Género y cirugía estética en el cuerpo femenino

This article aims to investigate about the constitution of females body respect to the phenomenon of cosmetic surgery, to fulfill this objective was proposed a qualitative research using information gathering by means of a scheme that is divided into six moments: the construction of gender identity, the sex/gender system, the patriarchy, the political body, discussion in relation to conceptual elements, the practice of cosmetic surgery and finally the conclusions. The gender is an inseparable social and historical construction of culture and is embodied by individual bodies. The patriarchal system is characterized for highlighting in the female figure the body image as a sexual symbol for others. Gender identity is constructed based on social and cultural relationships that determine the characteristics of the feminine and masculine in relation to the body schema, attitudes and behaviors that are expected in each gender through a historical process. Hence it becomes evident in our consumer society the need to go to cosmetic surgery to modify parts of the female body as a differentiating practice. The problem is that both the operated part and the woman herself, becomes an object of merchandise and exchange in order to have a place for herself in society
