Plastic surgery is good idea for the ugly people but it must be performed with the well known surgeon and advance technology must be used otherwise it will even worse your skin.
Odd because I've read just the opposite: the "handsome" person gets the job more frequently (statistically significant) than an ugly person with the same qualifications.
personally fixing the appearance through surgery doesnt fix the problem of having the genes that caused the unattractive qualities and will still be passed on.
if some one wants to get surgery its fine with me... i just think its sad if its based on low self esteem.
plus if it was up to me everyone would be attractive and it would be genetic.
The fact that everything is Photoshopped to death is annoying, but I was mostly struck by the poor job that they did on those images he was editing in that video. There's editing, and there's editing so it doesn't look plastic. He was not doing the latter.
What annoyed me the most about that was that the woman he was editing was already in great shape and looked beautiful. Not back unrealistic standards.

I agree. Of course, you would know better than most due to your education and skills, but even my amateurish eyes saw that he was "airbrushing" it to what I like to call "porcelin" dull plastic look.
I posted the vid, not to showcase that guy's 30 minute haphazard shopping and interview with her, but to make a point about the ideas of plastic surgery. I personally believe that there is a link between this photsopping we see of our celebs and our obession with cosmetic surgeries. Even if a little, I think there is a connection between the two.
Hah, I'm entirely self-taught with Photoshop. Nine years of use will do that But yes, there are ways to use it to retouch while still looking realistic. It's called not over-smoothing the natural texture of skin.
(also noticed that the guy in the video is clearly not much of a photographer, and Photoshop can only do so much when the photograph itself isn't very good)
And yes, I definitely agree that there's a connection between the fact that just about every photo published has been over-retouched and an obsession with plastic surgery and looking 'perfect'. However, no one is perfect - not even celebrities on TV - and it's ridiculous to expect this sort of unrealistic perfection and beauty that doesn't actually exist outside of a computer.
