Facial disfigurement only intensifies those emotions, experts say. Now these too can be removed. In spite of the difference these groups can make, half the students surveyed said they would not financially support organizations that perform humanitarian relief through cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Yet as cosmetic surgery continues to become available to more people in society the goal of health care becomes a question. Should it only be to help people survive or should it be to help people succeed.
Video cameras are everywhere.
Our image is being captured every time we step up to an ATM machine or enter a store. Maybe in the future the majority of these students will change their mind and demand that a patients aesthetics be covered by insurance as cosmetic surgery continues to be more acceptable and available. In the mean time here in America individuals will continue deciding if cosmetic surgery will increase their emotional, social, or professional status. At the same time individuals in underdeveloped countries will be thankful that the miracle of surgery has been able to give them the hope of living a normal life by fixing the disfigurements that marred their bodies and their lives.
