How Cosmetic Surgery Can Benefit Your Career


Cosmetic surgery has long been the way to go in propelling and sustaining many careers in the film and television industry. This has been especially important for the aging Hollywood stars who wish to continue securing acting roles, as well as those want to-be movie and TV stars starting out who want to get their foot in the door. But recent studies indicate that cosmetic surgery is no longer the preserve of celebrities and want to-be celebrities, as it is fast becoming a career booster for persons in the more traditional occupations. This is due to the common belief that attractive people tend to earn more, as well as enjoy more opportunities to advance in their careers.

Cosmetic surgery is now believed to be beneficial to those who wish to accelerate their climb up the corporate ladder. This is because a lot of importance is placed on image in the corporate world. And because image is associated with self-confidence, many people today are willing to invest in improving their looks in the hopes of remaining competitive in their jobs. Many corporate men and women are now feeling the need to look younger. This explains the growing popularity for procedures such as hairline transplants in young men who go as far as taking out loans for such procedures. Other popular procedures today include eyelid surgery and teeth whitening.

Moreover, most people are naturally attracted to people that they find more physically attractive. There are therefore many advantages to being good-looking with attractive graduates having higher chances of securing a job. On the other hand, employees tend to exhibit higher productivity levels when working under attractive bosses. Good-looking bosses are also said to give off the perception of credibility and persuasiveness as well. As such, improving your physical appearance will make you appear younger, thereby delaying the decline of your effectiveness in the workplace as you age.

But experts say that cosmetic surgery isn't the end all - be all, as you should also invest in a good work out regimen, diet, hygiene as well as a wardrobe makeover - and not forgetting a good education - in order to advance your career and keep your job for many more years to come. While the preference that society gives to physically attractive people is discriminatory to say the least, this seems to be a trend that will be here to stay for a long time to come. It therefore remains an individual's choice on whether going under the knife is really worth that promotion or corner office after all.
