College Students Are Seeking out Plastic Surgery

Surveys show alarming trends among the youth of today, who appear to be extremely eager to get under the knife to change their looks. For many young men and women, barely out of their teens, it would appear that plastic surgery has become the panacea for their dissatisfaction with their looks.

Also, opposite to popular belief, it is not only the youth in America who are lining up at the clinics of plastic surgeons to improve their image of themselves. This trend has now spread to Korea with students in their 20's choosing cosmetic surgery to beautify their looks.

In the United Kingdom, this great need for cosmetic and plastic surgery is also on the rise among the youth. A British association of plastic surgeons reported that the number of surgical operations has greatly increased. Furthermore, medical tourism in regards to cosmetic surgery is on the rise today in the UK with cosmetic surgery centers and plastic surgery clinics offering discounts and attractive packages.

Glamour and beauty have become the order of the day and today's youth regard pop stars, actors and celebrities as their role models. It has become a priority for people to have a beautiful face and a beautiful body, in order for them to fit in with social groups; and as a result, students and young people are under a lot of pressure to look good.

Ordinary faces have disappeared from magazines, television and even newspapers and it is only the beautiful pictures of rail thin models, with pouting lips and sculpted bodies that appear on billboards. Images of these carefully selected beautiful people and the attention being given to looks today have caused many young people to grow up with a sense of inferiority.

It is sad to see 20-year-olds so eager to try out dangerous surgeries where they will allow their faces to be cut in an attempt to become what they feel is "beautiful". As kids they are not happy with themselves and when they grow up and go to college and are of age — they choose plastic surgery as a solution to their low self-esteem.
