ABSTRACT

The search for beauty is universal and has been one of man’s eternal quests. This is reflected in how much time and energy people dedicate to the search for physical beauty as a means of achieving intimate well-being. Furthermore, competition and success, in social and professional circles, are intimately related to how a person reflects, in his or her physical appearance, this inner harmony. Basically, aesthetic surgery achieves this by correcting deformities that are experienced as psychologically uncomfortable or undesirable.
