Rising Divorce Rate Fuels Increase in Revenge Cosmetic Surgery

The number of women who seek cosmetic surgery after a divorce is increasing drastically. A recent study by the National Women’s Health Resource Center showed that about 40% of women going through divorce sought cosmetic surgery to improve their looks and show their exes what they’ll miss after the divorce — a trend called revenge cosmetic surgery. The same study revealed that majority of these people reported a boost of confidence after going under the knife to enhance their physical appearances.

Most Sought-After Cosmetic

A lot of recently divorced women seek breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction, eyelid surgery and facelift. A good number of these women opt for a combination of different procedures to sculpt their body. Women who have had children often feel self-conscious about the way their breasts droop and their tummies sag, so they opt to have breast augmentation, liposuction and tummy tuck. Older women who want to look a few years younger often go for facelifts and eyelid surgery.

Does Cosmetic Surgery Really Trigger Positive Emotions?

Majority of those women who had cosmetic surgery reported feeling good about themselves after the procedure. To a large extent, looking good can help women coup with the changes, pains and stress that come during and after a divorce. However, “revenge” cosmetic surgery is not a substitute for counseling and therapy. In fact, we recommend that women who are going through painful divorces should seek counseling first before having cosmetic surgery to enhance their looks.

Revenge cosmetic surgery is not the answer to your divorce woes but it can certainly help you feel better and look better. To know more about the different types of cosmetic procedures that can enhance your looks, call or email us now.
