7 reasons to avoid plastic surgery

The ancient Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle once said, "Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference." His wise words have stood the test of time.

Nowadays, more people prefer to go under the knife to improve their looks or size.
