Should i do plastic surgery?

Should i do plastic surgery?
Will plastic surgery make me more confident?

Before i can answer this question i must first tell you how self confidence works. Self confidence comes from within and not from the outside world. This means that even if the whole world thinks that you are beautiful but for some reason you don't believe them then you will feel unattractive.

Most people do the mistake of trying to appeal to others without realizing that true self confidence only happens when your subconscious mind starts believing in you.

The way you perceive life changes according to the way you see yourself. if you bought a very expensive BMW then someone told you that BMW sucks then most probably you are going to put no weight to his opinion. If on the other hand someone told you that your shirt doesn't suit you at all you might start having self doubts.

In short, if you believe in something so much then the opinion of others is very likely to affect you while if you are not sure about something then any critical comment will affect you badly.(see also Why criticism is so hard to take)

The connection between self confidence and plastic surgery

The goal of plastic surgery should be allowing yourself to like your own looks and not allowing others to like your looks. If the whole world liked your looks while you weren't satisfied with them then most probably you won't feel confident.

This becomes evident when you hear some super models talking about being dissatisfied with their looks. If on the other hand you liked the way you look then most probably the comments of others won't affect you at all.

Based on these facts we can conclude that you should go for a plastic surgery if you dislike one of your facial features even if others believe that it looks OK.

Once you like your own looks you will feel confident around everybody with disregard to the opinion of others.

Is your looks the real problem?

Money people lack self confidence because their subconscious minds dislike something about them. Some people lack self confidence because they believe they are not competitive, others lack confidence because of believing that they are not smart while a third group of people might lack self confidence because of disliking one or more of their facial features.

In the Solid Self confidence program i said that as long as the root cause for the lack of self confidence was left untreated then most probably you won't be able to feel confident. If you made sure 100% that you lack confidence because of a facial feature that you dislike then go for plastic surgery.

Many people who lack self confidence because of any other reason, that is not related to their looks, mistakenly assume that the problem is with their looks. That's why they never become more confident after going for plastic surgery.

In fact most of those who do plastic surgery report being dissatisfied with the result after few weeks or even days.

In short, find the root cause for lack of self confidence and treat it. Only then you will become truly confident.
