What's COSMETIC surgery?

Cosmetic surgery, also known as aesthetic surgery, is where a person chooses to have an operation, or invasive medical procedure, to change their physical appearance for aesthetic reasons. Cosmetic procedures are on the rise because of many reasons, from falling costs to social media and Instagram filters.

PROS OF AESTHETIC SURGERY
  • In extreme cases, plastic surgeons can perform a type of plastic surgery to help patients overcome obesity
  • Cosmetic surgery patients experience improvements in their body image following a cosmetic procedure. These body image improvements weren’t short lived.

CONS OF AESTHETIC SURGERY

  • Cosmetic surgery on self-esteem have shown cosmetic procedures only improve it in the short term. But other studies have found cosmetic surgery doesn’t improve self-esteem at all.
  • There are surgical risks. These include the risk of bleeding or infections. Patients also have to deal with side effects of the surgery, which often include discomfort, bruising, and swelling.
  • The costs of even the simplest treatments can easily run into thousands of dollars.

AGE LIMIT

The age limit for plastic surgery is a complex issue that depends on various factors.

The appropriateness of the age limit depends on various factors, including the type of procedure, the patient's overall health status, and the motivations behind the request for plastic surgery.

Plastic surgery for young people is a complicated subject as young people are completely influenced by social media.

In the end, prioritizing emotional well-being and healthy self-esteem is more important than trying to meet unrealistic beauty ideals promoted online.

Why do people want plastic surgery?

According to the JAMA, it is not rare to see people getting surgery more than once, and there are some cases where people develop a real addiction to cosmetic surgery.

Often people get influenced by social media and try to reach the unrealistic beauty standard that has been set by society. But this does not make getting plastic surgery to fix a "flaw" of yours wrong.

Be careful of what you're getting yourself into!

  • The results didn’t match the image of how I thought I’d look – 33%
  • Encountered complications – 24%
  • Don’t feel the side-effects were fully explained –17%
  • Feel less confident/comfortable now than before the surgery – 13%
  • Regret spending the money and/or am now in debt as a result – 8%

Increasing Self-esteem: Activities for a Positive Vision of the Body and Authenticity:

Before undergoing plastic surgery, it is essential that people reflect deeply on their motivations, expectations, and potential emotional and physical impacts...

To raise awareness among people, the importance of feeling beautiful and confident, we can adopt different strategies:

Insecurities and social media lead to cosmetic surgery

While scrolling social media, through the accounts of all your favorite celebrities and influencers, you may have noticed that everyone looks...kind of the same.Many of them have probably undergone some form of cosmetic procedure. And what was once taboo to discuss, has quickly become normalized for celebrities, influencers, and regular people to talk openly about the procedures they’ve undergone.

How are social media responsible of the increase of cosmetic surgery?

Studies have shown that the use of algorithms can make the relationship between social media and body dissatisfaction stronger— the social media platforms themselves are aware of this, and more needs to be done to protect users, particularly those who are younger or more vulnerable.

Cosmetic Surgery:

Our opinion

We think cosmetic surgery can be a valid choice for some people, especially if it helps them feel more confident and comfortable. However, cosmetic surgery involves risks and isn't always necessary for happiness or confidence. It's important to focus on accepting yourself rather than trying to fit into society's standards of beauty.

Thank you for your attention!

Neven Ciganovic

"Starletan"

The Croatian Instagram star has undergone numerous procedures over the past 25 years, starting with his first silicone lip injections and then getting more surgery, like three nose jobs and cheek implants. "I just want to stop this aging," he said on the Channel 4 special series.

One study found that there was a correlation between negative body image and disordered eating and time spent on social media. The correlation was stronger when people were scrolling through content related to physical appearance or body image.

If we're bombarded with pictures of 'perfect' faces from celebrities and influencers, it may make us more self-conscious, or make us want to change our own faces to meet a certain ideal.
