What are the positive effects of cosmetic surgery
Enhanced Appearance
The primary goal and benefit of cosmetic surgery is to enhance your natural beauty, turn back the clock, and give you to a more youthful appearance. You can say cosmetic surgery helps you become an improved version of yourself.
Increased Self-Confidence, Improved Self-Esteem
When you’re looking your best, you feel good. An improvement in your physical appearance because of cosmetic surgery can boost your self-confidence and self-esteem in the workplace and social situations. You might feel more comfortable wearing certain types of clothes and participating in certain activities that you previously avoided because you were self-conscious about your appearance.
Physical Health Benefits
Certain plastic surgery procedures that are performed for cosmetic reasons can also lead to physical health improvements at the same time. For example, a rhinoplasty surgery may not only enhance the shape of your nose but also improve breathing. A breast reduction surgery may lead to a reduction in shoulder and back pain caused by the weight of overly large breasts. In this way, a surgery done to improve appearance can lead to a healthier body.
Weight Loss
Although the primary benefit of cosmetic procedures like liposuction is an improvement in body contour, some patients find it easier to keep the extra weight off after body contouring surgeries. This could be because the surgery allows one to become more physically active and lose weight. Or it could be because the procedure motivates one to make lifestyle changes, such as eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. This helps in losing extra weight, which, in turn, can have widespread health benefits with a reduced risk of conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.
Mental Health
The improvement in overall appearance and increased self-confidence can have immense mental health benefits. For example, many people find they are more comfortable in their own skin and have less social anxiety after their cosmetic procedure. Or they feel like they have more control over their lives, are willing to try new things, take on new challenges, or feel unstuck from a rut after a cosmetic procedure has given them the desired appearance.
Greater Opportunities
Studies have shown that attractive people not only look good but have better personal opportunities, such as attracting life partners. They also enjoy more professional opportunities. Studies suggest, for instance, that good looking real estate agents sell properties at higher prices than agents who are not perceived as attractive. Studies have also shown that attractive people earn higher salaries and are more likely to be selected for promotions.
