Self-Esteem, Body Image, Confidence



Cosmetic surgery is often labelled as being superficial. However, if you look into the real and right reasons why people go through cosmetic surgery, you will realise it is so much more than superficial.

There is a reason why the cosmetic surgery industry exists – unfortunately only 1 in 5 are actually happy with their body and appearance. Contrary to our wishes, this is the sad reality, and can lead to lack of self-confidence and self-esteem, which in turn can cause greater problems in other aspects of their lives.

One of the biggest reasons women and men undergo cosmetic surgery is to improve their confidence and self-esteem. Body image is how an individual perceives their body, not a reflection of someone else’s perception. Cosmetic surgeons must have a serious understanding of an individual’s body-image, to make sure the client is not unrealistically hoping for cosmetic surgery to solve issues in other areas of their life.

It is also important for the Surgeon to manage realistic expectations, especially when patients are bringing in ideas and pictures of desired results. Knowing what you want is important, however may not always be suitable for your face or body. It is important for surgeons to recognise this and make recommendations to the client according to their individual needs and results.
