Assignment 6.3: Begin a review of Chapter 9 on Body Image


Men and women spend a significant amount of time looking good. By means, not makeup or styling their hair...but cosmetic and plastic surgery! It is amazing how much people choose this method to make themselves confident and happy with themselves. One can go to a clinic during lunch and get collagen or botox injection or a surgical operation of a facelift and nose job in hours. What a deal!

McGuire writes about The Swan, a reality show about seventeen women who undergo surgical procedures in making them beautiful inner and outter in six weeks. I watched this show from beginning to end and was like...Wow! Feeling their pain as they were interviewed made it seem that it's a dead end and no way to crawl out of the ugliness. Maybe true for them so they considered plastic surgery. Throughout the show, I watched these women go through surgical procedures and (some) bitched about how it hurted, how it felt and so one. Hey, that is what happens when you want to be beautiful right. (Enough said!) Although I was happy with the results as they revealed these ladies on the show. I wonder why they didn't continue with The Swan 2? Hmmmm.....



Surgeons play a major role in these type of surgeries. I admit...they do save people in other words they're image not their life. Surgeons who think they can do a full combo surgical procedure from top to bottom in 7 to 8 hours is insane! According to McGuire, after so many hours, after that you are not getting the surgeon's best work. Hey guys/gals this is not like ordering a value meal in McDonalds drive through. McGuire is right! This should be done accordingly and in a timely manner.
