Self-image and self-confidence
Many people feel unhappy with certain aspects of their appearance, which can lead to low self-esteem. Undergoing eyelid surgery for cosmetic reasons is often seen as a way to address this dissatisfaction and increase self-confidence. After eyelid surgery, some people feel more attractive, which can lead to increased self-confidence and improved self-esteem. Many people choose to have eyelid surgery because they feel uncomfortable with their appearance. Droopy eyelids or bags under the eyes can make a person look tired, angry or older than they feel, which can negatively impact self-esteem. After the procedure, people can often feel more confident and satisfied with their appearance, which can improve their overall well-being.
Social influences
Our society often sets implicit or explicit beauty standards. This can cause people to feel pressured to conform to these standards, especially if they are in environments where appearance is important, such as the media, fashion, or certain social circles. This can create social pressure and can make people feel inadequate, which can motivate them to undergo eyelid surgery. Celebrities who openly undergo eyelid surgery for cosmetic reasons can normalize or even encourage the choice to undergo surgery, for example.
Not only social media, but also opinions and experiences of friends, family members or colleagues who have undergone an eyelid correction can influence someone's decision. Positive experiences in the immediate environment can lower the threshold to undergo a procedure yourself.
