| Sin Chew Daily also reported that well-known Singaporean make-up artist Yuan Sng spent S$10,000 over the last 19 years on plastic surgery to improve his look. The 39-year-old, who has done make up for actresses like Vicki Zhao and Gong Li, had his first plastic surgery when he was 20, with money earned from his part-time job. "While some people save up for designer handbags and expensive five-star meals, I prefer to look good," he said. Comments: WeiSiang: Is being good looking that crucial to maintain one's image. I beg to differ. Reason being, i have seen friends, associate, terribly gorgeous to begin with to not having a fulfill life. There is always something else lacking in her life. To add it on, being too good looking has it draw backs as well, in meeting a life-time partner, one may be insecure in which if the other party does really love him/her, or are they even attracted because of physical attributes. Though plastic surgery may have its pros, but personally, i would give plastic surgery a firm thumbs down, unless its for reconstructive purposes. WeeSoon: I do not find plastic surgery being such a bad thing after all. As everyone know, plastic surgery is not cheap, therefore if someone is willing to pay for it, there is no doubt that the new image belongs to he/her. It is not wrong for someone to pursue being good looking and they decide to use plastic surgery as their way to enhance thier image. Not to mention the pain they go through during surgery time, therefore i can say that the pain the effort and money they spend is equal to the new image they get. | ||
Chrystal:
Plastic surgery has always been a debatable topic and there will never be an absolute answer as to whether it is good or not. It all depends on the individual and just like every other thing, there are pros and cons to it. Society has always valued beauty and without even realising it, we are taught to prize beauty even when we are young. As the saying goes," Do not judge a book by its cover." However, does this principle still exist? Of course it does but only to a certain extent. This may be a harsh reality but we have to admit that everything is base on the "First Impression" in this modern society. Moreover, we will never have a second chance to change the "First Impression" we give to others. Inner beauty is definitely prizeless. But when someone first see you, they will not be able to see your heart. All they see are your physical attricutes. Therefore, I feel that it is logical why people are willing to spend extravagantly for the sake of looking good just like Yuan Sng.

Like wat chrystal has said plastic surgery is still very much a debatable topic. If a person reconstruct his features due to injuries or other birth defects i feel is perfectly fine however if a person reconstuct his appearance to enhances his appearance i think its the part where it's still debatable. What if someone reconstruct his feature not only to enhance his appearance but for some ulterior motives? It would definitely cause a stir in the community. However i applaud what Yuan Sng has done here. He admits that has done plastic surgery while some other celebrity or even just normal people would advoid telling other people that they had done plastic surgery before.
Koofang: Plastic surgery is so common to celebrities, or even commoners like us nowadays. Like what Chrystal said, this is a debatable topic indeed. Some people are very against plastic surgery, while some do not feel so. I personally don't find anything wrong with plastic surgery. People do plastic surgery to gain more confidence by adjusting their features that they're not satisfied with. In this society, with everyone judging one another based on looks, more of us would want to look presentable, hence creating the need of having plastic surgery to let one look better. Like Yuan Sng, perhaps he feels the need of having plastic surgery in order to be successful in his career, like how he is now.
