The online controversy over the appearance of certain performers on the Academy Awards last weekend hasn't gone away yet. Yes, there's certainly a point at which cosmetic procedures and treatments may become too much of a good thing -- and the best plastic surgeons will try to steer patients away from that point. At the exact same time, however, every time someone criticizes a celebrity, or a noncelebrity, for their plastic surgery they're basically engaging in an act of aggressive, often meanspirted, busy-bodyism.
After all, isn't any medical procedure pretty much a matter involving a person, his or her doctor, and perhaps their loved ones? If you in none of those groups, it seems to us, your opinion of a medical procedure, be it a superstar's facelift in Beverly Hills or an accountant's gallbladder surgery in Boise, Idaho, is pretty much immaterial.
Of course, it's fun to gaze at impressive plastic surgery before and after pictures -- particularly if we are contemplating a similar procedure, but the moment we start judging the recipients, it's very likely we're starting to go too far. Of course, we don't think anyone's going to stop judging celebrities and their medical procedures but, at a certain point, it's worth asking ourselves why we care so much about something that really has nothing do with us.
