17. PLASTIC SURGERY IN
PERSPECTIVE OF
MORALITY
17

18. In the perspective of morality the activity of plastic surgery is immoral.
However in a certain reasons plastic surgery can be accepted as moral.
According to Jacques Thiroux, morality can be understood as a rule
prescribing between what is right and what is wrong.
Plastic surgery make someone look fake in front of the public.
Plastic surgery is also immoral in the perspective of religious morality.
Religious morality deals with a person‟s relationship with God.
18

19. In Islam, plastic surgery is permissible since medication is legally prescribed
and urged by Islam. However, cosmetic surgery used to change a person's
natural appearance for the purpose of beautification only is impermissible.
Furthermore, such as the Prophet’s saying (peace and blessings be upon
him) in the hadith that was narrated by `Abdullah ibn Mas`ud, “Allah has
cursed women who tattoo or have themselves tattooed, who pluck eyebrows
or have them plucked, and women who separate their front teeth for beauty,
altering what Allah has created.” (Al-Bukhari).
The hadith shows that the one who does it is cursed because it involves two
things mentioned in the hadith: pursuit of beauty and changing what Allah has
created. This is forbiden.
Even from other religious point of view, the view on this plastic surgery is
almost the same which is immoral.

20. “Plastic surgery for artistic development is a form of arrogance and vanity
(particularly for men) and is illegal unless the patient meets certain criteria
that allowed them to do the plastic surgery”. Jewish Ethics
So long as the action is beneficial and is not harmful to oneself as
well as to others, there is no valid reason to object. However, as for
physical enhancement (cosmetic surgery), there is the danger of the
person going overboard o be addicted and totally dependent on this
method to maintain their beauty “forever”.
20

21. PLASTIC SURGERY IN
PERSPECTIVE OF
EQUALITY
21

22. In equality, plastic surgery is legal for the certain people as society views.
Article 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "All are
equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal
protection of the law.” According to the United Nations, this principle is
particularly important to the minorities and to the poor.
Thus, the law and the judges must treat everybody by the same laws
regardless of their gender, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, without
privilege.
So, the minorities also defined to the people who does not has proper body
functions like the other human being does. They are, who, the people has the
right to get the equality to be like the others and to be treated by the people
who the majorities.
As Ronald Dworkin write in his essay „ What is equality?‟, sees that equality
and liberty as joined or as two sides of a coin. People must be allowed to live
freely within the resources they have.

23. As Ronald Dworkin write in his essay „ What is equality?‟, sees that equality
and liberty as joined or as two sides of a coin. People must be allowed to live
freely within the resources they have.
Highlight the point of his essay, „People must allowed to live freely‟, so the
people must be allowed to live freely and thus, as an equality to them, the
people must be allowed to made this plastic surgery.

24. PLASTIC SURGERY IN
PERSPECTIVE OF
JUSTICE
24

25. According to a scholar, Justinian, justice is the virtue which results in each person receiving his due. The
purpose and aim of justice is to represent justice as moral / natural entitlement. According to another scholar,
Jacques Thiroux, there are 4 basically ways in which goods van be distributed – as equally among people as
possible without regard to their abilities or merits, according to people‟s abilities , according to what they merit
or deserve and according to their needs.
In this case , people deserve to get what they want and what they needs in order to feel “normal” and
accepted by the society. According to Dr. Cutler , a plastic surgeon, plastic surgery is not about beauty, but,
about identity. For a woman who feels trapped in a body whish does not fit her sense of who she is, plastic
surgery or cosmetic surgery becomes a way to renegotiate identity through her body. Plastic surgery or
cosmetic surgery is about justice. For a woman whose suffering has gone beyond a certain point , plastic
surgery or cosmetic surgery can become a matter of justice – the only fair thing to do.
Furthermore, according to Jacques Thiroux every people deserve to get what they needs. For example,
accident victims , they undergo plastic surgery or to be specific reconstructive surgery because they have to.
Instead of having this surgery for beauty reasons , patient have it for medical or health reasons. People who have
been horribly disfigured in automobile accidents may have to have parts of their faces reconstructed.
25

26. In addition , according to Dr. Steve Buchman, children with severe mental impairments undoubtedly benefit
from plastic surgery and ultimately gain the functional tools that will help them lead a fuller life. Children whom
are looked upon by their peers or teachers as something different from other kids , can experience things that
really interfere with their development. Nevertheless, the more these children these are accepted by their peers ,
teachers and society and the more interactions they have with others , the better they learn.
Teachers may underestimated the intellectual abilities of children with facial deformities and have
correspondingly low expectations for their achievements. By addressing the deformities , the subconscious bias
of parents , teachers and society may diminish , giving the child a better chance to be exposed to positive
feedback and increase their learning capability.
In a nutshell, plastic surgery , cosmetic surgery or even reconstructive surgery, is a method in order to help
the unfortunate and unlucky people regardless of their gender and abilities. Plastic surgery is absolutely a
justice – the only fair thing to do for people who does not feel normal because of accident and lack of self –
esteem. Furthermore, for children with mental disabilities and facial deformities, it will help them lead a fuller life
for being normal.

27. PLASTIC SURGERY IN
PERSPECTIVE OF
FREEDOM
27

28. Freedom is a right, power, ability to decide or oneself what to do and how to live according to one interest,
desire, taste determination or thought of the mind in order to realize one‟s aims.
John Locke wrote in his book „Two Treatises of Government‟ (1689) that “ no one ought to harm another in his
life, health, liberty or possessions”. For Immanuel Kant (1724-1804),the German philosopher, morality arises and
can only arise from freedom. According to Dias, the word „freedom‟ brings 3 meanings, which are freedom from
power. For example, a freeman is one who is not under anyone‟s power. Next, freedom to act (liberty).For
example, free speech implies the absence of duty not to speak. Lastly, freedom from disability (capacity, the
acquisition of powers and liberties).For example, coming of age.
There‟s no doubt that enhancing outer looks can help the inner beauty shine through since there is freedom to
choose anything. This freedom of choice which has led to an increase in the number of people choosing to
undergo procedures like non-invasive cosmetic surgery treatments in order to help them feel their best. The
instant results and confidence-boosting effects of these treatments, including teeth-whitening, Botox jabs and
laser-hair removal made people all over the world flocking to clinics for a boost.
A recent study has revealed that women who chose to improve their looks out of their own accord experience
a boost in confidence and self-esteem. Many believe that their inner beauty and true personalities shine through
after these confidence-boosting procedures, and that anyone should have the freedom to choose to look and feel
their best.
And it‟s not only women, as men are jumping on the surgery bandwagon for many reasons. A recent study
even proved that men believe looking good will help them stay employed, as it will encourage confidence in
client meetings and in the boardroom. When it comes to freedom of choice, no one wants to be told what to do.
Many magazines around the world have been proactive in promoting cosmetic surgery as a personal choice that
many women will feel empowered by.
Many people choose to oppose the freedom of choice to undergo cosmetic surgery. People decide what the
best for themselves. Whether that means a skin treatment or something more, like breast surgery, it‟s up to you
to decide. 28

29. Despite cosmetic surgery's rise in popularity in recent times, the
history of these procedures dates back centuries. It was originally
used as a treatment of body parts damaged by injury or war. The
more society grew, the more important physical beauty began to
become. There are only a few people who currently still hold to the
belief that beauty is merely on the inside. In contemporary terms,
beauty is considered to include physical appearance, especially
among women. The fact that a strong majority of people now view
cosmetic surgery in a positive light, there are still a few that hold to
the idea that it is a trap to maintain society's unjust standards of
beauty. The truth of the matter is, cosmetic surgery allows freedom of
choice: the choice to change appearance, improve self-image, and
create fantastic first impressions. Miami Cosmetic Surgery allows
people that suffer anxiety based on society's standards of beauty to
choose to change their lives through cosmetic surgery. 29

30. Jocelyn Wildenstein: a US$4 million monster
Known by the press by the nickname of "The Bride of Wildenstein" --a reference to The Bride of Frankenstein--
, Jocelyn Wildenstein has allegedly spent almost US$4,000,000 on cosmetic surgery over the years, ending up as
one of the worst and most famous cases of plastic surgery addiction. But who did that happened?
Once upon a time, in the late 70’s there was a beautiful women named Jocelyn Wildenstein. Jocelyn really had it
made. She was a fresh-faced mother of two and married to an extremely rich art dealer. That is until she caught
her husband in bed with a 21 year old Russian model. Now, any normal person would just leave her husband and
take all of his money with her, right? Not Jocelyn Wildenstein! Instead she decided to win back her husbands love
and make herself more beautiful by going under the knife. Well, her husband left her anyways, but Jocelyn will
always have her plastic surgeon. 30

31. In conclusion, plastic surgery goes against the
perspectives of law, morality and equality but are
supported in the perspective of justice and freedom.
This is because plastic surgery is a change in person's
natural appearance for the purpose of beautification
and other reasons.
