5 reasons not to have a cosmetic treatment

There are various reasons why people come to consult a cosmetic doctor. It is very important for me to understand the reason why someone wants to have a cosmetic treatment. For the treatment to be successful and to get a nice natural result, it is very important that the patient has good expectations because sometimes a patient actually benefits more from different advice. Here are some of the reasons for which cosmetic surgery is not a solution: 1. You want to look like a Hollywood star: If you aim to look like a famous person, you have the wrong motivation. You are unique just the way you are. We can certainly beautify and enhance your appearance, but why would you want to look like someone else? My passion lies primarily in maintaining the natural appearance and beauty of the unique person. Here I am not looking for the ideal image, but your ideal image. 2. You are depressed: If you are depressed, cosmetic procedures can be a short-term solution and make you feel better. However, this often does not meet long-term needs. It is important to investigate the cause of depression and only then decide whether you are still interested in a cosmetic treatment. 3. Creating happiness: A cosmetic treatment will not make you happy. Happiness depends on a lot of factors. Your inner and outer self must be in balance. With a cosmetic treatment, I can change the way you look at yourself and how you feel. 4. Impress: You do a cosmetic treatment for yourself and because you want it and not for anyone else. 5. Dissatisfaction with our appearance is common. People sometimes exaggerate a bit, but they can also become really obsessed. This could be one of the first signs of Body Dysmorphic Disorder, a disorder in body experience. With cosmetic procedures, I can make you look better, feel better and improve your quality of life, but always take a critical look at whether a treatment is necessary and whether it makes you “more beautiful”.
