There are plenty of good reasons to seek plastic surgery. Maybe you’re looking to boost your confidence or to change a feature that has always bothered you. It’s a decision that should be made only after serious consideration. A board-certified plastic surgeon can help you make the right decision, but even before making an appointment, it’s worth confirming that you aren’t seeking surgery for the wrong reasons.
Pressure from someone else
The decision to have any kind of cosmetic surgery should be yours and yours alone. While it may be beneficial to ask for the opinions and advice of trusted friends, family, and your significant other, it’s crucial that you make the final decision without feeling pressure from anyone. Having surgery because your partner or someone else has pressured you can lead to disappointment and resentment, so proceed with caution.
Emotional healing
While cosmetic surgery can result in feelings of confidence and improved satisfaction with your looks, it’s important to avoid unrealistic expectations that it will change your life or solve all your problems. Individuals struggling with depression or body dysmorphia should seek appropriate treatment before considering any surgery.
‘Revenge surgery’
If you’re thinking about using plastic surgery to get back at an ex or a romantic rival, think again. Any immediate satisfaction you might feel will soon pass, and you will be left with an outcome that might not be in your best interest. Instead, think about what you really want and go from there.
