Can Cosmetic Surgery Make You Happier?
The topic of cosmetic surgery making people happier has many different facets. The whole concept of improving physical features has at its root the idea that happiness is the main objective. But is this objective a foolproof one?
Many studies show that many women who undergo breast enhancement surgery develop stronger self-esteem and higher confidence levels. Many also see their sex lives improve. This cosmetic surgery procedure has even shown to be such a boost to some patients' mood that anti-depressants aren't needed anymore. Women who elect to have this procedure done are making a proactive choice to change something they don't like about themselves or something that they feel they are lacking. That choice to change says, "I don't like looking like this and I am going to do something about it", which shows a subconscious change in attitude that can't be ignored.
But does this mean all who have cosmetic surgery feel better about themselves and, therefore, happier? The answer, of course, is no. People with deep insecurities may see these procedures as a quick cure-all for all of their problems and find the results give no satisfaction. For example, one study shows women who have had breast enhancement surgery are 75% more likely to commit suicide. This has less to do with the operation itself as with the pre-existing insecurities and depression of people drawn to cosmetic surgery. In those cases the quick fix is no fix at all.
A conscious decision to have realistic expectations dramatically raises a patient's chance at being happy with the outcome. If someone believes that cosmetic surgery can mend all their woes, they really ought to rethink their whole decision making process.
An alarming trend has seen our younger population, particularly young women, seeking out cosmetic surgery in recent years. They aren't looking to cover up the ravages of time as much as coveting physical characteristics they see in the prevalent media of the day such as television, film, and magazines. Advertisements and music videos subliminally market to their audience that fuller lips, larger breasts, and thinner bodies are not just desired to be successful and loved, but also necessary. The problem with this lies in the fact that younger people who choose cosmetic surgery are setting themselves up to continue having procedures done for a lifetime in an effort to attain perfection that cannot be achieved. This is especially true of botox, which typically lasts only three to five months and will need to be re-administered to regain the desired results.
What all of this really means is that cosmetic surgery can make a person happier as long as it is being done for the right reasons, the patient has reasonable expectations concerning the results, and the patient doesn't, psychologically, put all their eggs in one basket, counting on an operation to fix all the hurts and dissatisfaction of a lifetime. The best course of action is to have an initial consultation with a specialist who can ascertain whether the patient is a good candidate for a particular operation, advises the patient of the reasonable expectations to be had, and the risks that are taken with a particular or any kind of surgery. This will improve the chances of becoming happier by way of cosmetic surgery.
