Young at heart and in body!

Today people are living a lot longer than they used to, and their lives are much healthier,
too. Older people used to say that they were "young at heart" when they looked old but
felt young. Now, people want to look as young as they feel, and they are willing to spend
a lot of money on cosmetic surgery to make their wish come true. If an operation can give
people a younger face or body, then some people will have it and not worry about the
dangers or the cost. People have always looked for eternal youth, and maybe now they
have found it.

As well as trying to look younger, people can have operations for other reasons. They
can become thinner or fatter. They can have a different nose or more hair. They can even
become taller or shorter! In fact doctors can probably change almost any part of the body
that you are unhappy with... for the right amount of money! The number of people who
have these operations is continuing to go up. Last year in the United States, there was an
increase of 15 percent! And it is not only women who want a perfect body. Although the majority of operations
are performed on women, more and more men are choosing to have surgery, too. The most popular operations
for men include changing their nose or ears, and fat reduction. It is also worrisome that many young people are
having surgery. It is becoming so popular and cheap that some eighteen-year-olds are getting operations as
presents for their birthdays!

However, these operations can be dangerous, and they can also cause a lot of pain. Sometimes the operations
go wrong, and the person may look worse than before. There are some terrible stories, which have been shown
on some frightening television programs. Although there are problems, people continue to take the risks.
In the past, only the rich and famous could afford to pay for these operations, but today the prices are much
lower. Many more people today have the opportunity to look younger or to look like their favorite celebrity.
Although it costs money and is dangerous, millions of men and women still have surgery because they want a
perfect body.
