Plastic surgery contributes to self-esteem and quality of life

Plastic surgery has been increasingly sought after by people who wish to correct changes in their body caused by weight loss, pregnancy, aging or characteristics that have caused discomfort for many years. In addition to aesthetics, the procedures can represent an important step towards recovering self-esteem, well-being and quality of life. Plastic surgery contributes to self-esteem and quality of life. According to plastic surgeon Dr. Paulo Aveline, many people seek interventions after a long period of living with dissatisfaction that interferes with the way they see themselves and even their routine. "Plastic surgery is not about seeking a standard of beauty, but about giving the patient back their identity with their own body. When someone doesn't recognize themselves in the mirror, whether due to the consequences of weight loss, pregnancy or natural changes over time, this can interfere with the way they dress, relate to each other and even their confidence. Correcting these changes has an impact on self-esteem and well-being", he explains. Among the most commonly performed procedures today are mastopexy, with or without a silicone prosthesis, abdominoplasty associated with liposuction and liposuction to define specific regions of the body. The demand for procedures aimed at men has also been growing, especially for the treatment of gynecomastia and body contouring.

The most important thing is that the patient is mature enough to understand the procedure, is in good health and has expectations compatible with the results that can be achieved. Another fundamental aspect is to seek guidance from a qualified professional and clarify all doubts before surgery. An individualized assessment allows us to indicate the most appropriate procedure for each case, respecting the characteristics and needs of each patient.

The decision must be made with information, safety and without rushing", he highlights.
