Researchers examined hundreds of people just to find out how they are feeling and what their mind emotions are after their cosmetic or plastic surgeries and compared them with those, who haven't done any surgeries or those, who are against it. The researchers compared surgery patients with people, who wanted to get a surgery done and then decided to go against it and with those, who have never been interested in this kind of operations.
In terms of phsychological and health variables, there were no significant differences between all three groups of people. According to the medicalnewstoday.com 'The researchers examined what goals the patients wanted to achieve with cosmetic surgery. Alongside open questions, ten standard goals were offered, also including two which were clearly unrealistic: "All my problems will be solved" and "I'll be a completely new person". Only 12 % of the respondents specified these unrealistic standard goals. In the open questions, the patients answered on the whole more realistically, expressing wishes such as to "feel better", "eliminate blemishes" and "develop more self-confidence" '.
My opinion is that no matter how good and clever a doctor is and how perfectly he is doing his job, he can never be 100% sure about the patient reaction for what the results are going to be. Also, no matter how good commercials for the plastic surgery are shown, you never know is it still going to attract a person to go under the knife, even if the person's opinion was strong 'not to have it'.
