Cosmetic Surgery: Do it for You, Not for Him

In the overwhelming majority of cases, spouses and boyfriends say that they are supportive of what their wife or girlfriend wants to do in terms of plastic surgery. Most of them say that they don't think their significant other actually needs plastic surgery, but that they are supportive nonetheless. Unfortunately, there is a small minority of men who for whatever reason want their wife or girlfriend to have cosmetic surgery, perhaps to come more closely to the elusive "ideal" female form. If a woman has such a man in her life, then she must make sure that if she elects to have plastic surgery, it is her own decision and that she isn't being pushed into it when she's reluctant.

If a husband or boyfriend requests that a woman have plastic surgery, then he is probably a loser that is not worth considering as a partner. Anyone who commits to a relationship with the idea of changing their partner to more closely conform to some imagined "ideal" pretty much starts the relationship out with serious commitment problems. If you are contemplating cosmetic surgery, ask yourself if it was your idea originally, or if it is something that you would be doing in an attempt to keep your partner's affection or loyalty. If it is the latter, then you should seriously reconsider your choice.

While most good cosmetic surgeons are good at unearthing these rather unhealty motivations, there are some who only care about increasing their income and won't discourage cosmetic surgery that is undertaken for questionable reasons. Ideally, each person who has cosmetic surgery will arrive at their decision independent of other people's opinions. There are a lot of healthy people who choose plastic surgery because they have always been dissatisfied with one aspect of their appearance, and they feel like having the surgery will allow them to stop obsessing about it and get on with their lives.

There are people, however, who become obsessed with having cosmetic procedures and end up chasing after an ideal that they can never reach. This is a very unhealthy psychological situation that most cosmetic surgeons are able to recognize. Many will refuse to continue working on such a patients, but there always seems to be another surgeon around who will keep right on "fixing" things regardless of a patient's motivation for having the procedure. Even for those having surgery with healthy motives, an over-eager surgeon may be better avoided.

The ideal cosmetic surgery candidate is not following fashion or the latest "hot" look, but has a serious dissatisfaction with a part of their body that can't be dealt with using makeup, exercise, or diet. Considering plastic surgery at the suggestion of a boyfriend or husband points to a serious problem in the relationship. Sometimes there is a fine line between being supportive and encouraging surgical fixes for perceived figure or facial flaws. Sometimes the best way to deal with such a partner is to resolve to lose 180 lbs. by telling him "goodbye" once and for all.
