Benefits of Plastic Surgery in Today's Modern World

In today's world, increasing numbers of people are turning to plastic surgery for a solution to problems pertaining to their appearances. What was deemed to be unchangeable is now no longer the case. Most people are not satisfied with at least one part of their body or face. Through the skills of plastic surgeons, noses have been reshaped, tummies tucked in, breasts enlarged or reduced in size, signs of ageing softened, drooping skin tightened and lots more. The list of possibilities is virtually endless.

Successful plastic surgery does have many benefits. After all, a person only has one body to live with so any improvements made to it will certainly be beneficial. The great thing about plastic surgery is that its benefits can be physical and emotional, external and internal. Here are some of the main benefits of plastic surgery:

Firstly, there are definite health benefits. One example is breast reduction. When a woman's breasts are too large for her body frame, it may cause back pain and excessive strain on the neck and shoulders. In such cases, breast reduction through plastic surgery is just about the only answer. Certain breathing problems can be corrected by septo-rhinoplasty, the plastic surgery performed on the nose. The septum of the nose is straightened and reshaped into a new and desirable form. This new position enables a clearer passageway for breathing.

Secondly, there are clear emotional and psychological benefits. A breast cancer victim after a mastectomy may have breast reconstruction surgery. This serves to restore a sense of personal body image and confidence. It goes a long way towards helping such women eliminate the thinking that they have become 'deformed' as a result of breast cancer.

In addition to the benefits above, plastic surgery patients also gain:

1. A new sense of self-esteem.

"Appearance is the most public part of the Self. How you look introduces yourself." says Dr Charles Lee, Malaysian Plastic Surgeon based in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, East Malaysia. Since the body is the only visible part of a person, your self-esteem is invariably linked to your body's appearance. If any part of it can be reshaped to appear more socially acceptable, this would definitely enhance the way you feel about yourself before others. This benefit would lead on to the next one.

2. The admiration of your friends.

Imagine the surprise of your friends when they see the 'new' you! The part of your body or face that used to draw attention for all the wrong reasons now draws admiration and affirmation.

3. The self-confidence that comes from a healthy and attractive body and face.

With better self-esteem comes greater self-confidence. And with self-confidence comes increased productivity in performance whether at work or at home. Thus, the benefits will go beyond you to affect others also.

4. Improved relationships with your partner and loved ones.

When you feel good about yourself, you send positive signals to those around you, especially your loved ones. This inevitably brings out the best in others towards you in turn.

5. You will never be shy about your body again.

Perhaps for the first time, you would be confident to go to the beach or swimming pool. You can have a body that you can be proud of. As a result, you will not be self-conscious of your appearance.

6. You can enjoy better health, proper weight loss and a slimmer body.

Once your body and facial features have been correctly shaped, all you have to do is maintain it as such. After the excess fat has been removed, keep it off. Once the body or face has been improved, care for it well. Without plastic surgery, it may take years to loose excess fat, develop good muscle tone and tighten the skin. In short, plastic surgery can be a short-cut to better health and fitness for you.

The increasing popularity of plastic surgery bears testament to its benefits. With the advancement of medical technology, plastic surgery would only become better, more affordable and best of all, more beneficial to everyone.
