The outcomes of this study are as follows: First, this study present four conclusions for the plastic phenomena in Taiwan in the following: 1. “The pattern of beauty” is created by the criticism of expert, the demand of culture or life style, and the stimulation of mass media in modern society. 2. Other people’s viewpoints and suggestions, which would affect plasticers’ decision-makings, are always acting or doing a crucial role. 3. The process of each individual to pursues her/his self-style is a conducted and remedial procedure of self-impression. 4. The individual is capable of integrating the viewpoints from society or other people to figure out or come up with her/his own viewpoints and strategies. Then, this study is based on the modern plastic wave and the idiom of “Whatever a beautiful lady does, the ugly ladies always follow without any self-consciousness” to explain the situations those people, who always want to be more beautiful, take a plastic treatment and be not really ugly as their thought. On the other hand, some beautiful ladies do the same things. In the pass, ladies compare their beauties with member of families or neighbors, but the comparison of objects become posers on the stage right now. When a beautiful appearance would cause innate unfair treatments that most of the people having beautiful appearance often can gain more special concerns than others, the people who don’t satisfy their appearance would like make a change. By the influence of media, the appearances of stars become standard one , which people want to plasticize or imitate to them. Meanwhile, the plasticers have to bear the risks of their surgery failure and this unsure situation would let plasticers to induce the contradictive mood in their mind. In fact, the motives of plasticers are within the scope of being a gift to herself/himself, following fashion, pursuing body art, and catalyzing from his/her colleague. Tracking the main culture leading, the media discussion , the self-awareness and the social-cultural custom, why people would like choose intrusive anaplasty would become a composition of an interaction by those reasons as above. Key words: anaplasty/plastic, body autonomy, self-awareness, adjusting impression, and criticism of expert.
