Older, or aging people have found an outlet in cosmetic surgery that psychologically makes them feel younger and more vibrant as they start to look better. Especially in the case of the elderly, a healthy appearance is sometimes the determining factor in whether they feel or are healthy. Older patients of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery benefit psychologically, as well as physically from improving their body image. Whether it's removing fat through liposuction from an obese person, or merely giving a facelift to someone who is feeling in the dumps about their older appearance, all of these things help to improve the person spiritually as well as physically. In today's society, inevitably, attractiveness aids in social acceptance.
Good looks are often helpful in receiving more attention as well.
To achieve this social satisfaction, many often look to plastic surgery to take away that extra lump or bump, or improve some other fault one might find with themselves. Plastic surgery, is somewhat of a miracle cure for patients in these unfortunate cases. Abnormalities can fortunately be reconstructed by such surgery. An example of this kind of surgery would be a clef palate or some other born-defect. If one has a poor self-image or is unhappy with the way they look, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is their answer.
