0 Why Beauty Matters

By Alistair Nole


It's more accepted these days that certain signs of aging, such as wrinkles or a loss of elasticity in the skin, are best treated in consultation with a cosmetic surgeon. Proper treatment can provide the right course of action to get the results you want in targeting excessive skin or a loss of collagen in certain parts of the face. Treatment options have grown dramatically in the past ten years and their popularity continues to explode. What motivates people these days to undergo treatments?

Certainly, self esteem is at the heart of many people's decision to seek treatments. A confidence boost and less self-consciousness are what some look for. In particular, one might feel their nose is conspicuous or large. If one believes it to be, the perception can create the reality and cause discomfort and anxiety, whether true or not. For some who work very hard through diet, exercise, makeup, clothes, etc, to look their best, a problem or flaw that they can improve upon, or an area that they would like to make just a bit better can be quite important. When this is linked to sexuality, the level of importance goes up a few notches.

The end result of a change can actually increase a person's sense of improvement in quality of life or work. This can include things like wearing the type of clothes or bathing suits you want to wear. Or you would like to feel good about the body that you have because you like going to the beach. Perhaps you deal with the public a lot or have a very public job. These all weigh in the decision.

Vanity, which can be closely connected with self esteem, is one of the top motivators. A desire to get back a lost positive attribute is not unusual. For example, my lips were always full but now... , I always used to have a shapely figure but now.... Having good positive reinforcement over the years and losing that attribute can be like losing one's self-identity.

It's also very natural to want to slow down, reverse or turn back the effects of aging that are beginning to appear or have been creeping along for a while. In addition, it's equally normal to want to improve or change a feature that you never liked. This can develop with age -- when you were younger, you thought about it a lot and after much reflection, realize it absolutely is something you want to improve.

Another motivator is health reasons. Many unpleasant postpartum changes to the body that can make any mom depressed. And correcting post-weight loss body changes can be a real tangible benefit. Also, there could be a need to relieve physical factors or symptoms. For example, a breast reduction could alleviate chronic recurrent headaches, neck strain, lower back pain, shoulder notching, numbing or tingling in the hands due to nerve stretch-- all of these are associated with mammary hypertrophy--or excessively large, heavy, dense breasts. A breast reduction procedure completely remedies almost all of these problems.

Another big motivator can be dramatic life changes. Sometimes people feel like their divorce shows on their face, or that their work or other substantial stresses of life have aged them. There are clear, safe and affordable options available for anyone looking to make those changes or small corrections, whatever the reasons.
