Surgery for the Right Reasons

At We Know Beauty, we're in the plastic surgery business, so our top plastic surgeons quite obviously don't have any moral objections to people wanting to foster a more positive self-image through cosmetic surgical procedures. At the same time, we believe very strongly that pervasive objectification culture that exists in today is just plain wrong.

A current and clear example of this is being covered this week by Plastic Surgery Portal. Venezuelan mannequin manufacturer Eliezer Álvarez is reportedly under fire for making alterations to his mannequins that promote and exploit many of the stereotypes and impossible expectations placed on women's bodies in society today.

Objectification is wrong, no matter whom the object is. Cosmetic surgery is ideal for people who want to improve their self-esteem and make a positive change in their life. But that is a decision that should be made in good conscience and for the right reasons—not out of shame or feelings of inadequacy. At We Know Beauty, our team of board certified plastic surgeons will sit down with clients for a thorough consultation to explore the best possible course of action in each individual case. Whether you are interested in a rhinoplasty or a tummy tuck in Beverly Hills, We Know Beauty can help improve your life without your feeling disrespected or humiliated about your body.
