Body Image and Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is a common occurance now, with many women having some form of it, whether its botox or liposuction, each day in the neverending quest to look perfect. I decided it would be interesitng to look into how the media may play a role in this, and here are the websites I used to do so:

Unsurprisingly I found that the media DOES play a role in plastic surgery, with women who heavily watch plastic surgery documentaries being more likely to have it themselves.
