Evolution continually selects the best genes to proliferate the
species. Emerging cosmetic plastic surgeries allow us to bypass our
genetic code and cheat our naturally predetermined appearances by
altering the perceived external flaws and ignoring the intact internal
code where the “flaws” remain. Without these self-identified unwanted
physical attributes, people who otherwise might not have been
perceived as desirable mates for procreation allow themselves to be
perceived as desirable enough to pass on their genes. TV shows are
allowing us to witness the advantages over evolution that can be
gained with the right amount of time and money. What we see on the
outside is not necessarily what we are going to get on the inside,
genetically speaking. With more and more people flocking to cosmetic
procedures at younger ages, doctors and consumers need to understand
and discuss the importance of this dramatic misrepresentation to the
opposite sex. While there is a right to undergo the procedures, those
who do so prior to having children, and even those who do not, are
faced with important affective choices within a number of different
relationships that need to be considered for both now and the future.
