This conceptual paper examines the impact of body image on Adolescents’ quest for cosmetic surgery. A reflective
analysis of the literature was utilized. Factors shaping one’s perception of own body was explained .The causes
and effects were also highlighted. The study has shown, that there has been a definite increase in the number of
teenagers undergoing various cosmetic procedures and that a correlation can be drawn between this quest and
poor body image, which could have alarming physical, social and emotional consequences. As for the causes the
study has concluded that the quest to achieve a better appearance is mainly due to the socially portrayed “ideal
beauty standards”. There is a consensus among researchers and medical practitioners that, the main pushing
factor towards going under the knife is social especially enhancement procedures. It was also found that; the
media and the rigorous capitalist’s campaign to boost consumerism is behind the rampant body idealization
culture. In addition, the study has also shown that the availability of advanced cosmetic procedures in some
countries has led to the increase of adolescents’ seeking body modifications. |
