Plastic Surgery: A Trend Taking Over America
What is the price to be beautiful? In today’s society many Americans are wildly spending their money to have plastic surgery. This is a trend that is rapidly becoming more popular in America. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) there were almost 11 million plastic surgeries preformed in 2006. In just the past six years, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons states that the amount of plastic surgeries preformed each year has increased by 48 percent (2000/2005/2006 National Plastic Surgery Statistics). There are many possible causes to this fast growing trend including affordability, the media’s influence, and gr owing acceptance, but I believe the most
probable cause is the improvement in quality and safety of the procedures.
(背景）Plastic surgery first originated as a means of correcting medical problems. Dr. John Peter Mettauer preformed the first plastic surgery in North American history when he operated on a cleft palate in 1827 (History of Plastic Surgery). World War I helped plastic surgery evolve by reconstructing facial wounds and burns on injured soldiers. For the purpose of making money, doctors began to perform these
reconstructive surgeries on people without medical conditions to improve their appearances. As time went on these surgeries became more and more popular bringing us to the quickly growing trend that we have today. What could have caused these surgeries to become so popular so quickly? （leads to the causes behind this.）One possible cause of this trend could be that注意措辞plastic surgery has become more affordable. Carrie Stetler of Newhouse News states that plastic surgery is now easier to afford, with many surgeons offering financing plans on procedures ranging from $2,000 for a nose job to nearly $10,000 for a face-lift (Stetler). Before it was common only for wealthy people to get these surgeries but now that plastic surgery has become more affordable, there are more people from the middle class receiving these surgeries as well. This may have caused a large increase in the amount of people who receive plastic surgery today. Although it makes sense, I do not feel that it is the most likely cause of this trend. While I am sure that the decrease in prices has increased the amount of people who have now received plastic surgery, I do not think that it would have made such a large difference. This cause would have only influenced the middle class Americans to join the trend. Because of how frequently the numbers of people who receive plastic surgery are growing, I believe that the cause must be something that involves many groups of people.
A second reason for this growing trend could be that in recent years the media has been very busy pointing out every little flaw that any celebrity might have. By doing this, the media has created this “perfect image” that everyone wants to fit into. Celebrities are usually known for being beautiful and many people feel that if they look like them they must be beautiful as well. The strive to look like this “perfect image” that
the media puts out there, may have caused many people to resort to plastic surgery. Although （in spite of …even though….nevertheless….）I believe that this has probably increased the amount of plastic surgeries preformed lately, this cause may not be the most effective either. People have always wanted to look like the people that they see in the media. This image that celebrities have has been around for a long time and people have always strived to look like them. The slight change in the image that celebrities portray today would probably not have caused such a great increase in plastic surgery.
Another possible cause to this largely growing trend is the fact that plastic surgery has become more accepted in recent years. Many television shows such as Extreme Makeover and Dr. 90210 have made the idea of plastic surgery more known and accepted among people in America. Recently many celebrities have been getting plastic surgery as well making the idea more widely known and accepted. It seems that plastic surgery used to be looked down upon until these shows and the media have become more accepting of it, influencing society to feel the same. It does not seem like the increase in acceptance in the American society would have such a large effect on the trend. I do not think that the fact that the idea was not very well accepted was stopping many people before. I feel that it is becoming more accepted because it is becoming more common. But why is plastic surgery becoming so common today?
The most probable cause is the advancements in the technology and procedures of plastic surgery. As time has evolved, plastic surgery has become safe and more reliable, making more and more people feel comfortable with having it done. Procedures that previously took a long time and had painful recoveries can now be done quickly and
with little pain at all. People no longer need to be afraid of the horrifying outcomes their surgery might have or the long and painful recoveries that they will have to go through. Now there are computer programs that can show people what they will look like after the surgery has been preformed. Because of these programs it is now less of a risk for people to get these surgeries because they can see exactly what the outcome is going to be like. The advancements in technology have also caused the cost of the surgeries to decrease, making it more affordable to more people. In addition,improvements such as laser technology have allowed surgeries to be preformed with slight or no at all allowing quick and painless recoveries (Technology). Technology has also improved the instruments that surgeons now use so that they surgeries can be done with more precision and accuracy making plastic surgery more reliable today than it has ever been before.
(Counter the most possible cause)Some would argue that,despite new technology, because there is still a risk involved with having the surgery preformed and people would still be uncomfortable to have the surgeries done, that this may not be the most likely cause. While it is true that there is still some risk involved, the improvements have been so immense that it would be enough to make most people feel comfortable with getting the surgeries preformed. I believe that safety and reliability is greatly valued in most people’s decision-making and that the improvements in these qualities to plastic surgery would influence enough people to see a drastic increase in plastic surgery.
While I feel that all of these causes could have led to some increase in the amount of plastic surgeries being preformed today, I believe that the improvement in the reliability and safety in these procedures had the largest effect and turned plastic surgery into the quickly growing trend it is today. As technology continues to improve, I predict
that this trend is going to keep growing and become more common and popular than it has already become. Technology has made the price to be beautiful cheap, simple, and risk free.

1.第一段说明美容手术流行，亮明你的观点。 第2,3，...分论点。先有主题句，后面几句展开。 最后一段：结论 2.注意新词汇的运用。 3.流畅性、逻辑性大于词汇丰富性。 With the rapid change of our society both people’s standard of beauty and need for beauty significantly increase. In this way cosmetic surgery becomes extremely common, with more and more men and women seeking to enhance their body. It is reported that there were 2.2billion dollars spent on the cosmetic surgery with a growth of 30% each year. However, many people now are questioning the benefit of cosmetic surgery as people who beautify their appearance artificially are regarded as the natural beauty desecrater. From my point of view, the cosmetic surgery is not as bad as it is thought to be. After cosmetic surgery people can be more confident and competitive in the job market and daily life. A pretty look provides people with an active mood when working with other mates, which has a positive influence on how they behave at work. Nobody can deny that in this way their competitiveness will be greatly enhanced. Also, the active atmosphere is also an advantage to the development of the company. As fondness of beauty is common in the whole human beings, more and more occupations focus on how the workers look like. Travelling on the plane, you will definitely not be pleased when served by a bad-looking waiter. The Airline stewardess is one of the occupations that need good look and balanced figure, and the actor, the model are the same. There is no doubt that cosmetic surgery will improve the quality of how they work or serve the customers. For those with physical deformity or disfigurement result from accidents, cosmetic surgery is extremely helpful. There are lots of people who accidently break his nose, burn his face or just born with a cleft lip. All of these are scans that will never heal naturally. Only with artificial surgery can those unlucky people get rid of ridicule and have the chance of enjoying the same life as normal people. Love of beauty is taste while the creation of beauty is art. Everyone wants to be perfect. Although one’s natural look is given by his parents, he still have the right of seeking his own beauty.

Plastic Surgery For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes t owrite a short essay entitle My View on Plastic Surgery. You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below in Chinese. 1 越来越多的人接受整容手术 2 我的看法及理由 3 结论 My View on Plastic Surgery In recent years, more and more people, especially some young girls choose to take plastic surgeries. Some people argue that this kind of surgery can improve one's appearance, thus secure a good job. Others hold a different opinion, they consider plastic surgery as a waste of money. Personally, I agree with the latter. Firstly, beauty is only skin-deep, as the saying goes, virtue is more important than appearance. Plastic surgery cannot improve one's character. Who do you think is more popular, an ordinary girl with charming personality, or a beautiful girl with arrogant manner? Secondly, success relies on one's abilities but not appearance. Some people, especially young girls dream to find a good job after taking plastic surgery. For example, it takes one at least 30,000 Yuan to have double eyelid. Fourthly, people have to bear the risks of an unsuccessful surgery which will be a lifelong pain. All in all, it is not advisable for people to take plastic surgeries. We can get what we want by improving our inner qualities, such as our personality and ability, and there is no need to endure the pains and economic loss of a plastic surgery. 另外一篇 Would you like to become more beauty than people around you? Competition in reality of society make beauty obsession. Cosmetics might no long satisfy people’s appetite for beauty. With developing tecnolagy, cosmetic surgery has stepped into our life, like a magician, it turns an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan. However, do you really want the beauty brought by plastic surgery? In fact, the artificial look is almost nothing compare with one’s inner beauty except momentarily satisfaction. Contrary to expectation, common sense of the beauty is still disapproval of the fake beauty, not to mention plastic surge ry is harmful to people’s health. To begin with, one’s outer beauty will fade quickly as time goes by, but one’s inner beauty will always shine. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross had said, “People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is lights from within." My best friend Joey back in Woodland school proves this idea perfectly. She is 7 inches shorter than me but twice mysize. Her friends always joke about her small eyes that she should open them sometimes. Even though Joey can’t be considered as a beauty, but she is still attractive. Joey is the president of Student Activity Council. She had organized many interesting and creative activities that brought joy and energy to my school. As a

My-opinion-on-plastic-surgery
My opinion on plastic surgery When it comes to the topic of plastic surgery, different people hold different opinions. Some people take it for granted that adolescents resort to plastic surgery for different purposes. However, others hold that ability matters more than appearance, people shouldn't use plastic surgery to change the face or figure. As far as i'm concerned, I agree with the latter. First and foremost, inner beauty which is usually defined as ability is much more important than physical beauty. We should pay more attention to our ability instead of the appearance. Although in recent years, many graduating college students use plastic surgery to pursuit a good-looking face in order to improve their chances of getting the job of the choice, we must understand that wise men never judge a person by his appearance but by his ability. Even the most beautiful will fade as time goes by, but ability can accumulate day by day.Secondly, plastic surgery not only wastes money and time but also has side effects,such as pain or defects of certain sense . It's reported that many stars who use plastic surgery to become charming suffered a lot after several years, those side effects may remain in the rest of their lives. So it's better not to change the original appearance by plastic surgery. Natural beauty is the most pure beauty worth to be stored . From the foregoing, we can safely draw a conclusion that plastic surgery shouldn't be applied to increase the index of beauty. Instead,we should pay more attention to the cultivation of our ability that could last forever. Even the most beautiful will fade as time goes by, but ability can accumulate day by day.

plastic surgery好处辩论
As is known to all, nowadays plastic surgery is very prevailing. As a result, the argument about this action is quite furious. My point is that the advantages of plastic surgery out-weight its disadvantages. There are three reasons for my viewpoint. First, it can make people’s appearance more beautiful. The meaning of plastic surgery in the dictionary is the medical practice of changing the appearance of people’s faces or bodies, either to improve their appearance or to repair injuries. If a person had an accident and his face were injured, plastic surgery couldreshape his appearance. Second, it can make people more confident. A successful plastic surgery cannot merely change a person’s appearance; it’s influence on the person’s mentality can’t be igno red. Take a female star, Zheng Shuang, as an example. Before the plastic surgery, she was a bit self-abased because she thought she was not outstanding. But after the operation, this situation betters. Last but not the least, the prosperity of plastic industry can boost the economy. As this industry develops, more jobs are available. What’s more, an amount of people spent money on it and the country gets more income. To sum up,the advantages of plastic surgery out-weight its disadvantages.
