Plastic Surgery Say Whaaa?

Although competing for plastic surgery is looked down upon, the shows still manage to somehow suck us into the show. They are justified by the networks that air them because they say that this is not "reality" and people should know that this is not okay; that it is for entertainment purposes only. However, people do take these shows seriously. I think the purpose of these shows is purely entertainment, and for the contestants free plastic surgery. I defintitely believe that everything in "Hollywood" is connected in some way or another, and you know that the glamorization of plastic surgery on these television shows is anticipated by the high-priced plastic surgeons. I looked up the statistics and full-on invasive plastic surgery rates seemed to have decreased since 2000, although minimally invasive procedures such as Botox have gone up 77% since 2000. Heres the link to see for yourself: Plastic Surgery Statistics. Personally, I really do not like shows such as Bridalplasty, but I will admit I have gotten sucked into watching it a couple times. I believe that the show's implications are to send a negative message to girls saying "plastic surgery is normal and everyone does it." Using plastic surgery as entertainment value is not okay in my opinion. There have been previous shows like Bridalplasty but without the plastic surgery part, and because people are believed to not be responding to that anymore, they figured adding plastic surgery to the mix would add a more exciting layer onto the previously existing show.
