Is beauty only skin deep?

A rather controversial subject folks! When I look around me I see people talking about which facial enhancement to have next, whether it be botox, fillers, liposuction etc. Each to their own and all that however what happened to exercising and eating properly and healthily to lose weight and shape up?  What happened to drinking lots of water and looking after your skin? Facial surgery, botox and fillers are so easily accessible these days it seems the preferred option to enhance oneself as a 'quick fix' but if we actually look at WHY people are having these treatments carried out, there lies a whole other subject! What are we trying to achieve by having facial enhancements carried out, honestly?

 Why can't we these days just accept who we are and be grateful with what we have been dealt? It is a pretty controversial subject I know, however what worries me sometimes is the reasons of some people and I stress some people  for going down the route of having these procedures.

Do we women realise that men generally like women with curves? I think possibly not! Society and the media tells us to be as thin as possible and how acceptable it is to be a size zero. Do we think that men(or women) like huge lips filled with botox? Some might, some might not. Do we think that men(or women) like false breast implants? Again some do, some don't. Whatever we consider doing to ourselves as enhancements I would seriously urge everyone to really think about WHY we are doing it! If it is so we attract love, attention and feel better about ourselves I question that this is not the right reason. I will advise one thing though to be safe  - to contact the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons http://www.baaps.org.uk/ you are guaranteed the right advice and qualified surgeons and the right advice on any procedures you are considering http://www.baaps.org.uk/procedures.

A lot of a person's beauty comes from the inside ... it has taken me many many years to realise this and to suffer a serious car accident to shock me into understanding that it is not all about how you look! Making the best of what we have is a MUST and looking after ourselves however I promise you that just because we may have had certain surgical procedures or enhancements it sure doesn't guarantee that we will be accepted by others or loved any more because of it. What people really look for if they are indeed genuine themselves is honestly, inner beauty and someone who is comfortable in their own skin.

Can we honestly say we are happy with who we are?

  1. Hey Shari,

    This is a great blog...it actually does what it says on the packet: "inspires" and makes readers think about what they have to be thankful for each day!

    As you write so intelligently about the cosmetic surgery industry, we'd really like to invite you to come write a Guest Blog for us on our site www.aurora-clinics.co.uk/blog about people like yourself who experience plastic surgery because they NEED it rather than want it...& sharing your views about how you do not feel cosmetic surgery should be taken for granted as an aesthetic measure.

    In return, we'd love it if you'd let us write a Guest Blog for you on how IF people feel the need for cosmetic surgery to improve their self-esteem, we agree with you that they should address underlying personal issues first, not expect that cosmetic surgery can "fix" other problems in their lives and ALL cosmetic surgery work should always look very natural. It should also be done by BAAPS-registered surgeons as you very rightly state. We'd be delighted to submit a draft for you to look over?

    Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully working with you in the future...keep up the great blog!

  2. Let's admit it. In this present world, beauty has its diverse definitions. Some people believe that beauty is only skin deep, but for some, it's the reverse. The exterior beauty plays a higher priority among others. Beauty may come from the inside, but in this present time, beauty must come from the outside as well. The only thing I always believe in is, once you know how beautiful you are in the inside, people will surely look to you as beautiful in the outside as well.
