The Price of Beauty: DIY Plastic Surgery

I never thought it would come to this. We live in a culture obsessed with beauty by any means necessary. Good Morning America reported a story about a woman who injected silicon in her lips to make it plumper. She also wanted reduce a small scar on her face. She bought a cheap product online and set out to perform her own surgery at home. The result was a disaster. She then realized she should have accepted herself as is. What an afterthought! It is so disturbing to me the extent some women are willing to go for appearance's sake. Imagine sticking yourself with a needle in hope a fuller lips will make you feel better about yourself.
