The rise in plastic surgery is influenced by patriarchy, and physiognomy. While both have their influences, the increasing influence of social media and affordable procedures are also factors. In fact, more than half of all cosmetic surgeries are requested by women. Cosmetic surgery is on the rise due to growing demand for corrective and aesthetic procedures. The following article looks at three factors that may be responsible for the rise in popularity of plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery has been influenced by patriarchy and physiognomy.
Korea's rise in plastic surgery stems from deep-rooted patriarchy. Beauty is associated in Korean culture with occupational success. Women are taking an active role in achieving economic independence. The patriarchal structure of society reflects this obsession with maintaining beauty. These studies reveal that women are increasingly opting for cosmetic surgery to improve their aesthetic appearance.
Cosmetic surgery, which alters the physical appearance and alters identity, reduces women’s agency. Cosmetic surgery is a common practice that creates a homogenized culture, and it alienates women. It also reifies a dominant idea of beauty, and reifies the sex-based cultural norm. Additionally, cosmetic surgery has been linked with an increase of monoculturality and loss of women’s agency.

Affordable procedures
Even more complex procedures, cosmetic surgery can be expensive. Most people can't afford to pay for these treatments without their insurance. Many plastic surgeons offer payment arrangements to help patients spread out the cost of their procedures. Some payment plans charge interest or a deposit. Patients can pay a monthly fee and may make payments at pre-determined intervals. Cost of your surgery will be determined by how much money you have to pay upfront.
If you are tight on budget, consider a procedure which targets the skin and pockets that are fatty. Most liposuction can be done outpatient with a very short recovery period. They are one of the most cost-effective plastic surgery options available. Patients often see results as soon as their procedure is completed. The popular tummy lift targets loose skin, excess fat, and the lower and mid-sections. This procedure can be used to correct loose skin around the neck and chin as well as improve the appearance of the entire face.
Influence of social media
Researchers found that people who use social media more often are more likely to desire cosmetic surgery. This may be due to their dissatisfaction regarding their bodies and their increased use on social media. These findings show that social media is having a larger impact on aesthetic needs than people might think. The research also suggests that social media may also play a role in the attitude toward cosmetic surgery. This is especially true for young people who may be influenced by images and information online about cosmetic surgery, such as before and afterwards photos of others, and information and contests about it.
The majority of the participants in the study were Caucasian women and Caucasians, and had never had a cosmetic procedure. Most participants were not interested or interested in plastic surgeries, but they were involved with social media and used Snapchat and Instagram. Because these apps are heavily image-based, they are more likely than others to place emphasis on their appearances, and to seek out procedures they see in photographs. This can lead to users being influenced.

Increasing cases of cosmetic surgery gone wrong
Women are having more procedures on their faces to improve the appearance of their skin. These procedures can be dangerous, especially for patients with certain conditions. There are increased risks for people with chronic smoking habits, heart or pulmonary disease, as well as those who have had strokes or other health issues. Unskilled people are often performing cosmetic surgery in salons and spas. Many cosmetic surgery complications go unreported. This will make it easier to avoid future problems and promote safer procedures.
There are also emotional risks associated with cosmetic surgery. These can have long-lasting consequences, particularly for patients with mental health issues. This article explains some of the emotional side effects of cosmetic surgeries and offers suggestions on how to reduce them. Recommendations for people with low self-esteem or mental health can lead to more severe problems.
