Surgery(外科,手术) that can improve the way a person looks is being more and more popular in the　 United Stated. This kind of surgery is called cosmetic surgery (整形手术), and both men and　 women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as　 keeping competitive in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn to face-lifts, liposuction　 (taking fat out of the body), and implants (putting man-made parts into their bodies) to help them look younger.　 As companies downsize and move younger employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. A younger look through cosmetic surgery may give an older employee a few more years on the job.

These operations are not without dangers, however. One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the bags under her eyes. She described her experience as terrible. She said, “When he started cutting, I was fully awake. Even though he’d given me an injection(注射) near my eyes, I saw everything.” She went on to explain, “I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was removing fat under my eyes. It took about ten minutes. After he finished I felt I couldn’t walk. I was so weak.” Her troubles did not end after the operation. For two weeks, her eyes were swollen and almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.

Liposuction is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the United States. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the places where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine is then turned on, and the fat is taken right out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems can happen after the operation. He warned, “Irregular lumps(块) and loose skin can result from this operation. If it is not completely done, liposuction can produce a very lumpy result.” Patients often must have more liposuctions to correct the problem.
