Cosmetic Surgery and Self Esteem in Scottsdale

The worlds of entertainment and cosmetic surgery often make headlines, and 2016 is no exception. Recent news about a successful actress and a supermodel entering her middle age reveal interesting views about cosmetic surgery that should be of interest to prospective patients in Scottsdale.

Hollywood star Courteney Cox, who is better known for her role as Monica Geller in the television sitcom Friends, recently commented that she regrets the various procedures she has gone through over the years. Ms. Cox explains that her regret is based on the fact she approached cosmetic surgery under pressure from the film and television industry.

One of the most beneficial aspects of cosmetic surgery is that patients often get a significant boost to their self-esteem soon after going through a procedure. The undeniable nexus between body image and self-esteem is the subject of hundreds of research studies every year; while there is no definitive conclusion as to how this mind-body connection really operates, a few principles have been established:

  • A healthy body image starts with a positive claim over your body, which is something that Ms. Cox apparently could not establish. She felt as if Hollywood controlled her appearance, hence her regret. If you read some of things she has said it’s more about the pressure from Hollywood
  • Changing your appearance through cosmetic surgery can be healthy. Also, even without cosmetic surgery at this time; people alter their appearance through make-up, exercise, hairstyles, and attire.

In the end, the best way you can approach cosmetic surgery in Scottsdale is through rational and positive thinking. If you are uncertain about the procedures you would like to get, you should talk about your feelings with a cosmetic surgery professional who understands how our psyches work in relation to body image.

You have to be convinced that you will be happy with the procedure you are seeking; otherwise you may feel pangs of remorse like Courteney Cox.
