Men and women of all ages pursue plastic surgery for a variety of reasons. Most plastic surgery patients feel insecure about some aspect of their appearance and seek plastic surgery to boost their self-confidence. Some have been bothered by these cosmetic issues their entire lives, while others have seen a gradual change in appearance as they age and wish to set back the clock with procedures such as facelift or brow lift surgery.

Plastic surgery can produce different results for different people. Some patients may seek a subtle change, others more dramatic transformations. For many women, plastic surgery provides an effective means of remedying some of the cosmetic concerns associated with giving birth. Known as the "Mommy Makeover," this post-pregnancy treatment generally includes procedures such as a tummy tuck and/or breast lift. In such cases the goal of surgery is not to transform the patient's appearance, but merely to give them back their pre-pregnancy body.

Many patients are now going under the knife in an effort to improve career opportunities. Men in particular often see plastic surgery as a means of achieving career goals. Since much of the stigma associated with plastic surgery has been eliminated over the last few decades, there has been a rise in plastic surgery among all ages, races, income levels, and backgrounds.

Most plastic surgeons advise prospective patients that it is best to go into their surgery with realistic expectations about the outcome. Unrealistic expectations often produce dissatisfaction post-procedure. It is important to discuss your reasons for pursuing plastic surgery with your doctor during a consultation.
