Good and Bad Reasons for Plastic Surgery

Men and Women all over the world are getting more and more cosmetic surgery for all sorts of reasons. Many people, including some of the best plastic surgeons, say that there are right and wrong reasons for getting plastic surgery.

Let's start off with the bad reasons for getting plastic surgery. The worst reason for a person to get plastic surgery is to try to be perfect. No one will ever be perfect. Also, even if the person with this motivation for plastic surgery becomes "perfect," they will never feel they are good enough. Perfectionism is dangerous in many areas, especially cosmetic surgery. These people who want to reach perfection are never going to feel as if they've had enough done. It becomes an addiction. Also, many people don't do the surgery for themselves. Some get procedures done because they think their spouses will love them more, for instance. This is an absurd reason to get plastic surgery. Love isn't about bigger breast or chin implants. It is much deeper than that. Some people are looking for a "pick-me-up." Getting plastic surgery is a decision that one should not make without being well informed. It should not just be an emotional decision. Those are just a few of the wrong reasons to get cosmetic surgery.

There are some great reasons to get cosmetic surgery. For instance, if a woman has had breast cancer and needs reconstructive surgery it is a good decision that can enhance her beauty and make her feel more womanly again after the long nightmare of chemotherapy. Also, those who have been disfigured by car crashes or other accidents should get plastic surgery so they don't have to look at their scars for the rest of their lives if they don't want to. If someone has been bothered by something that is lacking or that there is too much of on their body for most of their lives, plastic surgery would be a good option for them. The most common example of this is getting breast implants. The key is you have to do it for yourself and no one else. If you feel it could help boost your confidence about your appearance and you do your research on the procedure, doctors and recovery time, go for it. Also, say a person has been trying to lose fat in a particular area and has tried diligently to diet and exercise, but the fat just won't budge. They may be a good candidate for liposuction. The key is to not look for quick fixes when it comes to plastic surgery.

All in all, plastic surgery is a great way to enhance your appearance. Just make sure to think the decision over, do your research, and be true to yourself.
