by miss marigold I've observed a negative stigma associated with plastic
surgery and cosmetic procedures here in America. Still, the public in general seems fascinated with it - how many times have you seen an online article about Ashlee Simpson's nose job, John Kerry's botox procedure, and Star Jones' liposuction? A lot of the articles come off as speculative, but they still have negative overtones. Then there are the TV shows like
Dr. 90210 or
10 Years Younger, which follow regular people as they get touched up.
In some countries, like South Korea, plastic surgery's pretty normal. A lot of girls get the double eyelid sugery or nose jobs. I'm not from South Korea, but I grew up near it and people in my area seem to be pretty open about it too.
While I haven't considered plastic surgery/cosmetic procedures for myself, I'm wondering how the Christian community feels about them. Keep in mind that I'm not talking about plastic surgery for people who really need it (burn victims, people with cleft palates or injuries, etc.) Most Christians I know disapprove of plastic surgery because it seems really vain to pay so much money to alter your physical appearance; not only that, but it undermines how God created you to look like.
How do you feel about plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures? Have you ever thought about getting it?
