Understanding the Different Perspectives on Cosmetic Surgery
Plastic surgery is defined as surgery concerned with the repair, restoration, or improvement of lost, injured, defective, or misshapen body parts. Is it necessary to undergo such surgery for discontentment with one’s self-image? This question is challenging to answer and a divide would quickly form between believers and nonbelievers in cosmetic plastic surgery. Cosmetic plastic surgery focuses on the enhancement of one’s appearance and seeks to restore or enhance normal appearance to an ideal. The main purpose when undergoing this form of surgery is to obtain confidence and comfort with one’s self. This can be a difficult concept to grasp through the fact that a 100 percent confidence level appears nearly impossible. Many times people find when one thing is right, another is wrong. People have a tendency to have an ongoing cycle of dissatisfaction with themselves. Therefore, how could people be genuinely happy after surgery when almost immediately another problem surfaces? Surgeons and supporters of this field of surgery have a clear answer. Cosmetic surgery is an efficient way to help people change in an idealistic way. Surgery can make people feel new and improved, which can evoke a content lifestyle. Although realistically, not every surgery can give the desired results, cosmetic plastic surgery may provide the change and confidence needed to make anyone happier. Happiness plays an important role in our everyday lives. Without it, we are lost and are unable to grasp the pleasure and excitement of life itself. With it, we feel free and willing to take on everything and anything that is thrown down our path. The most important thing in life is to be happy. If surgery can create this happiness is anyone’s life, maybe it is detrimental to our society. Cosmetic surgery reveals many positive and negative aspects that can both be addressed and play an important role in the values, efficiency, and creativity of today’s society.

This is very bias and doesnt really set the scene for your reader. I agree with a lot of your points, but you are only discussing your side of the argument in a bias manner. You dont follow step by step format of following one implication to the next to make a point. I think you need to do this in a way that starts at a point, goes through implications and makes one point at the end of the paragraph; in an unbias manner.

I feel that you have some very important ideas. I do agree that there is some bias in your argument but if you put some relevant implications after a few of the sentences you could fix this problem. I think that if you work on some of these parts in your paragraph, your argument will be very good.
