True reasons for cosmetic surgery?

i'm doing research on the differences between cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery - and the stereotypes that accompany the comparison.

i came to the conclusion that the problem doesnt lie with the surgeries themselves but the reasons for the procedures...

but i'm not sure what the reasons are...is it society? any thoughts?

I would have to say that if you look at the big picture...its society. Cosmetic surgery, to me, is for people who WANT to look different and reconstructive is for those who WANT and/or NEED to look different. I say "want" and "need" for reconstructive because if a woman has a mastectomy (removal of the breast) she can have reconstructive surgery afterwards to lessen the scar or flatten the tissue OR she can opt to not having it at all. I'm not going to go into the reasons why people have cosmetic or reconstructive surgery becasue there are so many, but cosmetic is getting lots of business because of society and its ****** up norms.
