Why do people feel the need to ‘enhance’ their body image?
Pressure from the media
Feel more feminine
To attract attention from the preferred sex
To ‘fit in’
But why then would some people choose to surgically decrease the size of their breasts?
Health reasons
Fit better into clothes choice
Don’t like the excess attention
Want to be treated differently
Should health be of higher priority than vanity?
The dangers of surgery have never been so severe with the increase of people wanting body modifications and an increase of cheaper surgeries available.
Here is a link of an example of the number of cases against surgeries: http://www.tmz.com/2007/11/13/patient-to-dr-adams-you-botched-my-boobs/
Due to the fast way of life in Western culture people are looking for short cuts around such things as breast enhancements. An example of this is: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/health/s/204/204033_quickfix_boob_jobs_over_lunch.html. The link shows the new phase whereby the patient is put under local anesthetic and the breast augmentation procedure lasts one hour.
Are such enhancements due to personal choice?

Have the pressures of Western Society become ‘harmful’ to our impression of body image?
