"In that case if there is a way to enhance his or her life mentally or emotionally then of course-- but isn't it more like a fashion fad these days?
I'm no talking about people born with something about their bodies that causes them upset or grief-- I'm really thinking of those who have it done because their friends have had it done.It obviously helps many people who actually NEED it-- but for those who doit for the sake of fashion or fad-- ?
But even if it is just some girl looking to get a boob job or nose job or whatever, you can't just disregard the psyche behind why she wants to do it, why she feels inadequate, and what can be done to help her after she's still not satisfied after the procedure, which is a common case. This opens the doors to a much deeper meaning as to why people go through these procedures from a mental standpoint. Some of these people could be considered "sick" for lack of a better term, if they're willing to mutilate themselves based on what they've seen on TV. So don't you think these people would be better off getting some kind of help rather than being chastised for being "artificial?"

I believe there is a word-- that eludes me-- where a person does not see their true image when they look in a mirror-- but their idea about their looks which is mostly in their own mind.
I wondered if it was world wide in popularity.?A lot of it is about being happy within ones own body or having poor self esteem and trying to make oneself look like Celebs etc.
It is similar to those who starve themselves because they believe they are too fat-- when they really are normal.
