Why Do People Have Cosmetic Procedures?

By Alistair Nole


It's more accepted nowadays that a cosmetic surgeon should be involved in consultation for treatments that address certain signs of aging, such as wrinkles or a loss of elasticity in the skin. Excessive skin or a loss of collagen in certain parts of the face may require treatment that can provide the proper course of action in order to get the results that you want. In the past ten years, treatment options have grown dramatically and their popularity continues to explode. What motivates people these days to undergo treatments?

Self esteem is certainly at the heart of many people's decision to seek treatments. Some seek improved confidence, and decreased self-consciousness. In particular, one might feel their nose is conspicuous or large. Whether true or not, if one believes this to be true, the perception can create the reality and cause discomfort and anxiety. For some who work very hard through diet, exercise, makeup, clothes, etc, to look their best, a problem or flaw that they can improve upon, or an area that they would like to make just a bit better can be quite important. The level of importance goes up a few notches when this is linked to sexuality.

A change can actually bring about an increase in a person's sense of improvement in quality of life or work. This can include things like wearing the type of clothes or bathing suits you want to wear. Or, going to the beach is enjoyable for you, and you want to feel good about your body. Maybe in your job you frequently deal with the public or are in the public eye. These all weigh in the decision.

Vanity, which can be closely connected with self esteem, is one of the top motivators. Wanting to regain a lost positive attribute is only natural. For example, my lips used to be full but now... , my figure was always nice but now.... It can be like losing your self-identity when you have had good positive reinforcement over the years and then lose that attribute.

When the effects of aging that have been creeping along for a while begin to appear, it's very natural to want to slow down or reverse them. Furthermore, it's equally natural to want to improve or alter a feature that you have always disliked. This can develop with age -- when you were younger, you thought about it a lot and after much reflection, realize it absolutely is something you want to improve.

Another motivator is health reasons. The various unpleasant postpartum changes to the body can be depressing for any mom. A real, tangible benefit is correcting post-weight loss body changes. Relief of physical factors or symptoms could be needed too. One example is how a breast reduction can provide relief from chronic recurrent headaches, lower back pain, neck strain, shoulder notching, numbing or tingling in the hands due to nerve stretch; all problems that come with mammary hypertrophy (excessively large, dense and heavy breasts). Almost all of these problems are 100% remedied by a breast reduction procedure.

Dramatic changes in life are another motivating factor. Sometimes people feel like their divorce shows on their face, or that their work or other substantial stresses of life have aged them. There are clear, safe and affordable options available for anyone looking to make those changes or small corrections, whatever the reasons.
