Why would anyone have cosmetic surgery and what are the benefits?

Whenever you consider whether to have any type of cosmetic surgery you have to weigh up the good things and the bad. Here are some things to remember

There is no such thing as a perfect operation. All operations have some risk.

An operation may not be right for you today but in a few years the risk may be worth the improvement.

No surgeon can give guarantees.

In general, surgeons judge an operation by patient acceptability. If a year after surgery the patient would have the operation again then most surgeons would say it has been a success.

The kinds of benefit most people look for are:

• an improved sense of self esteem

• an ability to blend in with other people

• an overall feeling that their external appearance matches how they feel internally.


Here are some articles about the benefits of specific operations:
