Beauty Perfection and idolising

Beauty Perfection 

Perfection Definition: 
dictionary.reference.com/browse/perfection

  • Completeness and flawlessness. The highest degree of proficiency, skill or excellence as in some art. Superbness, immaculateness, exemplariness.   

Like the character Dorian Gray, most people want to be young and beautiful forever; until quite recently, new surgery and medical treatments can be undertaken to prolong the look of youth. This is something sort after by many people in the 21st century, people who can afford to have surgery, change the way they look to seem more beautiful in the eyes of idles made in the media.   

Many people of the 21st century want the same as Dorian Gray; to be able to stay young and beautiful forever. People have obsessed over this want and then taken drastic measures to stay looking a certain way, in some case this can go terrible wrong. 

notes: 
inspired by dorian gray, 
stay young forever 
peoples obsession with staying young, especially in the younger ages 
looking in mirror, vanity 
'dorian gray' lifestyle in 21st century, people want to be able to do what they want and never face the conciseness

This image shows Janet Jackson before and after her plastic surgery, in the before picture she looks natural and young, wanting to keep her youthful looks she turned to plastic surgery. In most cases I find that plastic surgery i.e. botox, makes someone look obviously fake and very stiff. Personalty I prefer a natural look, as you cannot change fate or stop ageing. She has also had a nose job to try to change the size of her nose; this is something that is becoming more and more popular with women who want to look like the 'idolised' western woman.

This is another example of plastic surgery, in this case the model had a face lift. I think in this example the face lift has made the appearance of her more appealing. Although I think she looks younger and more appealing, I also believe that no amount of surgery can stop the effects of ageing and it should be accepted by many people who try.

Another example of a nose job, modelled by Kim Kardashian. Many people can be influenced by what they see in the media, and especially by people who idolise celebrities who have work done. This can result in more and more people feeling self conscious about their face and bodies, and result in more plastic surgery.
