Topic: Both positive and negative sides of plastic surgery

1. A board certified plastic surgeon. 7 Nov. 2009. Web. 8 Nov. 2009.
.
The article is about history of the plastic surgery. The history of plastic surgery began more than 4,000 years ago. Although reconstructive surgery was used in India in 800 BC, the history of plastic surgery moved very slowly for thousands of years, especially in European medicine. The modern, and more well-known, history of plastic surgery begins in the 1960s and 70s. I’ll deal with the two kind of plastic surgery, which is reconstructive and cosmetic.

2. Plastic surgery. Web. 8 Nov. 2009.
.
It covers definition of the plastic surgery. Plastic surgery has two branches, cosmetic surgery and reconstructive plastic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is concerned with improving the aesthetic appearance of a person, while plastic surgery may include this, or just the reconstruction (reconstructive surgery). Reconstructive plastic surgery is concerned with improving function. I’m planning to refer to explain what the plastic surgery means in my paper.

3. Cosmetic plastic surgery trends. Chart. Web. 8 Nov. 2009.
.
This statistic shows us Breast Augmentation increased 533% between 1992 and 2002. (I will search more recent statistic.)

4. Top reasons for plastic surgery. Daniel Berry, 18 Nov. 2008. Web. 8 Nov. 2009.
.
It article is the reasons why people get plastic surgery. Self esteem is a major reason people consider having plastic surgery. Health reasons are also a reason to consider a plastic surgery procedure. A qualified cosmetic surgeon can produce remarkable results for patients who wish to enhance their appearance.
This information germane with my work because I will deal with the reasons the cosmetic surgery rate increases more and more. I would use this after statistic about increasing rate of cosmetic surgery in my body part in research paper.

5. Pros and Cons of Cosmetic Surgery. Totallytiffany, 19 Apr. 2009. Web. 8 Nov. 2009.
.
The author argues nobody’s perfect so many people these days are not happy with their current body and today’s medical achievements make it possible to change a lot of problem areas to give you the look you most desire. But this article explains both the positive and negative of cosmetic surgery.

It was a big issue and not really good to hear that a person did a plastic surgery before, but as time goes by people are so open to do the plastic surgery. I think it's nice topic because so many people want to do plastic surgery for their beauty and by that better looking, they can be more confident. Good luck!! -Seong Kyung Kim
