This time, I'd like to talk about self-esteem and cosmetic surgery.
Do you have an interest in cosmetic surgery?
It seems that people are becoming more tolerant of cosmetic surgery than they were a few years ago, but there are still some people who feel disgusted by it. But there may be some people who feel disgusted by it.
There are some people who feel disgusted with cosmetic surgery. If you don't have a lot of money to spend on cosmetic surgery for others or your family members, you can go ahead and do it, but I guess there are some people who don't.
The study I'm going to show you is about women's sexual self-esteem and cosmetic surgery.
If anyone is worried about cosmetic surgery, this may be something that can give you some push back.
The Study
This study was designed to investigate sexual self-esteem, attitudes toward body image, and well-being among 20-30 year old married women before and after cosmetic surgery in Tehran, Iran.
The study was a semi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test.
The population consisted of 80 married women and the sample was selected through a convenience sampling approach.
This group was similar in terms of age, education, and marital status.
Research data was accumulated using the Zeana and Schwartz Sexual Self-Esteem Questionnaire, the Fisher Body Image Questionnaire, and the Riff Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire, and analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance.
The resulting mean scores for all three variables, including "sexual self-esteem," "body image," and "happiness," were dramatically different before and after cosmetic surgery (p <0.05).
In conclusion, the results confirmed that after cosmetic surgery, people had higher sexual self-esteem, were more satisfied with their body image, and experienced more happiness.

Summary
In this study, there were no specific limitations, and those who underwent cosmetic surgery reported higher self-esteem, satisfaction with their altered bodies, and experienced a sense of well-being.
If there was anything that did not apply to them, it was that they had a history of mental illness, and if they had low self-esteem, it may not apply to them, but it was thought that they were affected by other factors rather than by the cosmetic surgery.
Therefore, when considering cosmetic surgery, it may be better to first improve your mental health to a certain extent, so that you will be more satisfied with the results after the surgery.
