Technology). Technology has also improved the instruments that surgeons now u so that they surgeries can be done with more precision and accuracy making plastic surgery more reliable today than it has ever been before.
