Recent research shows that cosmetic surgery can actually be a powerful mood enhancer.

A significant number of people stopped needing anti-depressants after having cosmetic surgery. Also, 98% of patients said that cosmetic surgery markedly improved their self esteem.

These findings were presented at the 2006 annual meeting in San Francisco of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. One of the scientists said; “Plastic Surgery patients are taking a proactive approach in making themselves happier by improving something that truly bothers them.”

We have always known that cosmetic surgery improves self-esteem and body image.

In fact, that’s the best argument in favor of cosmetic surgery.

This study is summarized in the journal Plastic Surgery Practice Advisor.
