Since when is it ok to judge people on their plastic surgery? Britta introduced me to this website. In Budapest, Hungary they have this pageant to "promote the benefits" of plastic surgery. At first I was not quite sure what I think of this situation. On of the judges said, "Hungarians used to laugh about plastic surgery but it's time for Hungarian women to care more about their appearance. They are the most beautiful in Europe." I just don't understand how getting plastic surgery is beautiful. I definetely think that there are some good causes of plastic surgery. For example: if you have nose problems, getting your airway opened more. That is a good way to use plastic surgery, but getting plastic surgery to show off in a pageant that's crazy! Just think if this story was leaked to American teenage girls. They already have enough negative images of body image. We need to let these teenage girls know that beauty should be all natural and healthy. Some of the girls in the Miss Plastic Hungary pageant were 18 years old. Just think when they turn 50 they could look like Joan Rivers. There is a positive aspect of this article, it shows how beauty is viewed in other countries. I'm very interested in other opinions of beauty. Don't get me wrong though this isn't something to be proud of. I don't think they should judge girls on how good their plastic surgery looks. Overall, I think this pageant is wrong and should be reconsidered.

Sadly, beauty pageants celebrating plastic surgery aren't only in other countries. Check out this story where we learn that Miss California USA officials lent a woman $5,200 to have her breasts augmented!

You are completely right about how plastic surgery can benefit in some ways, even though it is completely useless. In the near future do you believe plastic surgery may be needed in certain aspects? It is a way for women or men to flaunt their bodies to people who are nothing to them, its horrible.
