I just wanted to know what everyone thought about my thesis statement on cosmetic surgery. I am writing a persuasive essay and I'm not for surgery so I'm trying to persuade others to see my point of veiw. So, I was wondering; does it need improvement or should I leave it be?

Here it is...

"Cosmetic surgery continues to become a solution to dealing with larger issues like low self esteem and depression; instead surgery itself has become an issue."

"Cosmetic surgery continues to become a solution to dealing with larger issues like low self esteem and depression; instead surgery itself has become an issue."

How about avoiding the semicolon by saying it this way:

"Instead of being the solution to larger issues like low self-esteem and depression, cosmetic surgery has become the issue."

You know... you do have a point. -_- I didn't even think about writing it that way.

I appreciate your reply, thank you. :)
