ASPS Member Surgeon Loren Schecter, MD says, “Not only do the women believe youthful looks help in the workplace…they’re acting on that belief” (qtd. in “Women”). In a survey compiled by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), many women reveal cosmetic plastic surgery now appears important for success in the workplace. 13 percent of women say they would consider having cosmetic procedures done specifically to make them more confident and more competitive in the job market, while 3 percent say they have already done so (“Women”). Though many reasons exist as to why cosmetic surgeries appeal to people today, the main reason is for increasing self-esteem. Self-esteem relates strongly to happiness and when people are happy the effect often reaches to countless areas of their lives. The domino effect of boosting one’s self-esteem makes connecting with others and maintaining stable relationships for the long-term easier. While these procedures should not be used as a ‘quick fix’ solution for a crisis or problems that may require professional help, it presents an opportunity for improvement of life overall.

Therefore, women must keep in mind the physical and psychological complications that stem from plastic surgery.

MedicineNet analyzes mental health risks as a result of unrealistic expectations of surgery. When a person engages in plastic surgery on the wrong grounds, they tend to be unsatisfied with their results. This causes stress and sometimes depression on the patient, which can also affect their physical health, due to delayed and/or prolonged healing time. It is critical for plastic surgeons to be specifically trained in psycho-therapy. During an initial consultation, the doctor must first determine whether the patient is emotionally stable. They look for things such as age, development, mental illness, whether the patient is realistic towards the outcome, whether the patient has recently undergone any sort of traumatic event, or any other factor capable affecting their mental health. Once this is assessed and the patient is cleared for surgery a whole new array of problems arise.
