The world of cosmetic surgery is constantly changing and improving, as are the attitudes towards it. More and more women and men are pursuing plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures as a solution to their body confidence woes, and with so many people widely trying to change their looks the procedures are becoming widely accepted by society.
This has been proven recently with a survey done by The Hospital Group, whereby they discovered that only 12% would keep their plastic surgery a secret.
Their first week of presenting the survey returned nearly 200 responses, finding that 45% would tell family and friends, 37% would tell everyone, and 12% wouldn’t tell anyone.
It shows that people are more open to not only changing their looks with surgery, but to admitting the procedures to people they know – meaning surgery is indeed losing the bad reputation it once had.

I think the younger generations are more likely to tell everyone about their surgeries and point out how it benefits them. Prior generations were more uptight it seems that those things are private and not something to be discussed. In the media today you are bombarded with more sexified ad’s which leads to more exposure and thus acceptance. With sexified ads’ though I believe that some people see their normal looks as something that needs to be fixed to be accepted. Overall though there is a general acceptance that if you have the means and desire to fix something then go ahead.
