The Individual Benefits of Plastic Surgery

The Individual Benefits of Plastic Surgery

Most plastic surgeons will tell you that their patients claim both physical and psychological reasons for seeking cosmetic surgery. In addition, most patients state that the benefits they experience from their procedure are both physical and emotional in nature. As plastic surgeons, we are very familiar with these benefits; they are a large part of what makes our jobs so rewarding.

Improved Body Image

Certain procedures such as liposuction and breast augmentation at my Connecticut practice can produce an immediate boost in body confidence. These procedures immediately correct issues of proportion or shape that may have been troubling a patient for years. Many cosmetic surgery patients find that surgery gives them the body they have always wanted but have never been able to attain, even through hard work and self sacrifice. It is not uncommon for myself and my fellow Connecticut plastic surgeons to hear words like "thrilled" and "ecstatic" from patients describing their new body image. These patients often report that they can wear more clothing styles, and that they carry themselves more confidently after their surgery.

Enhanced Feelings of Sensuality

Breast procedures, specifically, can enhance a woman's feelings of sexual attractiveness. When a woman feels that her breasts are inadequate even though this may only be her perception it can negatively affect her sense of herself and her femininity. Women with overly large breasts, too, can feel self-conscious or embarrassed, or that their breasts are attracting unwanted sexual attention. Men, too, can have "breast issues" that interfere with their sexual confidence. When men have excessive chest skin or breast tissue, it can cause them to perceive themselves as less masculine. Breast enhancement procedures offer an exciting opportunity for women (and men) to have the chest that they feel is sensual and attractive.

Improved Confidence and Vitality

Facial rejuvenation procedures are known for not only helping patients to look younger, but also actually feel a little younger as well. It's not hard to understand that, when people perceive you as younger and more vital, it is easier to feel that way as well. Many facial plastic surgery patients come to the plastic surgeon's office because they are tired of being told that they look tired. They often express frustration and disappointment that their youthful features are now wrinkling and sagging. Seeing their youthful face in the mirror once again after plastic surgery, patients often report feeling "young again."

Weight Loss and Healthier Lifestyle

Some cosmetic procedures actually help patients to become healthier. One example is breast reduction, which eliminates the weight and bulk of large breasts and allows a woman to participate in many more physical activities. Body contouring procedures can also motivate women and men to exercise and be healthier in order to maintain and improve their "new physique."

Increased Social Comfort

Some women and men feel that a certain feature sets them apart from others in a negative way. This is particularly true for otoplasty and rhinoplasty patients, but it can apply to others as well. Sometimes a person is so self-conscious about a certain feature that they become socially withdrawn, even feeling isolated or depressed. Plastic surgery can give patients such as these a sense of normalcy about their appearance that they may have never felt before. Often these women and men feel a tremendous sense of relief from the embarrassment and discomfort that they've carried for so long, and may even become more socially active after surgery.

Whatever the motivation for plastic surgery, it is clear that there are specific individual benefits both physical and emotional that come with cosmetic enhancement. A good surgeon will help you to determine the best procedure(s) and to have realistic expectations for your results.
