Cosmetic Surgery and Enhancement: When Size and Shape Become an Issue

Many men are uncomfortable with their penile size while women worry more about their breast size and shape. Many more people are worried about the shape of their nose, their ears, their lips and many other mundane things and often rush for cosmetic surgery when the real problem is in their mind. Happiness has very little to do with our looks, its all psychological.

You don’t like the size of your breasts and the shape of your nose too, and again, your lips are too thick or perhaps your manhood is too small for your liking and you need to do something. Many people find themselves in this situation and feel the need to get a permanent solution to their agony by undergoing cosmetic surgery or mere size enhancement.

What would make a man want to enhance his penile size when its use is mere procreation and urination? What makes a woman want bigger breasts when their use is merely to breastfeed her young ones? Why would you change your nose when all you need is its olfactory function? Why are we preoccupied with the size and shape of our body organs when our happiness doesn’t depend on them?

It’s all about self esteem

Many people are not comfortable with their bodies and feel bad about the size and shape of different organs. Some do not like their complexion and will tend to try and bleach themselves white. The problem is purely psychological and actually a result of low self esteem.

Laziness contributes too

As much as low self esteem is often to blame for many of the radical cosmetic changes that men and women undergo, the reluctance to try better remedies like exercise and healthy diet and instead go for liposuction and the like can be attributed to nothing other than laziness. We like quick fixes to everything and would rather pay a handsome fee to be made as near perfect as possible rather than go through a slow but more positive life transformation.

Societal pressure

You look at those sticky models with large breasts being flashed across the television screen with long flawless hair and smooth skins without blemish and dream of such looks. The society more often than not endorses these looks and the rest of us have no choice but to blindly follow these dictates not knowing that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and that how good we look has everything to do with how great we feel.

    We are all creatures of our social environment. Sometimes the need to look a certain way in that environment can be overwhelming. It is nice to say that looks are not important, but if that’s true then why so much cosmetic surgery? I think it would be better to say that looks are important; they just are not everything. Other things are more important.

    Excellent article with good advice. Society puts a lot of pressure for women especially to look good and in turn a lot of women suffer with self-esteem issues because they are always comparing themselves to the models in the magazine. A lot of women claim that if their breasts were bigger they would feel better about themselves. Some men are self-conscious about their size because they know that women prefer big and they worry about whether they will be able to satisfy their woman or not. I can agree with you more. Just change your lifestyle and mindset.

    It’s all the media hype, We forget what nature intended humans to be. We are brainwashed and bamboozled.

    Great article – good advice. It is unfortunate that our society makes value judgments of people based on appearance.

    This is a good in-depth look. And yes, society pressures us by making it appear we should all look like models. It feeds on our low self-esteem and causes even greater lack of confidence if we see ourselves anything short of perfection.
    But think how boring the world would be if we were all alike. It would be like a a land of clones. No thanks!

    Great advice. I will say plastic surgery should be only for those who are injured severely in accidents.

    Great article. I would never go for plastic surgery (unless my body gets extensively damaged in some accident). Very few people are so ugly that they would really need cosmetic surgery.

    I agree with you that excercising and healthy eating habits are far better alternative.
