MOTIVATIONS
FOR COSMETIC SURGERY
The baby boomers
of today no longer think or look like their mothers and fathers
did when they were in their forties and fifties. They also are more
active and have more disposable income. Additionally, medical advances
and technologies have become widely available and lower in price.
As a result, cosmetic enhancements are no longer strictly reserved
for the rich and famous.
Motivations
for having surgery vary by individual and gender. Some of the most
common reasons for undergoing a cosmetic surgery procedure include
the following:
- to look as
young as one feels
- to correct
asymmetry of a body part
- to get a
psychological boost after a lifestyle change, such as divorce
or pregnancy
- to maintain
a youthful, vibrant appearance to effectively compete in the workplace.
As a society,
we feel comfortable driving expensive cars, decorating our homes,
or adorning our bodies with jewelry. We are naturally concerned
about our personal appearance. Cosmetic surgery does not have to
be construed as self-indulgent. Contrary to some beliefs, people
undergoing cosmetic surgery are not vain and narcissistic. Those
who are seeking aesthetic changes are ordinary people who have areas
on the face or body that can be improved or enhanced.
The motivations
for cosmetic surgery are very personal and are best described as
being on a continuum. These motivations are neither good or bad
nor right or wrong but should be observed in order to fully understand
and be prepared for the process of a cosmetic surgery decision.

fall more onto the "typical" side of the continuum, such
as to improve our appearance for our own reasons, not someone elses,
we find that our expectations and the results are more closely aligned
and that our perceptions of the surgical experience are more positive.
Studies have also shown that when our motivations fall on the "atypical"
end of the continuum, for examplegetting a breast augmentation
to save your marriage-- greater levels of disappointment, dissatisfaction,
and negative feelings about the surgical process are more likely
to occur.
