Does cosmetic surgery improve quality of life?


Scientific evidence demonstrates it

The decision to undergo cosmetic surgery goes far beyond the mirror. For many people, it represents a step towards greater confidence, well-being, and bodily function. A recent multicenter study published in Developmental Medico-Life-Sciences offers clear evidence: cosmetic surgery improves physical, emotional, and social quality of life.


Data Supporting the Decision to Change

This study was conducted with 100 patients from different clinics who underwent procedures such as liposuction, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, Botox, and dermal fillers. Changes in their quality of life were measured 3 to 6 months after surgery. The results are compelling:

  • Liposuction: 38% improvement in physical function (walking, climbing stairs, moving freely).
  • Breast augmentation: 47% improvement in emotional well-being.
  • Rhinoplasty: 41% improvement in self-esteem and confidence.
  • Botox: 30% improvement in social function (interaction and presence).
  • Dermal fillers: 28% improvement in confidence in social and work settings.


Young Patients, Big Benefits

Patients between 18 and 29 years old showed the most significant improvement in their emotional well-being, especially with visible facial and body procedures. This suggests that surgery can profoundly impact how individuals perceive themselves and relate to the world.

Minimally Invasive, Maximum Confidence

Procedures like Botox and fillers, though not surgical, also demonstrated a significant impact.. In just a few minutes, patients experienced notable improvements in their social and professional confidence.

Age Matters, But the Impact is for Everyone

While younger patients experienced more pronounced emotional improvements, the study showed that physical function improved regardless of gender, and that age influences the pace of recovery more than the overall benefit.
