How Far Will We Go to Change Our Body Image?
WVe live in a society where appearance matters. How much it matters is clear from magazines, television shows, movies, and advertisements. It is clear from the number of diets hyped on talk shows and in bookstores. It is clear from the alarming number of young women — and, increasingly, young men — with anorexia and bulimia, from the celebrities that our youth, male and female, choose to idolize and emulate, and from the drastic increase in recent years in the amount of plastic surgery being performed. We exercise, count our carbs, and are acutely aware of the face that stares back at us in the mirror.
Cosmetic surgery has changed countless lives by correcting birth defects and other abnormalities. It does not save lives, although at times cosmetic surgery may be closely linked to corrective surgery, as when a cleft lip is corrected in conjunction with correcting a cleft palate or when plastic surgery repairs the ravages of severe burns once the burns themselves are no longer life threatening. A cleft palate interferes with one's health. A cleft lip is repaired primarily for aesthetic reasons. The scars left on a burn victim may require plastic surgery to help heal the psychological damage left after the body has healed.
Having a nose job or a breast enlargement purely for aesthetic reasons was once the sort of thing only movie stars and the extremely wealthy would have considered. Today many average citizens are enhancing or reshaping their bodies. For some, changing each imperfection becomes an obsession. Women are generally accused of being the most conscious of body image. The steroids that men take, though, improve physique as well as athletic performance — and increase the chances of lasting damage to the body.
The dangers associated with the use of drugs, diets, and plastic surgery to enhance body image are the frequent focus of argumentative speech or writing. The psychological dangers may be as grave as the physical ones. We must question why so many are willing to tamper with their physical appearance and wonder how they feel once the changes are made. To whose model of physical perfection are we aspiring? Is it right, for example, to seek to remove physical signs of ethnicity? Some regard such changes as a betrayal of the race. In changing what makes each of us distinct, are we giving in, as one author included here suggests, to "the tyranny of the normal"? How much are we willing to spend — how much money and how much pain or discomfort — to look good?
From Body Image and Adolescents
JILLIAN CROLL
BEFORE READING: What forces shaped your feelings about your size and shape during early adolescence? Did they have a positive or negative effect on the way you perceived your own body?
Body image is the dynamic perception of one's body — how it looks, feels, and moves. It is shaped by perception, emotions, physical sensations, and is not static, but can change in relation to mood, physical experience, and environment. Because adolescents experience significant physical changes in their bodies during puberty, they are likely to experience highly dynamic perceptions of body image. Body image is influenced strongly by self-esteem and self-evaluation, more so than by external evaluation by others. It can, however, be powerfully influenced and affected by cultural messages and societal standards of appearance and attractiveness. Given the overwhelming prevalence of thin and lean female images and strong and lean male images common to all westernized societies, body image concerns have become widespread among adolescents.
•    50-88 percent of adolescent girls feel negatively about their body shape or size.1-2
•    49 percent of teenage girls say they know someone with an eating disorder.1
•    Only 33 percent of girls say they are at the "right weight for their body," while 58 percent want to lose weight. Just 9 percent want to gain weight.3
•    Females are much more likely than males to think their current size is too large (66 percent vs. 21 percent).4
