Looking In — The Emotional Benefits of Cosmetic Surgery

Can cosmetic surgery make you a happier person? While that question can’t always be answered with a definitive yes or no answer, studies show that cosmetic surgery has the ability to drastically improve a person’s body image and self-esteem.

Study: The Impact of Cosmetic Interventions on Quality of Life

In 2008, Dr. Neil S. Sadick of Cornell University completed “The Impact of Cosmetic Interventions on Quality of Life” study. The goal of the study was to determine if people were more satisfied with their quality of life several months after a surgical or non-surgical procedure. Below are just a few of his key findings:

• Out of the 110 patients who underwent a breast lift surgery, 95 percent of them reported an improvement in their physical and psychological health. They also said that their overall well-being greatly improved after surgery.
• Just six months after having various elective cosmetic surgeries, 105 patients in the study reported major improvements to their life. Most notably, they reported positive changes in their sex life, social life, and romantic relationships.

How Cosmetic Surgery Affects Self-Worth

Most people who undergo cosmetic surgery do so for one primary reason—themselves. In fact, frustration with weight or body disproportion is the number one motivation for cosmetic surgery. While the desire to undergo surgery may stem from an emotional standpoint, are those who go “under the knife” happy with the results?

Studies of Patients

When an older patient undergoes cosmetic surgery, the emotional results are typically good! Research published on the National Center for Biotechnology Information website shows that patients who undergo cosmetic surgery are generally happier with their overall physical appearance. Additionally, those who undergo cosmetic surgery are generally more satisfied with the look of area where the surgery was performed. Therefore, research has proven that cosmetic surgery can make a healthy impact on your overall self-confidence.
