And you can't say that it's *never* self-destructive on an emotional level. You know people go crazy over things like beauty, and having plastic surgery available to people who go crazy over themselves just fuels the fire (of crazy).
It's not always bad, but it's definitely not always good.

There is no such thing as perfection. There is such thing as an ideal, and one of those is what people usually strive for in the use of plastic surgery. If nothing is perfect, then there is nothing bad about change. All that is different is the amount that the change approaches or deviates from the ideal. If a session of plastic surgery helps the person approach an ideal, there is nothing wrong with it.
