Research Conducted on Breast Surgery Magazine Articles
Experts from Canada investigated the portrayal of cosmetic surgery and breast enhancement procedures in glamour magazines in a recent study.
The study reports that women’s magazines such as Cosmopolitan convey a positive image of plastic surgery as an option to improve natural looks.
Â
Moreover, it has been suggested that glamour magazines thoroughly inform the readers about the physical dangers of undergoing plastic surgery, but often miss out the negative effects in may have on the patient’s mental and emotional health.
Â
Andrea Polonijo, the author of the study which was carried out at the University of British Columbia, commented: “Alongside beauty, clothing and diet advice, women’s magazines present cosmetic surgery as a normal practice for enhancing or maintaining beauty, becoming more attractive to men and improving emotional health.”
The study also revealed that a very high proportion of articles in the researched magazines were about breast enhancement procedures and cosmetic surgery.
Celebrities who have gone under the knife to improve the appreance of their cleavage include glamour model Jordan, Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton and I’m a Celebrity jungle reality show participant Nicola McLean.
