Introduction
To examine the history of cosmetic surgery, Ratcliff stated that
cosmetic surgery was originally used to reconstruct the injuries of
the returning soldiers from the First and Second World Wars.
However, due to the long-time promotions of the media in the
standard of beauty of women and the turning of the effects of aging
to pathological changes by doctors, the usage of cosmetic surgery
has changed (133). Ratcliff reported the statistics in 1998 from the
American Association, which showed 3,892,149 cosmetic surgeries
for women (135).
Nowadays, cosmetic surgery becomes more common, especially for
women. Instead of needing it, women see it as a want. They want to
attain their ideal images by cosmetic surgery. However, the raising
of cosmetic surgery causes both physical and psychological
problems.
This paper will examine the causes and effects of cosmetic surgery.

Conclusion
Although there are negative effects of cosmetic surgery, it cannot
eliminate the advantages it gives to women. Cosmetic surgery gives
self-esteem and a new body image to women. It makes women
accept themselves again and comfort them when they face others
and do not feel inferior when they saw their face or body. So, why
not look for outstanding doctor to help you fulfilling your goal.
To choose the right doctor, Barry suggested that the first thing is
comparing more than two doctors and taking consultations with
them (17). Second, choosing a doctor according to their experience
and technical abilities and do not trust any advertising, magazines
or television shows because great doctors do not need to get
promoted (18). Third, you must know what you want to change
before having operation and during the consultation time. You have
to ensure that your doctor understands your expectations after
surgery (18-20).
