Three Procedures That Will Boost Your Self-Confidence

Body image issues are a hot-button topic in recent years, with many people attacking plastic surgery for its false self-image improvements. However, the more researchers study the psychological effects of plastic surgery procedures, the more their evidence confirms that it really does bolster confidence and boost self-esteem. There are many types of cosmetic surgeries offering patients a chance to change themselves for the better. These surgeries rank among the most popular and often reap the biggest psychological benefits.

Facelift Surgery for a Younger You

One of the most effective plastic surgeries for anti-aging is the facelift, a traditional surgery that has evolved since its introduction to patients nearly a century ago. Today’s facelift is a comprehensive surgery that addresses loose skin, sagging, creases, jowls and folds that have gathered around the lower face region. Your plastic surgeon begins the facelift with an incision patter along the hairline and around the ears, hiding them as much as possible in the hair and natural skin folds of the ear. Next, the surgeon will tighten the underlying tissue of the lower face, excising any excess skin and fat along the way. In many cases, the facial muscles must also be tightened to support the new contour of the lower face. The incisions are closed and the facelift is complete, leaving patients with an improved jawline, well-defined profile, and overall more youthful appearance.

Rhinoplasty Crafts Your Ideal New Nose

Noses are often a major source of frustration, disappointment, and even shame among both men and women. When you hate your nose, it’s hard to get away from it and it’s hard to keep other people from seeing it. Rhinoplasty surgery is designed to address the myriad concerns faced by prospective patients who can’t stand to look at their noses anymore. A plastic surgeon can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip, recontour the bridge, narrow or widen the nostrils, make changes to the angle of your nose, and more.

Rhinoplasty is a straight-forward procedure that either involves incisions placed inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or one incision along the underside of the nose between the nostrils (open rhinoplasty). Depending on the type of work required, your surgeon will choose the approach that best meets your needs. This surgery can provide an immediate self-esteem boost for the right patients, once those bandages are gone for good and the swelling goes down. Being able to like how you look when you smile in photographs can make tremendous improvements to your self-confidence.

Breast Augmentation Makes Big Improvements

Big breasts aren’t for everyone, but for women who spend years frustrated by too-small breasts, the prospect of breast implants is alluring. Many women struggle with small breasts that they feel are less feminine, less appealing in certain fashions, or embarrassing. Other women face a similar problem, although for a different reason. Breast volume can often be lost during weight loss, after pregnancy and breastfeeding, and even with age. These women want to regain the look they once had.

Whatever the reason, a breast augmentation surgery can be designed to provide patients with the size and shape breasts they desire. When the surgeon and patient come together to plan for a breast augmentation, all the pieces fall into place. The surgeon will develop a highly individualized procedure for you, pairing common surgical techniques with a type of implant, placement, and size that suit your unique needs.

The best candidates for breast augmentation have a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for their procedure, ultimately hoping to improve their own body image. Patient satisfaction can lead to better self-confidence and self-esteem, as well as a new sense of pride. Breast augmentation is just one way that women can take charge of their bodies, actively making choices that will bring them closer to their own ideal. Confidence stems naturally when this is achieved, one step at a time.
