Plastic Fantastic

So I was engaging in a little light reading of the Sunday Telegraph yesterday…annoyed right from the front page: teenage plastic surgery banned.
‘Under sweeping changes aimed at the cosmetic industry teens will be banned from having collagen and botox injections…’ The NSW government is also looking at bringing in changes to legislation so that people under the age of 18 cannot undergo purely cosmetic surgeries: like breast enhancement.
Why am I so annoyed? This should be a good thing right?
It is a good thing…and I applaud premier Morris Iemma for his opinion on the issue…
But I can’t understand for the life of me:
1. why it’s been allowed to go on until now
2. why someone (especially someone so young) would want to do it
3. why a parent/guardian would allow it or encourage it
4. why the surgeon (who I feel sure makes enough money out of people over the age of 18) would agree to perform it.

I’ve never been able to understand the obession with big boobs myself – nor have I ever wanted them. I can’t understand why young people with bodies that have hardly finished developing would want to put themselves through major surgery. I have watched breast surgery and I have seen what they look like after surgery…and it’s not pretty.

‘Oh but it’ll all be worth it…’

Yeah Right!

As for botox and collagen…don’t even get me started…

I’m so mad with the superficial world at the moment…
