COSMETIC SURGERY & SELF ESTEEMMBADC:
From reading your website, I gather that you definitely get that you’re not just
dealing with bone and muscle, you’re also dealing with somebody’s self-esteem.
BA: Oh, absolutely. Cosmetic surgery is
really surgery for the self-esteem. Whether it’s doing for example, on an 8 year-old
kid who has really big ears and they get teased at school, or for someone who’s been
bothered by their nose for all their life or they’ve been teased, or they’re
unhappy with the way they look…As [they] age, people feel tired and don’t feel
so great about themselves. The self-esteem is a very, very, very important component of
cosmetic and plastic surgery.
