[ 본문 ]

In times past, plastic surgery was used primarily by victims and by old people to restore their appearance. But now cosmetic surgery is in vogue, especially among the very young. They save their money to pay for an operation, ask their parents to foot the bill, or take out a bank loan. Adults are usually worried about the possible side effects from the surgery, but the youngsters don't seem to worry about them at all.

Why do you think plastic surgery has become so popular among young people?

1. It is like any other fad, driven by peer pressure.
2. They want to have a more prestigious job in the future.
3. They want to marry a more desirable mate.
4. They are looking for self-satisfaction.
5. They want social acceptance.
6. They think looks matter more than anything else.
7. They are insecure and lack confidence.
