Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery, also known as cosmetic surgery can be done for many reasons. Re-constructive surgery, for example, may be necessary if a person has a breast removed due to cancer or an accident causes a deformation on a person. In this case plastic surgery can be very helpful and perhaps even necessary.

However, cosmetic surgery done for vanity reasons should be highly considered before it is gone through with. There are a number of things necessary to ensure that you will get proper surgery that leaves you satisfied. Extensive research should be done on the surgeon. Ask to see before and after pictures or better yet look the doctor up on the Internet to find sources of pictures of work that he has done. This will ensure you see more telling, realistic photos as opposed to things that they only want you to see.

Before you decide whether or not to go through with plastic surgery you need to determine why this is so important to you. While the thought of plastic surgery may be nice it is usually done by people that feel inadequate in some way and are hoping to feel better by having a better body.

Unfortunately, if you are changing your body to improve your emotional health or to like yourself more you are not going to be happy with the outcome you receive. In most cases like this, once the plastic surgery is done the person still feels uncomfortable and unhappy with the person that they are.

Plastic surgery is not going to be able to make a person like or love the person they are. Likewise, another person is not going to love you more or want to be in a relationship because you’ve had a tummy tuck, a face lift, or a nose job. The more you begin to realize that these cosmetic changes will have nothing to do with who you are as a person, the happier you will become.

As society is set on fashion and beauty many people, especially women, feel the need to have plastic surgery so that they can be seen as beautiful. There are many famous women, some already quite beautiful, that go to extreme lengths to continue society’s view of them. Unfortunately, in many cases the extreme bodily abuse they put themselves through causes numerous problems and causes the beauty they had to fade.

In the end cosmetic surgery should be considered for re-constructive reasons, but warily approached for vanity. Consider the reason you need plastic surgery and if it will help improve your life and relationships because you’ve had it. If you do not believe you will gain any emotional or logical support in your life and relationships than consider saving the money. You can use it in other ways like to find out why changing your body was so important to you and to fill the gap that created such a need with self-acceptance.
