Researched Argument Thesis
Society hasn't always been focused on celebrities the way it is now, but the effects of being in the spotlight has influenced many stars to get cosmetic procedures. People have taken notice of celebrities who have gotten plastic surgery and feel the need to strive to become more beautiful like their celebrity idol. Today's media has enhanced the glamour of cosmetic surgery in television shows such as Nip/Tuck and The Swan. Plastic surgery is more common than most realize and is growing rapidly in popularity by the minute. The popularity of cosmetic surgery does little to demonstrate the predetermined views society has become accustom to on the risks from procedures performed in cosmetic surgeries. The views I am referring to usually relate to the young blond women that have breast implants. The practice of cosmetic surgery has been developed and the risks have diminished as the techiques have improved.

Im kinda confused on your argument through your theses. Are you trying to argue that it is unsafe or safe to have plastic surgery and who is your paper directed at? It might be kinda interesting to hear about the negatives from plastic surgery since most people just see the glamour brought from the surgery, maybe even post surgery recovery.
ReplyDeleteI am arguing that there are other benefits from plastic surgery that aren't just the superficial ones everyone already knows. It is directed to the public who perceives plastic surgery for the glamorous aspects instead of for the medical aspect cosmetic surgery can have.
ReplyDeleteif somthing goes wrong, what all damage can be done other than the appearence, like internally?
ReplyDeleteThat is a big question. There can be many complications depending on the patient with the medications they are on and the medicine the surgeon uses for sedation while in surgery and what procedure is being performed. I will have to research that more to be more specific.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a number of shows that pin point on plastic surgeries gone wrong. What would you consider safe practice? Who accounts for the population that is not abusing plastic surgery? In others, constructive surgery vs. cosmetic surgery. Do you think plastic surgery will continue to increase, or do you see it being a fad? I'm curious to see what your view points are in your final draft.
ReplyDeletekind of a big generalization of just 'blondes' gettin breast implants
ReplyDeletedo you have an opposition that says theres no other benefits to surgury?
Lyra,
ReplyDeleteThe patient needs to research many aspects of the cosmetic procedure in order to be informed about the surgeon and procedure they are having done to help with safety concerns. There are types of plastic surgery that aren't superficial and don't affect the appearance of the patient. Those who are informed about their procedure are not abusing it, but those who don't understand that plastic surgery can be unsafe should research the subject further. I think plastic surgery will continue to increase in popularity and the procedures will become more advanced.
Cam,
My opposition is about the popular types of cosmetic procedures, such as Botox.
What is an example of how plastic surgery can be beneficial? and... How can plastic surgery go wrong? (other than the appearance of something)Can plastic surgery kill?
ReplyDeleteWho can plastic surgery benefit? Are you going to talk about specific groups, or just in general?
ReplyDeleteBrent,
ReplyDeleteThere are plastic surgery procedures most do not realize are, such as getting a clef pallet reconstructed. Plastic surgery can go wrong in many ways, but the most common is people getting a procedure that isn't approved and having serious side effects. Just like other types of surgery there is a risk when having a cosmetic procedure. Depending on the patient the risks can vary.
Megan,
Plastic surgery can benefit those with severe deformities, abnormal appearances, and those who may need a boost in confidence for their appearance. I discuss those who benefit greatly from plastic surgery from having cosmetic procedures many don't realize are classified as cosmetic.
so do you think that people should be able to get plastic surgery even if they do not have a deformity? And do you really think that plastic surgery is a good way for people to feel good about their appearance?
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeletePlastic surgery may be necessary for some to live, an example would be having metal inserted to protect the brain when a bone graft won't take. Having breast implants or lipo may result in people being more comfortable with their body in a society that focuses on imperfections. Cosmetic procedures such as Botox are in a way the same as applying make-up, make-up is a way to feel better about your appearance and Botox is a longer lasting version.
I think that you probably shouldn't categorize young blond woman as the ones who have breast implants because this statement isn't always true. Are you arguing that plastic surgery is dangerous and shouldn't be occurring or that plastic surgery is becoming more popular?
ReplyDeleteAngie,
ReplyDeleteThe statement about blonde women suggests people shouldn't judge others based on their appearance. I am arguing that society shouldn't judge people for having cosmetic surgery among other things.
