Self-esteem is something men and women struggle with and it also affects people of various ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. There are several factors of why some people have low self-esteem. One person may have suffered emotional and verbal abuse as a child while others have low self esteem because they had a physical ailment which leads to a visible deformity. Some people deal with their self-esteem issues by acting out in anger while others either overeat or starve themselves. But these are not the best ways to improve self-esteem and in recent years more people turned to plastic surgery to improve their self-esteem.
Did you know that more men are getting plastic surgery to improve their self-esteem and image in the workplace? This may surprise some people since plastic surgery has traditionally been considered a woman's domain. According to recent studies, 40-percent of men weren't happy with the shape of their noses. It's for this reason that rhinoplasty, or reshaping of the nose, is the most popular form of plastic surgery for men. Other men get changes made to their upper and lower eyelids as well as changes in their chin and neck lines.
African-Americans are getting plastic surgery in record numbers according to a recent article in Ebony. Historically, African-Americans shunned cosmetic surgery because they felt this meant they were ashamed of their features or that they wanted to look more European. However, this is no longer the case and African-Americans are more comfortable with using plastic surgery to improve their self-esteem. In addition, there are more African-American plastic surgeons which assist people of color in getting cosmetic work done. Breast reduction surgery and rhinoplasty are the most popular types of plastic surgical procedures for African-Americans.
When you research different plastic surgeons, it's important to make sure they're certified and licensed because you want to have the surgery done by a trusted professional. You should also get a physical checkup from your doctor before getting the cosmetic surgery to ensure that you're healthy enough for it. Another thing you should do is think about the goal of the p surgery and specific parts of your body that are causing you low self-esteem.
Plastic surgery is the initial step to improving your self-esteem, but there are additional steps you can take to be whole emotionally. Seek counseling from your pastor or a psychotherapist is wise because they will address the root of your low self-esteem and give you long-lasting recommendations to rebuild it after the surgery. Also try to work on your broken relationships because this may be another factor in building your self-esteem. If you're stressed out from work, don't run to your favorite high-calorie snacks. Instead, go for a long walk.
Cosmetic surgery is a good way to boost your self-esteem but it can also improve your physical health. For example, if you have excessively large breasts, you'll experience back pain and it will be difficult to find good bras that fit comfortably. If you get surgery to reduce fine lines or bags under your eyes, your skin will look younger and fresher. As with any medical procedure discuss the options thoroughly with your doctor and think long and hard about the benefits and risks of this kind of surgery before you make a commitment.
