A study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that 70% of cosmetic surgery patients report emotional and psychological benefits which include improved interpersonal relationships, increased happiness, self esteem and self confidence. However, cosmetic surgery is not proven to cure mental illnesses like depression.
Unlike reconstructive plastic surgery, which restores the appearance and function of body parts affected by congenital defects, injuries, or diseases like cancer, cosmetic surgery changes the appearance of a body part that functions normally. Cosmetic surgery can improve your physical appearance and therefore positively affect your self-esteem but there are side-effects and risk factors to consider before undergoing any cosmetic surgery or procedure.
