THE BEAUTY STANDARD

  • Being open about getting plastic surgery is great and it should be celebrated, but it can also take a toll on people's mental health
  • Comparison is a killer and it's not hard to see someone we see online and want to look just like them.

ADDICTED TO LOOKING PERFECT

  • Once some people start, they can't stop.
  • People become addicted to getting surgery to try to look perfect. These people suffer with a disorder called Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
  • “Body dysmorphic disorder only affects about 1% to 2% of the general population but has been found to be up to 15 times more prevailant in those seeking plastic surgery.” - Jena Hillard

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT'S RIGHT FOR YOU?

  • Everyone wants to look good but remember that plastic surgery is not easy to be un-done. So, make sure it's something that you truly want to be done.
  • Also, don’t alter your body for anyone but yourself.
  • Finally, remember to be realistic. Every body type is different for a reason and there is no such thing as perfect.
  • “The key to finding happiness with your plastic surgical results are maintaining good communication with your Specialist Plastic Surgeon and ensuring your expectations are realistic” - Dr. Rebecca Wyten
