The
decision to undergo cosmetic surgery is a very serious one. It is very
important to recognise why you are having surgery, and what you expect the
surgery to do for you. Although on the surface the decision to have cosmetic
surgery is a physical change, the biggest changes experienced are mental and
emotional.
Give
yourself an assessment as to why you want cosmetic surgery. It is important you
recognise why you are making this decision, and are prepared for the journey of
change ahead. Cosmetic surgery does create changes to your self-esteem as well
as physical changes. It is important to realise that seeking cosmetic change
for someone else’s perception of you is not always ideal, and generally leads
to disappointment.
General
research suggests that when you have major changes made as a result of cosmetic
surgery, there are changes in the way you act and your personality. One thing
that will definitely change is your self-esteem and boost in self-confidence.
It would be accurate to say that when you improve, change or enhance a part of
your body that you have been self-conscious about, you feel better about
yourself and in turn do more to maintain that confidence and change, hence
improving the quality of your life in some instances.
It
is important to remember however, that each individual responds to surgery
differently, and although many people undergo cosmetic surgery to improve their
self-esteem, this isn’t always the case. Therefore, it is important to
recognise all the reasons you are making the change for, and be prepared for
the outcomes.
Cosmetic
surgery is about physical improvement, not perfection. It won’t change your
life or solve personal problems. The bottom line is, that despite the fact that
cosmetic surgery can offer many positive rewards, it will not take away
problems or change relationships. You are ultimately the same person before and
after, mostly with a positive self-esteem and more confidence after! MTM have a
