How To Decide If You Should Get Plastic Surgery
By Lloyd M. Krieger, MD-7577
The criticism of plastic as pandering to the vanity of people is unfair. The desire for self improvement is a natural impulse, and typically people who seek plastic are simply unhappy about an aspect of their appearance. They feel sufficiently displeased to pursue a solution to make themselves more content. In some cases, plastic even opens the door to greater self confidence.
Perhaps you want to ease back the inevitable effects of age, repair the sagging legacy of childbearing, or augment or reduce your breasts. Employing plastic as a means to improve physical traits is essentially the same as getting braces to straighten your teeth. No one would call you vain if you wanted straighter teeth. However, plastic is generally more drastic than teeth straightening, which is why you should carefully examine your feelings for wanting plastic surgery. It is not a step to be taken lightly.
In 2005, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons conducted a survey to study the motivations people had for plastic and their demographics. You might be surprised to learn that the study indicated that plastic is not limited to higher income people. Members of diverse socioeconomic classes have an interest in and even undergo plastic procedures.
According to the ASPS study, a broad range of age groups seeks plastic surgery, from ages 18 on up. Certainly the younger candidates are seeking cosmetic modifications, typically to the nose or breasts, as opposed to older candidates who also take the effects of aging into their plastic plans.
In depth interviews with a selection of survey participants in the ASPS study
revealed that most people who were interested in plastic were deeply bothered by a physical feature. They wanted plastic because they believed it would provide emotional, psychological, or social improvements.
As a practicing California plastic surgeon, it is part of my job to help potential plastic patients examine and understand their motivations. A patient with a healthy perspective will want to modify his or her body so as to overcome a physical trait that is personally unpleasant. The rest of the world may not be judging you as harshly as judge yourself, but your self-confidence comes from your self-judgment, which is at the heart of the matter.
If you are considering plastic surgery, such as breast augmentation Beverly Hills you should make sure to do some soul searching about your physical dissatisfaction and compare that carefully to the costs and risks of surgery. Make sure that the plastic surgeon you meet with is attentive to your goals and motivations. A plastic surgeon should not promise you the moon. Plastic is not going to turn you into a movie star. Plastic may be able to improve your body, but it will not produce a new body. However, plastic Los Angeles can be a positive experience that frequently helps people gain greater satisfaction with their physical appearances.
