The thought process that leads to the choice of cosmetic surgery
It can sometimes take years for someone to decide to undergo cosmetic surgery. This decision often involves many doubts and thoughts. Doubts about cosmetic surgery often arise because the decision to change something about your appearance is a major one. This consideration is a result of various psychological, social and practical factors that together form a complex decision-making process. People choose to undergo cosmetic surgery for various reasons, such as improving their appearance, increasing their self-confidence or correcting physical features that they are unhappy with.
Self-image & identity
Many people consider cosmetic surgery because they feel insecure about certain aspects of their appearance. This can be due to personal experiences, such as discomfort or dissatisfaction, but also to external factors, such as comments from others. People need time to think about whether they will still feel 'themselves' after surgery and whether the change in appearance will reflect their inner feelings. This constant fluctuation in how someone sees themselves makes it difficult to make a final choice and can delay the decision-making process for years.
