1. QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS
SUMMARY

2. ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR BODY IMAGE?
AND WHY?
Our questionnaire was answered by 8
females and 7 males, this correlates with the
answers to ‘Are you happy with your body
image?’ being fairly equal. As it is
stereotyped that women are more likely to
feel insecure than men. Some of the reasons
why people are happy with their bodies is
that the “interior is more important” and that
they “don’t worry about what people think”.
This represents the more confident people
within our target audience demographics.
Some of the reasons why people aren’t
happy with their bodies are that they have
“many insecurities”; they “dislike some
features” and want to “Change to fit in with
social expectations”. These answers

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
16-19 20-23 24-27 28-31 32+
The majority of people who answered
our questionnaire were aged between
16 and 19 which is our main target
audience as we want to help young
people considering plastic surgery
decide. 27% of the people who
answered were 20 to 23 years old; this
also helps our research as young
adults are also a large percentage of
people considering plastic surgery. In
asking our age range these crucial
questions it will help us structure our
documentary.

4. ARE YOU MALE OR FEMALE?

ARE YOU MALE OR
FEMALE?
Male Female
Our main audience is young females so
that is why we asked more women than
men. However we want to make an
example on how each gender differs on the
views of plastic surgery explaining why we
have asked almost as many males. In
getting the results from both men and
women we can make a good comparison of
how the answers are different.

5. WOULD YOU CONSIDER PLASTIC SURGERY?
AND WHY?
The majority of our audience has said
they would not consider plastic surgery
with 12 people saying no and just 3
saying yes. With people saying that they
are more self confident and that it is
expensive and could have complications.
This could show that people may have not
considered it because as a younger
person it doesn’t seem possible. Reasons
people said yes was that it will boost their
confidence and improve some
imperfections. This is the audience we
want to target our documentary towards
to help them decide.

6. DOES SOCIAL MEDIA AFFECT YOUR OPINIONS
ON PLASTIC SURGERY?
This shows that social media does effect
peoples opinion on plastic surgery making
it a valid point to bring up in or
documentary. This is due to the different
people being influenced by famous people
on places like Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat
etc. Especially more insecure people often
want to look like famous people.

7. IN WHAT WAY DO YOUR FAMOUS IDOLS
INFLUENCE YOU?
When answering this question the majority of the answers were how
famous idols look like and how they dress not how they act. This
shows the importance of appearance in the media as peoples
answers consists of “advertise plastic surgery”; “how they dress” and
“majority of celebrities have plastic surgery making me want it
more”. This shows that people generally think that the more perfect
you are perceived the easier it is to become famous. This is not
reality or truth and that is what we plan on portraying for our
documentary to help that younger female audience understand.

8. DO YOU FEEL A LOT OF PRESSURE TALKING
ABOUT YOUR BODY IMAGE? AND WHY?
This is a more balanced result with 6
people saying yes and 9 saying no.
Reasons for saying yes were like “not
comfortable” and “there is
expectations” but the most interesting
answer was “people assume men are
secure”. This strengthens the fact that
it’s not just teenage girls that are
insecure and want plastic surgery that
men also consider it meaning we
should also cater for men as well as
women in this documentary.

AND LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE? IF SO, WHY?
The majority of people answering the
questionnaire said they would like to look
like somebody else with examples of people
like Kim Kardashian and Perrie Edwards for

had plastic surgery; this shows that people
aspire to look like people who have had
plastic surgery. This differs from the male
aspirations who are people such as Alex
Gaskarth and Robert Lewandowski who are
men that haven’t had plastic surgery.

are conventions of a documentary and

professional appeal. This would suit the
subject of the documentary.

PRESENTER OR AN OFF SCREEN NARRATOR?

presenter meaning we will use an

12. HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK PLASTIC SURGERY
COSTS THE NHS EVERY YEAR?
The answers of costs varied from £20,000 to £100 million.
This shows that the audience is not educated on plastic surgery
and that our target audience could be educated by our
documentary. As the prices vary so much it shows that the
people who answered our questionnaire have a wide array of
opinions on how much plastic surgery costs showing that
people have both positive and negative views of plastic
surgery.
