Motivations for Cosmetic Surgery

Every year, millions of people undergo cosmetic surgery. Many of the right reasons have been considered -- they are doing it for themselves, have high self-esteem, are in good health, recognize the risks and have reasonable expectations about the results of the procedure.

Studies have shown that body image, self-esteem, education and culture are among the predictable factors in the decision to have surgery.

Have you thought about what influences you? Are you motivated to:

• Look better for yourself

• Contour your body or remove excess skin after significant weight loss

• Return to pre-pregnancy shape after the birth of your last child

• Look younger for relationships or for work

• Correct asymmetry on a particular part of your body

• Have your clothes fit better

• Reduce or reconstruct a part of your body

• Change a feature you have always disliked

• Repair a broken nose or other body part 

• Reverse the signs of aging or age more gracefully

Knowing exactly what you want and having reasonable expectations about the result will help you reach the final decision about whether you will schedule the appointment right away, or give it more thought.
