Are you happy with your body?


Lately, a lot of people want to change their body because they want to look like the people they see in magazines and films. The number of young people who have plastic surgery is increasing. Spain is the number one in Europe in plastic surgery, and the forth in the world following USA, Mexico and Argentina.

Most of the people who have plastic surgery are women, but every day more men want to change their body. In Spain, nine out of ten people who have plastic surgery are women, but in England men now make up almost 40% of all surgeries performed.
Because of the crisis that the world is suffering now, the number of plastic surgeries has decreased almost 30%. The most expensive plastic surgery is body surgery. For example breast enlargement costs about 1500 euros.
The most common plastic surgery among women is tummy tuck, followed by breast enlargement and eyelid surgery. Rhinoplasty is also very popular. Liposuction is the most popular among men, followed by hair implants and breast reduction.
A lot of people think that being beautiful helps them to be successful in life. This is what Cindy Jackson thinks who has spent more than £60,000 in plastic surgery. She started having her eyes widened, and now she doesn’t seem the same person. She says she has a genius IQ but she was invisible. Now that she is pretty she gets lots of attention.
Some months ago, a 15-year-old girl was in the news saying that her parents would pay her a breast enlargement for her 16th birthday.
I think that being happy with your body helps you being happier in life, and I think people can do whatever they want to their body if it makes them happy. However, I think that having breast enlargement at 15 is a bit exaggerated. Girls at this age aren’t fully grown and I think they should wait until they are older.

What do you think about that? Would you change any part of your body?
