This is my second presentation and I want to
discuss with you quite a controversial topic which is medical cosmetology. Did you try it, or would you? And if you are a
man and you think this topic is not for you I encourage you to debate for or
against it even more! Would you do it to yourself? Or how would you react to information
that your girlfriend was not always so pretty? ;)
To be more
specific let me define what aesthetic medicine is and even more important what
it is not.
According
to wikipedia:
"Aesthetic medicine is a branch of
medicine, plastic surgery, focused on satisfying the aesthetic desires and
goals of patients" - Of course in almost every case this kind of
treatments are used by completely healthy people. On the other hand,
"Aesthetic medicine comprises all medical procedures in the field of
Aesthetics excluding all surgical procedures which require an operating table
and general anesthesia".
So this excludes breast implants, facelifts or
rhinoplasty. Sometimes it can be performed within one day - effects are instant
and in most cases not last forever.
Let me
introduce to you some examples:
Injections Botulinum toxin (Botox)
It is used as an anti-wrinkle treatment and in
reducing mimic wrinkles, effect can last from 6 weeks to 8 months. First use of
botox was described in 1989 by Dr. Richard Clark, and in 2002 it was officially
approved to be used in temporary mimic wrinkles reduction.
CO2 laser is used to remove superficial wrinkles, tattoos and acne scars. The laser cuts very little holes in our skin so it can repair itself. Convalescence lasts for 4-5 days but effects last forever!
And for a dessert an "urban legend"
related to aesthetic medicine:
Once upon a time in some Asian country lived a happy
marriage. One day the wife gave birth to unfortunately a very ugly child. After
the test which proved that they were
both parents of this child, the husband asked his beloved if she had had any
plastic surgery. Her confirmation was the end of their fairy tale ;) (Besides
she had to pay him compensation.)
Questions:
1. What is your opinion about that kind of
treatments?
2. Would you like to be with a person who had plastic surgery?
3. Would you end your relationship if you found out that your beloved had plastic surgery?
2. Would you like to be with a person who had plastic surgery?
3. Would you end your relationship if you found out that your beloved had plastic surgery?
If you need an example:
Comments
Saying all that I think it's quite obvious that I wouldn't mind being with a person that undergone plastic surgery. I would be upset though if I would've discovered this fact only later, only because I believe that honesty is the most important part of a relationship. However I wouldn't end it only because of that.
I think that it's your life/body and you can do everything with it as long as you are sane and don't affect others. For me plastic surgery is a tool to help people cure i.e. acne scars, and I don't think I would use it in any other way, even though there are times I can't look at myself in the mirror (but I think everyone has times like that).
2. Would you like to be with a person who had plastic surgery?
Tricky question, this is the part when everyone says that they look at what is inside of a person, not how this person looks like. I would say that looks are important for everyone and as long as she has wonderful personality I don't see a problem.
3. Would you end your relationship if you found out that your beloved had plastic surgery?
I can't say I would not, because this is one of the situations when you can't be sure of how would you react, but I would try to consider her feelings.
I won’t judge people because everyone has free will and can decide what to do with health and money but still I don’t know if I am able to be with someone who has plastic surgery without need…
Third question is very complicated because it depends on many factors and most important one is when I discover that fact. If someone tell me after 5 years: “I had plastic surgery here, here and here” I will be angry not about treatment but about lying for 5 years so considering all I wouldn’t end our relationship because of that “issue”.
We are all great, but sometimes we don’t see it at first.
#1 The topic of affecting other lives is not so simple, because if someone is starting to be addicted to it, it can be serious problem for whole family. Like with every addict.
#2 I know, that is why I asked that question ;)
#3 Thank you for the answer.
Another question is the intensity of us using of esthetic medicine. We are constantly bombarded by images of unnaturally looking models. And then we face a funny paradox. Everybody knows that normally they don’t look like on the pictures that we see. They are “upgraded” by plastic surgeons and Photoshop and nevertheless most people believe that when the buy that specific peace of cosmetics that the advertise they will look just like them.
So yes we will use esthetic medicine always, that’s our nature, but we can’t get crazy about our appearance. As the say it’s wraths inside that matter the most.
