The media has more influence than I thought…

While many people may not realize it, cosmetic surgery isn’t just limited to beverly hills breast reduction. Sure, los angeles liposuction is extremely popular as well but the one thing that was new to me is the ethnic plastic surgery. Yes, I know it seems a little odd but face it, all of the plastic surgery stories you’d see on television are primarily just rich white women looking to improve something that doesn’t even need to be touched.

I was taken back by seeing this link, as odd as that may sound, but typically when I think ethnic I think of a black woman proud to be exactly what she is and how she is. In New York, going into stores like Dots or Rainbow you see a lot of very proud black women who aren’t complaining about being in the plus-sized section of the store, hell – them embrace it. Watching television you see influences like Monique showing off just how proud she is to be a big beautiful woman. So naturally when I hear something in regards to an ethnic woman looking to have a breast reduction, nose job, tummy tuck or all of the above, it just seems out of the norm for me.

I just still believe it’s a shame that no matter how much money you have – you can’t just be happy with who you are. I also see that in a few different ways though. Yes, I’m working on losing weight but it’s based on the fact that I’m unhappy with where I am, it’s also a health related issue. Just because you have a little extra fat on your body doesn’t mean you’re morbidly obese and should go under the knife. Someone, like myself, who’s 100lbs overweight, naturally I’m going to fix it the proper way first without depending upon a surgeon to step in, especially at what these men and women charge to slice you with all kinds of needles and knives just to fix something that can easily be adjusted without going through the pain.
