Tony Rapu, a senior pastor at
House of Freedom, says plastic surgery is not bad as erroneously believed in
some quarters.
The pastor, who is also a medical
expert, took to his Instagram page to share his perception on the controversial
issue.
Plastic surgery is a medical term
involving partial or complete restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the
human body. The two major forms of plastic surgery are reconstructive surgery and
cosmetic surgery.
It has remained a controversial
issue, with many often interpreting the practice through religious and moral
lens.
But offering his own perspective
on the issue, Rapu, clad in a medical apparel and seated in what looked like a
threatre, explained that the motive for undergoing a plastic surgery is what
counts.
According to him, people can
undertake plastic surgeries to correct perceived deformities in their body
which stifles healthy living.
“The Bible is silent about
plastic surgery, and there is really nothing in it that tells us it is wrong.
So, there has to be other considerations. If a person is very conscious about a
deformity or physical aspect of his or her body that is causing them some
emotional discomfort, then cosmetic surgery is certainly an option,” he said.
“There are women who had
mastectomies and have had to have breast implants and we know many many people
who have benefitted from surgeries, especially when such is non-invasive and
where side effects are minimal. There is really nothing wrong with enhancing
the quality of a person’s life by surgery, especially when the person is able
to breathe better, walk better or talk better.”
He however, cautioned against
opting for plastic surgery to appear physically attractive or acceptable by
particular group of people in the society.
“If surgery is for sexual
attractiveness, simply because you want to be found more sexually attractive,
then perhaps you are dealing with a deeper issue in terms of esteem, that
surgery would probably never be able to satisfy,” he said.
