More people than ever are considering the benefits and the end results of plastic surgery. With the advancements in surgery and in the way the body can be shaped, it's hard not to resist the lure of the knife and what it can do for your body.
While 92% of all cosmetic surgery patients are women, men are becoming patients more often as well. Your appearance matters in the business world as well as in your personal life, so why not take steps to secure your looks for as long as you can?
But cosmetic surgery is not as simple as it sounds; neither is the decision whether or not to have it in the first place. In order to ensure you're making the best decision for yourself and for your body, you need to consider these medical procedures with a great deal of care.

WHY DO YOU WANT
COSMETIC SURGERY?
If you're one of the many who are considering cosmetic surgery, you probably have several reasons for doing so.
TO CREATE A MORE YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE
Everyone is interested in turning back the hands of time. As the body ages, the skin begins to sag, collagen production begins to slow down, and the entire body begins to show that it is beginning to break down and to slow down.
While this is a fact of life and of the way our bodies were designed, these changes also help to make a person feel older than they actually are. And in some cases, those who are genetically predisposed to having a greater rate of aging can begin to look older than they actually are.
By having a cosmetic surgery, you can tighten the skin again, reshape it and begin to make the years less apparent. While it's true that you can't stop every sign of aging, you will be able to make yourself look refreshed and more toned than you did prior to the surgery in most cases.
A more youthful appearance can be created in any part of the body, which is why so many people tend to have multiple procedures over the course of their lifetimes – different body parts age at different rates, after all.
TO CORRECT A DEFORMITY
Some people are born with a problem with their appearance that needs to be corrected with cosmetic surgery. For example, women who have one breast that's larger than the other might want to have the breasts evened out with an augmentation of some sort.
These procedures can be simple or they can be complicated, depending on the severity of the deformity. Some examples include ears that are flared out from the head, an extra nipple or other body part, reconstruction after a tumor removal or mastectomy, etc.
Many of these deformities will occur early on in life and be corrected early in the patient's life, while others will require the body to mature completely before they can be corrected.
TO IMPROVE YOUR SELF ESTEEM
One of the most common reasons that patients give for cosmetic surgery is to feel better about themselves. While this isn't a medical reason, it can still certainly be a valid one. For example, if you were a woman who had a smaller chest, it might make you feel a little less feminine and that can cause your self esteem to be lessened.
While the surgery itself wouldn't necessary 'reshape' your self esteem, it would help you learn to love your body more. By taking control of your
image and of your appearance, you can correct something that you may have been ridiculed for in the past, for example.
TO CORRECT A MEDICAL PROBLEM
In many cases, cosmetic surgery actually isn't an option – it's a necessity.
Nose jobs for deviated septums, for example, are necessary in order to allow the patient to breathe normally. While the surgery is technically a rhinoplasty, it is also helping the patient have a more normal life.
