Often there is a disconnect between the self we present to the world and our “real” self. Some people try to blur the line between who they are inside and who they present to others. They try to erase their imperfections and resort to plastic surgery in an attempt to become the person they think they really are. However, plastic surgery does not change the “real” self. Today, many people feel insecure about their bodies. They feel like people will judge them more if their noses are crooked or their eyes are too close together.

She has to keep having surgeries to get her perfect “body”. We can try to do it. presenting yourself to the world in a way different from what it really is. Having too much plastic surgery can lead to an identity crisis, in which the person no longer knows who they are. Inside, that person is still the person. but he doesn't know what body he really wants.
