These surgeries and diets are very unhealthy for the human body; there are many possibilities for error, especially if a surgery goes bad and something happens to that person. The extreme diets can cause malnutrition, and cause them to be anorexic. Then people who see these models feel the need that they should look like them and then use the same techniques they are using. As a society, people are not happy because they do not get what they want, yet have what they need and still feel empty
