With the feeling of warmer weather this past week-end and thinking that Spring and Summer are just around the corner, it’s easy to start seeing the less than desirable features gained over the Winter months. Our personal appearance can be a major factor on your self-esteem.

Aside from the difference plastic surgery can provide for your physical features, there are also a number of psychological benefits to undergoing cosmetic procedures.

Research Shows Plastic Surgery Leads to Higher Self-Esteem

A study, published in Clinical Psychology Science, reports that people who undergo plastic surgery have a higher self-esteem and are less anxious than people who have opted not to have plastic surgery.

This boost in self-esteem could be one of the reasons there were more than 14.6 million cosmetic plastic surgery procedures, including both minimally-invasive and surgical, performed in the United States last year, up 5 percent since 2011 according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Give Your Self-Esteem A Makeover

With limited time before the beach weather comes, there are a number of ways to boost your self- esteem without spending hours in the gym.

Surgical procedures like a face lift or eyelid surgery can provide great results for a more youthful facial appearance. Less invasive procedures, such as injectable treatments like Botox or dermal fillers like Juvederm, can help with the crows feet and other lines that develop around the face and eyes as one ages.

Other procedures like VASER liposuction are a great way to reduce the appearance of trouble spots around your stomach, thighs and love handles.
