Question Statement :

Cosmetic surgery involves both surgical and medical techniques and it is specifically concerned with maintaining normal appearance, restoring it, or enhancing it beyond the average level toward some aesthetic ideal. The compulsion to change one's body is often a symptom of a deeper mental instability. It should be treated as a problem, not encouraged with surgery. Research indicating that breast augmentation patients are four times more likely to commit suicide compared to other plastic surgery patients and raises questions about the mental health of women who choose implants. It's only a plaster patched over a much deeper problem. There are also studies that show negative psychological effects on patients after their surgery has been completed. Hence, cosmetic surgery should be banned.

What affect does the following statement have on the given argument? "Cosmetic surgery is unfair, for only those who can afford it have access to it."​
