With body issues such a popular topic in the media, the public opinion of plastic surgery seems to change every day. Sometimes, it’s a great way to express your personal identity and on other days, it’s a false attempt at improving self-esteem. In reality, much research has been conducted regarding the psychological effects of plastic surgery and how it may provide that boost of confidence after all. Many different types of plastic surgery exist today, each offering patients the chance to reclaim their own bodies and appearances for themselves. There are three main procedures, however, that seem to outshine all the rest when it comes to bolstering self-esteem.
Facelifts Can Make You Appear Younger
The battle against aging has been raging for decades and likely much longer. Facelift surgery is one approach to combat some of the unwanted signs of aging that plague the face, specifically the lower portion and the jaw line. The traditional facelift emerged about a century ago, but today’s version is refined and perfected to provide patients with a youthful appearance by erasing up to 10 years. Specifically, facelift surgery does much to combat the loose and sagging skin, creases and wrinkles, jowls and skin folds that are common for patients to experience in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond.
The facelift surgery begins with a well-hidden pattern of incisions that extends along the hair line, behind and around the ears, then down along the lower scalp. From here, your surgeon is able to tighten the supportive tissues of the lower face, remove the excess loose skin, and redistribute or remove the fat cells that have collected around the chin and jaw. The facial muscles may also be tightened to improve facial contour and give you a firmer, more refined profile. Finally, once all of the necessary changes have been made, your surgeon will lay the skin back over the area in a natural-looking but more youthful position.
Rhinoplasty Offers Nasal Improvements
When it comes to the facial features, the nose takes a lot of heat for being shaped or sized wrong. Many prospective rhinoplasty patients choose surgery out of frustration, unhappiness, and even embarrassment. The nose is such a central part of the face that any kind of dissatisfaction can become very frustrating. A crooked, hooked, pointy, or bulbous nose can draw attention, stand out in photos, and seem to distract from the other facial features. For those suffering with a nose they don’t want, it can be an all-consuming feeling. Through rhinoplasty, it’s possible to make constructive changes to the nose that can alleviate some of these negative emotions and issues.
Rhinoplasty can reshape or resize the entire nose or just part of the nose. It is often chosen as a solution for big noses, small noses, bumps or bumps, narrow or too-wide nostrils, crooked noses, and much more. The procedure itself is fairly straightforward, involving incisions placed inside the nostrils for a closed rhinoplasty or an incision on the underside of the nose, between the nostrils for an open rhinoplasty. Your surgeon will ultimately choose the right approach for you based on what is required to achieve the results you desire. With the problems your nose has caused now resolved, rhinoplasty can result in an immediate boost in your self-esteem and self-confidence. Research has shown that positive results from rhinoplasty can be directly linked to an improved quality of life, simply because patients are happier with the way they look and this happiness infiltrates every part of their lives. Feeling good about the way you look can have incredibly powerful effects on your personal and professional life.
Breast Augmentation Creates Feminine Curves
Of course, not every plastic surgery procedure is for everyone, but for the right candidates, breast augmentation can be a truly life-changing experience. There are many women who feel that their smaller-sized breasts are an inconvenient source of frustration and disappointment. Many of these women turn to breast augmentation to feel more feminine, more appealing, and more comfortable in their own bodies. Sometimes, women may even lose volume from their breasts either from weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or age. In these cases, they may opt to restore their breasts to their previous size or even something larger. Breast augmentation can also be used in conjunction with breast reconstruction to recreate breasts in women who have undergone a mastectomy.
No matter what the reason, women who are looking for breast augmentation can experience tremendous results on an emotion and psychological level after surgery. By designing the approximate size and shape of their new breasts, they have the power to achieve the ideal they have for their own bodies. A plastic surgeon can work with you to collaborate on a plan for your surgery. The surgery techniques used will vary based on your unique body type, your desired results, and the type of implants used. To be considered a candidate for breast augmentation, you should be in good overall health and have a positive outlook on your surgery with specific, realistic goals in mind. For the right patient, breast augmentation can increase self-esteem and self-image.
