When I wrote, sordid fallout of plastic surgery, I meant that a number of professional surgeons noted later that they would not have taken Jackson’s money and the ones that did not warn him of the consequences clearly had no ethics.

At present there still is no regulation and plastic surgery is now as common as a nail job.

But then again, what can you except from a society that pushes legal painkillers and other prescription drugs that are longterm just as harmful as the illegal ones.

It revolves around one thing, manipulating fear. Fear of not fitting in, fear of not fulfilling standards of beauty and so on.

Nothing new.
