Esteem, confidence and perfection
Answering “this question will allow you to get an idea of your self-esteem, the confidence you have in yourself and your ability to accept or not accept your body”. This is a very important phase because if cosmetic surgery responds to a form of discomfort beyond physical appearance, it is not the “scalpel” that will change this feeling. “First of all, it can be interesting to work on self-esteem, to revisit the foundations on which this esteem was built. »
Beyond the couple, this reflection with oneself will allow us to see clearly the quest for an improved, “perfect” body: does this wish respond to a diktat widely disseminated by social networks and in public opinion ? “It is good to realize if we wish to fit into the boxes of a collective ideal, even if it means moving away from what we really are. » Or if, conversely, a passive person, for example someone who has a complicated relationship with their body due to inhibition or even violence, removed femininity or virility, “will create the need to reconstruct a part of oneself, of one’s self-esteem…”. On this subject, “there is obviously no right answer. But by going through introspection, we connect with ourselves, we do not miss out on ourselves,” assures Laurence Normant.

What if the intervention has already taken place? “If the person feels better, and the decision was not made despite very damaged self-esteem, the reaction of others and in particular that of the spouse should have no effect. »
Note: the physical and psychological envelope are at the center of the decision for cosmetic surgery. Beyond the physical appearance modified by cosmetic surgery, self-esteem and feeling good in one’s body and in one’s mind can be achieved through physical activity. Sport positively reinforces self-image. Psychotherapy can also go in this direction.” In this regard, cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) can be of great help. So many avenues to take when the idea is simply “to be peaceful with who you are”.
