Please check out the following sentences. Are they acceptable?

(1) Cosmetic surgery is the lastest trend that arose from the advancement in medical technology.
(2) To have a face of an Angel and the body of the Devil is no longer a dream. Plus a successful surgery can boost one's self-confident as well.

Why would one want to have the body of the devil?

Good lord, but this discussion degenerated quickly.

Don't capitalize angel or devil, and don't use both Plus and as well. One or the other, not both.
