Motivation for Cosmetic Procedures

By Alistair Nole


It's more accepted nowadays that a cosmetic surgeon should be involved in consultation for treatments that address certain signs of aging, such as wrinkles or a loss of elasticity in the skin. To get the results that you want, proper treatment will provide the correct course of action to target excessive skin or a loss of collagen in certain parts of the face. In the past ten years, there has been dramatic growth in the number of treatment options available, and they are becoming even more popular. What motivates people these days to undergo treatments?

Certainly, self esteem is at the heart of many people's decision to seek treatments. Some seek improved confidence, and decreased self-consciousness. For example, one may think they have a large or conspicuous nose. Whether true or not, if one believes this to be true, the perception can create the reality and cause discomfort and anxiety. For some who work very hard through diet, exercise, makeup, clothes, etc, to look their best, a problem or flaw that they can improve upon, or an area that they would like to make just a bit better can be quite important. The level of importance goes up a few notches when this is linked to sexuality.

A change can actually bring about an increase in a person's sense of improvement in quality of life or work. This can include things like wearing the bathing suits and clothes you want to wear. Or, going to the beach is enjoyable for you, and you want to feel good about your body. Perhaps you deal with the public a lot or have a very public job. These all weigh in the decision.

Closely connected with self esteem, vanity is one of the top motivators. It's only natural to want to regain a lost positive attribute. For example, my lips used to be full but now... , I always had a nice figure but now.... When you lose an attribute on which you had positive reinforcement over the years, it's like losing your identity.

It's completely normal to want to slow down, reverse or turn back those effects of aging that start to show up, or have been creeping up for some time. Moreover, wanting to alter or improve a feature that you have always disliked is equally natural. This can be an issue of maturity-- you thought about it a lot when you were younger and after years of reflection have realized that it definitely is something you would like improved.

Health reasons are definitely a motivator. Many unpleasant postpartum changes to the body that can make any mom depressed. And correcting post-weight loss body changes can be a real tangible benefit. Also, there could be a need to relieve physical factors or symptoms. One example is how a breast reduction can provide relief from chronic recurrent headaches, lower back pain, neck strain, shoulder notching, numbing or tingling in the hands due to nerve stretch; all problems that come with mammary hypertrophy (excessively large, dense and heavy breasts). Most of these problems are totally fixed by a procedure to reduce breast size.

Dramatic changes in life are another motivating factor. Sometimes people feel like their divorce shows on their face, or that their work or other substantial stresses of life have aged them. There are clear, safe and affordable options available for anyone looking to make those changes or small corrections, whatever the reasons.
