Plastic Surgery Is Like Psychiatry With Knives
a: Plastic surgery ~
b: psychiatry with knives
What: Layla Mahmoud, a 26-year-old woman, said cosmetic surgery is very much needed if some one is suffering from low self-esteem and something about her looks disturbs her. "Medicine in the first place is not about treatment; it's just improving the quality of life. Looks affect your life in general. I am very convinced plastic surgery is like psychiatry with knives," Layla said.
