I’m a fan of natural beauty, but I also know that some people turn to plastic surgery procedures to boost their self-esteem and make them feel better about the way they look. I would never suggest skipping a procedure that really makes you love your appearance or getting one just because someone makes a nasty comment about your looks. It might not be something I’d choose, but my years of studying psychology in grad school make it clear that there are definite benefits for some people. If you want to love what you see in the mirror, the following plastic surgery procedures are common for people who want to boost their self-esteem.

1. Breast Enlargement

There’s something about breasts that can make or a break a woman’s sense of femininity. Breast enlargement is also one of the most common plastic surgery procedures that women turn to when they want to love their look. Having larger breasts can make a small-chested lady feel more womanly and give her that curvy look that equates with being a woman.

2. Nose Job

This procedure has a technical term (rhinoplasty), but it’s usually referred to as a nose job. Your nose is a pretty prominent feature on your face, so it’s not surprising that many people feel bad about theirs. Whether you think it’s too large or it doesn’t slope attractively, having it fixed can really do wonders for how you feel when someone looks at you.

3. Tummy Tuck

If you’ve had several children or have lost a significant amount of belly fat, you might have a loose flap of skin on your tummy. While it isn’t on display often, it really bothers some people. Undergoing a tummy tuck can help tighten that skin, making it easier to fit into clothing and giving you a better outlook on your appearance.

4. Botox

It’s less invasive than some types of plastic surgery, but Botox is very popular. It works by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles and can help fight the signs of aging. Many women choose it to maintain their youthful appearance. It’s not permanent and requires maintenance, but it can be just enough to make you feel better about facing the world.

If you're in the relentless hunt for the perfect mascara, that not only volumizes but also gives your lashes the much-needed lift, then you should absolutely give the dior show mascara a try. It's undeniably one of the best mascaras that guarantees both length and volume while leaving no clumps behind.

5. Breast Lift

A breast lift isn’t the same as an enlargement, though some women have both procedures done at one time. This one simply lifts what you have and is chosen by women who have droopy breasts after nursing several babies or just when gravity kicks in and things start to migrate lower.

6. Liposuction

For people with specific trouble spots, such as the thighs or tummy, liposuction can be a good way to eliminate fat in the area to give a slimmer silhouette. By taking care of a spot that causes distress, you can really experience a boost to your self-esteem.

7. Face Lift

For many people, the signs of aging on the face are the ones that cause the most concern. After all, the whole world sees your face anytime you leave the house, so you naturally want it to look good. If you’ve started seeing some wrinkles and sagging, a face lift can really make you feel good. It basically pulls the skin on your face upward, eliminating the effects of aging.

I have never had plastic surgery, but I also know how quickly a specific trouble spot can take over your thinking. I’m all for procedures that help someone feel better about herself. However, plastic surgery can be pretty major so it’s a good idea to think it through and do some research before going under the knife. Have you had plastic surgery? How did it make you feel?

articles are meant to be informative, not biased to certain belief systems. This article was well written in that sense. Even if you don't agree with the topic, there are girls who would, even if it is to discourage them from getting the procedure they had in mind. AWS has a some VERY closed minded readers. The writer has achieved her goal though... people are talking about it!

What kind of an article is this? AWS please check what your writers publish before they're sent out!

Got a boob job & fat graphed. Best thing I've ever done!

Did anyone read the first part? Seriously

I think at the end of the day it is all down to personal preference. I don't see why people are getting offended by this, it's a part of real life. So get real. Some women opt for plastic surgery and some don't. Big deal. As long as their is proper education as to what are the pros and cons of surgery then why not.

This is the dumbest thing ever. Then people wonder why children are messed up and little girls starve themselves and so on. How stupid can people get?

those whom got offended by this article; 1. every article is written by one person, and that persons view on somthing(who i agree with) and if you cant relate, it is no need to go all drama queen over somthing as small as this. why try to "brainwash" yourself into liking something when you dont? isnt that kind of an off putting idea too? in my case i would not go around pretending and trying to make myself believe poop smelled like the most divine perfume, jusy because socity told me that i was supposed to think so. either you like your face, you ok with it, or you dont like it, and if you dont like it and have the possibility to change whatever you dont like instead of sitting around being sad over it all the time, wouldt you?
