Manipulating the body

All over the world us humans are known to physically manipulating the body to what we wish for. In our day in age plastic surgery is a massive craze where people are addicted to surgically changing their body into what they think is perfect. for example, enlarging the breasts, lipo suction, face lift, nose job...the list is endless.

After researching into various tribes (click here read my post on the african Nuba tribe) I have found that when first seeing their scars and what they have to go through to achieve this, is just completely bizarre! However, it is exactly the same concept of plastic surgery, many people in our culture go through so much pain to achieve their desired look. We are just so use to plastic surgery in our era.
Below is an article I found upon plastic surgery statistics and the fact that the number of people doing so is increasing!
