Surgery that can improve the way a person looks is become more and more popular in the United States. This kind of surgery is call cosmetic surgery, and both men and women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive in their jobs.
Men especially are beginning to turn face-lifts, liposuction, and implants to help them look younger. As companies develop and move younger employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. A younger look through cosmetic surgery may give an older employee a few more years on the job. These operations are not without danger, however.
One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the bags under her eyes. She described the operation as terrible. She said.”When he started cutting, I was fully awake. Even though he’d given me an injection near my eyes, I saw everything.” She went on to explain, “ I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was scraping away fat underneath my eyes. It took about ten minutes. After he finished, I felt I could not walk.” Her trouble did not end after the operation. For two weeks, her eyes were swollen almost completely closed; and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.
