| A
nip here and tuck there all account for the 11+ million surgical
and non-surgical cosmetic procedures that are performed in the
United States, annually. Gone are the days, when cosmetic/plastic
surgery is only for the filthy rich and famous. Over the last
five years, the popularity of reconstructive surgery has bounced
by more than 40 percent. Despite
the exhilaration of acquiring a new appearance, there are a
few stories behind plastic surgery. Friends as well as family
play an integral role in dispelling feedback regarding post-procedure
results. There have been numerous disputes, breakups, jealousy
or even the termination of a friendship.
Despite
the availability of the plastic makeover, there is a stigma
associated with it. Many believe that it is ethically wrong
to modify what God has provided. On the contrary, many post
plastic surgeon patients endure a series of psychological idiosyncrasies.
To counter the potential expectations of a reconstructive surgery,
various plastic surgeons will evaluate the psychological profiles
of prospective patients.
Certain
individual’s personalities are too narcissistic to weather the
post cosmetic procedure criticism that follows with surgery.
A common scenario of this is when patients have surgeries to
remove ethnic identities: Asian eyes, Italian nose, Jewish nose
and so forth. The same stigmatism is considered when people
opt for liposuction over losing weight the natural way: exercise
and dieting.
In
essence, co-workers, family members, associates and other people
cannot be the judge of how one decides to metamorphosis their
appearance through plastic surgery. Despite all the procedures
one can have to transform a glaring imperfection to a feature
of distinction, reconstructive surgery is only good when the
patient is satisfied with the end-result. |
