In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, the men speak of Lenina and other women as "pneumatic." Since there is no attraction of one person for another that is other than superficial and physical, this term is the highest compliment. The smooth skin and "cushy" feel compose sensuality for the women of the New World and little else makes them attractive to men.
Nowadays in our youth-oriented and sensually-geared culture, appearances have taken on significant meaning. So, in order to be judged as adequate as the woman in Brave New World are, women have cosmetic surgery. Likewise, since "perception is reality" for all, men seek to remain young-looking. As in the New World, when people begin to look old, younger people give them little or no credibility and, in essence, throw them away just as the aged in the New World are terminated. The aged, like Linda, are repulsive to the children at the hospital, and they ignore her and the others who are dying.
After many types of surgeries when the skin is damaged, people tend to go for plastic surgery for instance post cancer surgery, post diabetic foot treatment after these surgeries too plastic surgery is done to enhance and give the flawless look. There are so many other benefits of Plastic surgery in India.
