Slide 1: IntroSlide 2: Definitions
Slide 3: Why did I choose this topic?
Interest in cosmetic surgery: increasingly popular, especially with highly profiled individuals
Links to body image: societal beauty standards
Relevance to future ambitions: interest in medicine, not directly the course I want to study
Slide 4: Aims and objectives
1. Linkage between cosmetic surgery and body image
2. Effectiveness of cosmetic surgery - are alternative methods in treating BDD better
than cosmetic surgery, if minor procedures are more effective than major, Is it worth
undergoing cosmetic procedures in order to gain self-confidence
3. Achieve a 5000 word essay at the end
Slide 5: How did I approach the project
Checked the availability of sources. Allowed me to ensure that there was enough information
to write about on my final essay
Gantt Chart- allowed me to set my own deadlines. Also allows me to ensure that all my tasks
are completed and do not cumulate
Reliability of sources: made sure they were valid and kept track of all the sources I used
Slide 6: Research
Treatment barriers of BDD: psychological disorder, everything has different experiences
Ethical issues: advertising companies make CS as an opportunity for business instead of a
source of help. Unqualified surgeons; earn higher income
Benefits of cosmetic surgery; results are instant, long-lasting very accessible
Being more attractive → more successful. Study on more attractive real estate agents who
sell more expensive estates. Pressure on everyone to attractive in order to be successful
Slide 7: Conclusion
CS should not be the primary treatment → negatives outweigh positives however it can be
used correctly if done for self-motivation and patient research their doctor
Slide 8: Problems faced
Initial statistics around the world→ used UK based stats to keep it national
Personal opinions are subjective→ goes with the reliability of sources
Using sub-Qs in essay to ensure reader is not lost
Slide 9: WWW and what didn’t?
Managed to avoid personal bias → CS is topic where it can be very easy to form a strong
opinion w/o doing any prior research also summarised key points per source
Found a lot of negatives → struggled to balance my essay on my first draft which led me to
keep adding more sources to research on → spent more anticipated time
Slide 10 What I would do differently
Find positive argument then a negative one- easier to balance essay
I would have liked to have interviewed a cosmetic surgeon → get an local professional
opinion and see if it differentiates to the other opinions I obtained
Spend more time critically analysing each source
Slide 11: Lessons learnt
Time management → importance to make sure you complete tasks when you set them.
To not procrastinate → will leave tasks last minute, notes not high quality if in a rush
Interpret professional sources → use a lot of jargon hard to simplify the key points
Accepting criticism from others → allowed me to improve what I have already done
Slide 12: END
