Rhinoplasty – Worried About Stigma
Rhinoplasty, or nose jobs, are popular amongst the A-list, but
is there still a stigma attached when it comes to cosmetic
surgery?
Some of the leading lights in the entertainment business have
had a rhinoplasty. In fact, some of the most famous people to have
ever graced the planet are well known for their love of cosmetic
surgery, including rhinoplasty. And yet, when non-famous people
make a decision that they would love to have a rhinoplasty, or any
other kind of cosmetic surgery, they often struggle with a worry
that they may be stigmatised for this decision by their friends or
family.
Rhinoplasty – No Longer an 'American Vanity'
Look at any story profiling someone who has had a rhinoplasty or
cosmetic procedure, often you'll hear how their mum, boyfriend,
husband or grandma disapproved. And yet, many of the stories end
with the person in question saying how that rhinoplasty transformed
their lives, boosted their self confidence or helped them feel
happier with themselves. But times are changing, the days when many
in the UK felt cosmetic surgery was predominantly an American
vanity, are over.
Rhinoplasty and Cosmetic Surgery – Normal and Accessible to
All
The more respected, talented personalities talk openly about
their rhinoplasty, face lift or eye lift, the more acceptable and
normal cosmetic surgery has become. And with more rhinoplasty
operations than ever taking place in the UK, it's likely you know
someone who has had some cosmetic surgery of some kind. TV shows
like the American hit Nip/Tuck has also helped more people to step
forward and discuss openly their rhinoplasty, liposuction or breast
augmentation. The catchphrase for the show about plastic surgeons
is: “Tell me what you don't like about yourself”. It's a line that
hits home for people in Britain as well as America. Whether you are
a glamour model, plumber, academic or a teacher, if you have a part
of your body that you despise, such as a big nose, a rhinoplasty,
or cosmetic procedure is an obvious solution.
