Abstract
BackgroundClient perspectives on cosmetic surgery are often shaped by a combination of social norms, personal experiences, cultural beliefs, media exposure, and individual values. This study aimed to explore and understand the attitudes, beliefs, and motivations of individuals who seek or are considering cosmetic surgery and to identify the factors that influence their decision-making. MethodsA questionnaire was given to all patients at the plastic surgery clinics, and the results were analyzed using the likelihood of having cosmetic surgery scale, the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, the life happiness scale, and the physical attractiveness scale. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used for the investigation of correlations, and a p-value of less than 0.05 was determined to be reliable. ResultsThe mean age of participants was found to be 33.9 years, with 40.8% male and 59.2% female. The results of the study indicate that there is a statistically significant correlation (r = 0.25) between the likelihood of having cosmetic surgery and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale. Additionally, there is a statistically significant correlation (r = 0.27) between the likelihood of having cosmetic surgery and the life happiness scale. Lastly, there is a statistically significant correlation (r = 0.39) between the likelihood of having cosmetic surgery and the physical attractiveness scale. ConclusionThese results suggest that a person's self-esteem, happiness, and level of physical attractiveness may play a role in their decision to pursue cosmetic surgery.
