Boosting Self Esteem with Plastic Surgery
Do you have an area of your body that you wish looked different? Are you tired of people telling you to just embrace it when its sheer presence is enough to ruin your day? If you’re feeling that upset about it, then chances are it’s impacting your self-esteem. You don’t need to let low self-esteem negatively affect all of the other areas of your life. Boosting self-esteem with plastic surgery is the perfect solution. And there are added benefits that go beyond just feeling better about yourself. Study Backs Positive Impact of Plastic Surgery A research study published in Clinical Psychological Science found that people who chose to undergo plastic surgery were able to experience greater self esteem, a higher sense of satisfaction, and more overall joy in life. The study looked at nearly 550 first-time patients, as well as over 260 people who’d always wanted plastic surgery but had opted not to get a procedure. These two groups were then compared to more than 1,000 people who never held any interest in cosmetic surgery. Controls were put in place to ensure there were no differences in terms of mental health and overall life satisfaction. Plastic Surgery Patients Showed Increase in Self Esteem In psychological tests, it turns out that those who went under the knife had higher self-esteem, experienced less anxiety, and felt healthier overall when compared to those who had not had plastic surgery. In addition, those who opted for the surgery were not only more pleased with the “problem area” that was addressed, but they were happier with their bodies as a whole. And the perks and positive outcomes don’t stop there. Benefits of Improved Self Esteem Patients who are self-conscious enough to choose surgery often struggle with the negative impact their appearance has on their social lives. So it makes perfect sense that after surgery, they’d have a newfound confidence and be able to shed a great deal of the anxiety and insecurity that once dominated their lives. This increase in confidence and self-esteem has a trickle-down effect that affects other areas of their lives too. For instance, they may decide to start a diet and/or begin and exercise regimen to add to their “upgrade.” There are other ways too.- Increased Ambition
- Better Job Performance
- Improved Interactions with Others
