Why do people get plastic surgery? The answer has been revealed

PLASTIC SURGERY APPEALS TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE FOR A WHOLE VARIETY OF REASONS.

THIS CAN BE ANYTHING – FROM WANTING TO IMPROVE THEIR CAREER PROSPECTS TO SIMPLY WANTING TO TRY SOMETHING NEW. HOWEVER, A NEW SURVEY HAS PINPOINTED THE MAIN REASON WHY PATIENTS DECIDE TO UNDERGO A COSMETIC PROCEDURE.

The answer? One word: confidence. According to research carried out by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery – who offer everything from liposuction to hair transplants – patients are most interested in boosting their self-esteem when they go under the knife.

While the majority of those quizzed revealed that they first considered a form of cosmetic treatment to ‘feel more confident’, others also confessed that they were urged to improve their appearance to ‘feel more attractive’ and to ‘look as young as I feel or better for my age’. Mirroring similar surveys carried out around the globe, the research also confirmed that more people than ever before are open to the idea of cosmetic surgery in 2017. In fact, seven out of 10 people are now interested in a procedure – twice as many as in 2013.

The results, while eye-opening, might not come as that much of a surprise to those people who closely follow pop culture. After all, numerous celebrities have previously admitted to going under the knife with the intention of experiencing a new level of confidence. Just take Kaley Cuoco as an example. The Big Bang Theory star has gone under the knife on multiple occasions – having had everything from a boob job to lines removed from her neck.

Just last year the actress stood up for herself and declared the work had done wonders for her self-esteem. In a candid interview, she proudly told Women’s Health: “I don’t think you should do it for a man or anyone else, but if it makes you feel confident, that’s amazing.”

It’s time to boost your confidence!

You can expect to feel much better about yourself after undergoing plastic surgery. This newfound confidence will hopefully improve both your personal and professional life.

Botox fan Elaine Paige won’t rule out more cosmetic surgery - At the age of 68.

THERE AREN’T MANY PEOPLE AS REVERED IN THEIR INDUSTRY AS ELAINE PAIGE.

THE SINGER HAS SEEMINGLY DONE IT ALL IN HER CAREER – FROM TOPPING THE CHARTS TO PERFORMING ON BROADWAY AND THE WEST END. WHILE ELAINE’S VOICE IS MUSIC TO PEOPLE’S EARS, IT MUST BE SAID THAT HER FACE IS STILL RATHER EASY ON PEOPLE’S EYES, EVEN AT THE AGE OF 68. THIS, SHE WILL PROUDLY ADMIT, IS PARTLY DUE TO THE RESULTS OF BOTOX.

Elaine has said she relies on the wrinkle-removing procedure in the past, and she has recently confirmed once again that it’s been the solution to eliminating the lines around her eyes and has shaved the years off her appearance. In a new interview with the Daily Post, she said: “Have I had any work done? Well, that’s a very personal question! But, no, I get a few lines around my eyes so the closest thing to work I get is Botox once in a while.”

While Elaine’s not previously gone under the knife, she certainly won’t rule out the possibility. In fact, she’s explained that she can foresee a time when plastic surgery will be the solution to maintaining her youth. She added: “There will come a time when I’ll notice enough to decide whether I’m going to need to get something more drastic done. But I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.”

The West End star has previously made similar comments, even going so far as to pinpoint a necklift as a procedure that she’s been eyeing up. Earlier this year, she told the Mirror: “I’m tempted as it’s all falling down. I’m a bit of a scaredy-cat, so I’m not sure if I’ll go through with it, but if I suddenly look 10 years younger, you’ll know I have.”

You have options, too

It would seem that Elaine is moving closer and closer to undergoing a cosmetic procedure. Meanwhile, there’s no need to put off your choice of procedure if you’ve already made up your mind about which one is for you.

Can cosmetic surgery improve your job prospects? Brits think so!

THERE ARE MANY AMAZING BENEFITS LINKED TO UNDERGOING PLASTIC SURGERY.

For instance, there’s the likelihood that a procedure – such as liposuction or a nose job – can boost a person’s self-esteem and help them achieve new levels of confidence. However, it would seem that a lot of people now believe that the advantages stretch much further than someone’s personal life.

BEAUTY BIAS IN THE WORKPLACE

According to a survey conducted by the Cosmetic Surgery Solicitors, 20% of people who consider going under the knife believe that it will improve their job prospects. The research found that a massive 72% think that there is ‘beauty bias’ in the workplace, while 28% of those surveyed feel that their good looks play a factor in them being treated more positively at work.

The 2017 report echoes similar findings from the past decade. In 2011 – just a few short years after the global financial crisis – Sky television aired a show called My Face My Body. This broadcast determined that 57% of men had begun to turn to procedures such as lip fillers and Botox in order to gain an advantage over others in the job market. At the time, presenter Stephen Handisides interviewed Dr Bob Khanna, who said: “Men are even happy talking about it. In this difficult economic climate people will look to get that extra edge on colleagues and a cosmetic treatment can give you that.”

COSMETIC SURGERY IS BECOMING MORE WIDELY ACCEPTED

This trend towards people desiring to look young and beautiful for work isn’t actually anything new. While it’s clearly becoming more widely accepted in the general public, actors and actresses have actually been having work done for years in order to gain roles and maintain their standing in Hollywood. In fact, in 2015, soap star Claire King admitted that she had a facelift to stay in favour with casting directors. After the operation, she told Closer magazine: “I’ve been working pretty much non-stop ever since.”

WILL COSMETIC SURGERY HELP YOU?

People undergo cosmetic work for numerous reasons – and you don’t need to explain your reasons to anyone else should you not want to. Once you’ve got an idea of what procedure you want, you can get all the information you need by getting in touch with the Belvedere Clinic.

Sharon Osbourne's attitude towards cosmetic surgery is infectious

SHARON OSBOURNE HAS NEVER BEEN ONE TO KEEP HUSH WHEN IT COMES TO HER HISTORY OF PLASTIC SURGERY.

Now, the X Factor judge – who’s undergone numerous cosmetic procedures during her career – has insisted that every one of the operations was done to benefit herself and herself only. When quizzed about whether she was urged to alter her appearance to attract male attention, she told Event magazine: “I do this for myself. I spent years looking like an Oompa Loompa. I am not doing it to get a man.”

In the past, Sharon has confessed to undergoing a facelift, a breast reduction and a tummy tuck – amongst many other procedures. In fact, she once jokingly told The Sun: “There’s not much I haven’t had tweaked, stretched, peeled, lasered, veneered, enhanced or removed altogether.”

It would seem that Sharon’s attitude towards cosmetic surgery is infectious. After all, husband Ozzy Osbourne has also been under the knife because he was unhappy with his face. In 2005, he told Reveal: “It boosted my confidence no end. I’ve had a face job and a new nose.”

The rocker later promoted cosmetic surgery during an interview with Glamour magazine. He explained: “My philosophy is that if, when you look in the mirror, all you can see is the double chin or the big nose, and it makes your life easier to have them cut off, do it.”

Now, Grace Davies – one of Sharon’s acts on X Factor – looks to have taken inspiration from her mentor. Nearing closer and closer to a record deal, the talent show star is already weighing up the positives of pumping up her pout and mending some damage caused by anaemia. Last month, Grace told OK! magazine:“I would get lip fillers and I would definitely get a hair transplant. I had anemia and was really stressed at college and lost my eyebrows, eyelashes and some of my hair, which hasn’t grown back in places.”

Have Sharon’s words hit home?

If like Sharon you’re ready to make a change, then there’s no better person to do it for than yourself. For information on finding a procedure that’s perfect for you, get in touch with Belvedere Clinic .

Kim Kardashian's cosmetic surgeries

KNOWN AS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND A HUGELY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS WOMAN – KIM KARDASHIAN

has been open throughout her career in the spotlight about her plastic surgeries and the cosmetic procedures she’s undergone to enhance her look. With a life lived constantly in the spotlight, it’s no surprise she’s spent so much time and money investing in her physical appearance, with stunning results.

BELOW WE’VE LOOKED AT HER COSMETIC SURGERIES FROM THE LAST DECADE.

THAT BUM

Kim Kardashian’s bum is the stuff of legend, inspiring people the world over to take to the gym, squatting huge weights, or opting for cosmetic procedures to achieve an incredible curve to their buttocks. In Keeping up with the Kardashians, Kim went as far as having an x ray to prove she’d never had a butt implants, but with other cosmetic procedures, including fat transfer deposits or just a simple thigh and buttock lift, available, the chances are she enhanced her natural figure using other cosmetic enhancements. The shape and size of her buttocks have grown considerably throughout her career and been a constant source of fascination from the media, suggesting it’s been well worth her investment.

RHINOPLASTY

Whilst Kim puts her new nose shape down to expert contouring, it’s hughly likely she’s undergone a rhinoplasty. Looking at it with an expert opinion, it appears she’s had the bridge of her nose straightened out and slimmed down – a procedure known as a septo rhinoplasty. She’s also had an alar base reduction, which defines the tip of her nose. Whilst she works with some of the best make up artists in the world, the overall structure appears to have changed more dramatically than anything that could be achieved from make up, giving Kim a more symmetrical appearance to her face.

LIPOSUCTION

Kim’s dramatic weight gain and then loss with daughter North suggests she’s undergone liposuction to slim down and increase the tiny appearance of her waist. Usually, patients spend up to six weeks after the procedure avoiding physical exertion and wearing a compression garment, which would’ve been perfect timing for Kim whilst resting post birth.
