Nowadays, plastic surgeries are becoming the first and the easiest solution for people who have problems with their stomachs, thighs or noses. Images of Janet Jackson’s breasts, Britney spears tummy and Nancy Ajram’s eyes are forcing people mainly women to walk into the plastic surgeon’s tables to win the battle of beauty. Media has changed our perception of the body image, it have distorted our self-esteem and have exposed us with the fact that our happiness, success and confidence and be simply accomplished with the physical attraction and that can be achieved by the nip and tuck surgeries. The most victims of this mass media propaganda are teenagers; many of the young girls are suffering from anorexia due to the dissatisfaction of their own body image. I remember I saw one of these ads in a magazine, it was promoting for anorexia by portraying the Barbie as the perfect body. Actors and Actress can also be a great weapon as they are considered the role model for most of the teenagers and even adults.
T.V shows producers were aware of this issue and unlike most us, they took it and abused it as an advantage for their own benefits. Plastic surgeries nowadays become a very popular and well succeed T.V theme and they have greatly increased such as nip tuck, the swan and many others. What we don’t realize is that these shows are giving us the wrong message and they are also brainwashing us to the fact the beauty is only with what is seen not what is hidden, meaning that our physical shape define our personality or who we are regarding what’s in being hidden behind our skins. In a research done by Miranda Hitti from the WebMD Medical News that there is a 299% increase in the use of plastic surgeries and it is also and $8.4 million industry in the United states.
Plastic surgeries should only be used in extreme cases of severe damages either from burning or other factors. If we want to be fit and healthy we should consider other simple solutions such as exercises and healthy food.

I totally agree with you. Fake beauty is sadly increasing,, and the problem is that almost every one now start seeing and understanding the beauty concpet in this way. I mean what's wrong with short or chubby people??? As you said, I think girls should work on their bodies and exercise but not spend days with no food. However,it's not only the celebrities like Nancy Ajram who force girls to walk into the plastic surgeon’s tables, it's also men who always nag on our heads and compare our bodies with models. I mean there is a lot of pressure from men on women beauty,,they just want us to be perfect or they will start nagging and flirting with other girls. I think girls should have a high self confidence.
