When an individual decides to make a physical change, like Montag's plastic surgery, family can be directly effected. Like Montag revealed, her physical alteration almost ended her marrige and it destroyed her realtionship with her mother. It could also cause an inconvience on family because they may be required to take care of indivdual for an extended amount of time. If this decsion is not supported by family it could be extremely difficult for a person that is already in a vulnerable place. In addition, no parent wants to see their child under-go plastic surgery to achieve Hollywood "perfection". A result of physical alteriations it could be very difficult for parents or spouses that are against this decison.

Before a person decides to make extensive changes on ones self doctors should have to inform patients of all the possible repercussions. Doctors should be required to assess their patient and why they want surgery first. They also should inform patients that surgery isn’t going to make you instantly love yourself. One must love who they are on the inside before choosing to undergo surgery because surgery wont change who you are . Many individuals also do not know that after surgery it is common for a person to acquire post surgery depression. If the Doctor responsible for Montag's surgeries had gone over all of the risks associated with surgery it could have caused her to reevaluate her surgery.
