1. Why is plastic surgery in
the news, and why is it
important?
Plastic surgery is in the news frequently, especially when a celebrity has a major
procedure done. It is important for the news to have stories on plastic surgery for
many reasons, one being to advertise for different procedures. Secondly, plastic
surgery is the news because it can also inform viewers on the risks of different
procedures if there is a current story about how plastic surgery went wrong. Just
like any surgery, whenever someone goes under the knife they are putting their life
on the line. When lives are lost due to plastic surgery, usually only celebrities are
featured on the news like such cases as Olivia Goldman who wrote The First
Wives Club and Donda West, Kanye West’s mom. Celebrities are featured due to
the fact that the news can share the tragic story of plastic surgery gone wrong, but
also have bit of excitement since its about a famous person.
