Lessons From A Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

By Ritisha Sharma


One day, your under confident and self-conscious side looks in the mirror, you see your lips and you feel insecure because they are thin as a rail so you take an impulsive decision to get plastic surgery. You go and get lip fillers, come back, you look in the mirror to admire your face but then, your under confident and self-conscious side is back and then it stares at you too much and you see that your nose doesn’t look good. So, you go to the clinic again, get a nose job done, come back, look at yourself in the mirror again but… it still doesn’t feel right. At this point, you get so frustrated that your self-conscious side looks way too much at your flaws- your face doesn’t look good, you need implants, maybe a neck lift as well, your jaw needs some work and overall, according to your anxious self, you look like an ugly package of imperfections. So. Again. You go to the clinic hoping to turn into a beautiful package of perfections. You come back and yet, it’s still not good. To make it worse, you start receiving hate for being fake and so, you start feeling so inhibited that you want to go back. But you see, what is done cannot be undone.





This is the cycle of running towards perfectionism. But in reality, you can never achieve it. In reality, perfections are ugly and imperfections are beautiful. You know why they say a perfect person is not happy, because they are still looking at their flaws and if they are able to look at their weaknesses that actually means that they are not perfect. It’s the law of nature that you can never be perfect, no matter how hard you try. And you know why they say to accept our imperfections, because that is what makes us imperfectly perfect.
