Cosmetic Surgery: Sometimes a need or just an expensive want?
We often see news stories about people---famous or not---undergoing plastic or cosmetic surgery for any number of reasons to improve their appearance. Any number of reasons can be cited for doing so, and the debate on this topic stretches very long: on the one hand, opponents often say that people are just being vain and lack self-confidence in their appearance while proponents argue that such surgeries are often needed for medical and even psychological reasons.
What do you think about this topic? Have you ever---even remotely in you mind---considered having some form of cosmetic surgery? Do you think there can be valid reasons for having it?
