There is no doubt about the fact that people fawn over celebrities all the time. There are multiple reasons for them to do so but one reason that seems to stand out the most is people’s attraction to their amazing looks. Celebrities in the entertainment industry are constantly lauded for their good looks which are sometimes compared to those of the Greek gods. As understandable as it is, this also translates into the reality that people are extremely obsessed with external beauty as well as putting famous people on a pedestal. Moreover, we are obsessively up for endorsing the idea of natural beauty while also ridiculing others for indulging in their needs. Another consequence of this idea is that as a society, we have also ended up making the topic of plastic surgeries something that is almost unapproachable. 

The Concept Of Cosmetic Surgery

Those who do understand it are further encouraged to deny it, and this also raises the bar for what is considered beautiful. Those who observe celebrities, who have had some kind of surgery done and want to appear like them, don’t know how because of the secrecy around surgery. Because of this, impressionable youngsters frequently feel bad about themselves for not having the same nose or lips as their favorite celebrity and we question why they still appear so “naturally gorgeous” at a very old age while they appear to have wrinkles from a very young age. 

A celebrity’s path to their current appearance is frequently unknown to the general public. This keeps us in a vicious circle of assuming celebrities are “all-natural,” comparing ourselves to them, and shamefully admitting when we have had surgery. Therefore, when celebrities are ridiculed for getting work done, the vicious cycle of keeping cosmetic surgeries an illicit activity is perpetuated more and more. Add to it the problematic intolerance for people’s individual decisions, and you can see why plastic surgery shame must end. 

Celebrities Discussing Their Cosmetic Surgery

Many of us undergo cosmetic operations to change a feature that makes us feel self-conscious about ourselves or our bodies, not just celebrities. There is nothing wrong with deciding to stick with something we dislike or make a few little changes to it. Every choice is correct as long as we make the decision. Below are some of the celebrities who have talked about their cosmetic surgery openly.

1. Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma admitted to having undergone “temporary lip enhancement” in an appearance with Vogue magazine after receiving several online trolls. She claimed that she had been using techniques for temporary lip enhancement and they are used along with some ways for applying makeup. This is the reason why her lip might appear different. 

She talked of her need to look a certain way in her movie with Ranbir Kapoor, Bombay Velvet. She was particularly appreciated for her response as it resonated with people and showed a sense of responsibility and accountability. She herself believed that she owed that honesty to her fans to remind them that she is just a human. 

2. Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Regarding cosmetic procedures, Priyanka Chopra has spoken out on a number of occasions. She had a polyp, which made breathing difficult for her. She revealed this in her autobiography Unfinished. Apparently, the polyp had to be removed surgically but the procedure did not go as planned. 

The doctor had mistakenly shaved her nose’s bridge while removing the polyp, causing the bridge to fall off. Her appearance had drastically changed, almost to the point that she looked like a stranger to herself. She had lost her identity, leading her to feel devastated and despondent. Her self-esteem along with her senses suffered because of this. She also did not feel any better as a result of the constant mocking and ridiculing of nicknames towards her.

3. Koena Mitra

Koena is renowned for being open about her operation and how it did not turn out as expected. Her bones began to bulge following the procedure. Only medication and fervent prayer, according to even the physicians, would cure that problem.

She talked openly about the horrific abuse people had shown her. She was initially made to stay at home. However, she had enough and began going out with her real face. She wouldn’t conceal anything. However, negative remarks were made about her and were even the cause of some of her closest friends quitting.

4. Shruti Haasan

Shruti not only came up about having her nose fixed, but she also stated some smart and genuine comments about why concealing cosmetic surgeries and surgery-shaming should stop. She brought up the fact that if any actresses claim they haven’t done it, they are obviously lying because people’s faces don’t alter that much. 

However, she simply wanted to talk about it and while she does not mean to endorse it, what she was attempting to convey is that it might be just as normal as mere hair coloring, such as Indian women feeling the need to bleach their complexion, or color their hair. Right, it’s the same thing.

She also emphasized the necessity of recognizing that one does not absolutely go through the decision of getting work done, and it is critical to accept a person’s personal preference. You don’t have to fit in; you’re just supposed to do your job. If a lady in her 40s wants Botox because it causes her to feel better, that’s her option. Similarly, if she doesn’t, that’s also her choice. It is something she believes that she should be open and honest about her choices.

Conclusion 

We are all wonderful just as we are. Whether we have big lips or a robust body, the perfection of every individual rests in our flaws. However, many of us have insecurity about particular traits because we are human. It might be our lips, skin, or nose. The choice of whether to modify it or accept it, however, is only ours.

Our system not only puts a lot of pressure on women, especially female personalities, to seem “perfect,” but it also shames them for admitting to striving toward that objective. Can women ever simply exist?
