Plastic Surgery
You know you are ready for plastic surgery when you look at yourself in the mirror
and feel the image does not reflect the way you see yourself. You recognize an area
in which your appearance could be improved and you have a strong desire to make
a change. The reasons for this change may vary. It can be to improve your confidence
at work, to follow a new lifestyle that needs reinforcement, or simply to help you
look as young as you feel.
Plastic is a word that comes from the Greek plastikos, to mold or give form. Likewise
plastic surgery enables us to mold or remodel the human body. Plastic surgery can
be reconstructive and aesthetic. Reconstructive surgery restores or improves function
and disfigurement from birth defects, disease or accidents. Aesthetic surgery improves
the appearance of normal body features and enhances self-image.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people undergo aesthetic plastic surgery to
change their looks. In the blast ten years, aesthetic surgery has become popular
not only with women but also with men.
It is important to have realistic expectations. Improving a feature of your face
or body will make you feel good about yourself, and improve your life in many ways,
but will not guarantee happiness or better relationships with others. Surgery will
only make you look better; the rest is up to you.
