External Motivations for Breast Surgery
External motivations for breast surgery are not nearly as important as
internal motivations.
However, they are still valid contributors to a woman’s choice to receive a
cosmetic breast surgery
procedure. The bodily alterations are only a small part of the overall changes
plastic surgery
makes upon the individual as a whole. The changes created in the emotional mind are far more significant and life changing than any physical alteration could ever be.
What are External Motivations for Breast Surgery?External motivators are factors outside of a woman’s own thoughts and feelings that make her desire cosmetic surgery. These external considerations should not be the deciding factor to undergo a procedure or not, but their influence might be a strong contributor to the decision. Women who undergo surgery solely because of external motivators are rarely happy with their choice or the long term results of the operation.Common External Influences for Breast Surgery* Desire to increase earnings or succeed in the workforce * Desire to please a mate or significant other * Desire to keep up with peers who are enjoying cosmetic surgery * Societal pressure to be beautiful or perfect * Defy the wishes of family or mate Recommendation on External Motivations for Breast SurgeryConsidering external motivators in the big picture is wise, but undergoing a surgical procedure exclusively because of external factors is almost always foolish. Cosmetic surgery exists primarily to satisfy psycho-emotional needs within oneself. The only primary external factor which might be responsible for surgery is the career oriented influence, specifically for adult entertainers. Women in this specific niche know that breast surgery can translate into big money and is a risk worth enduring in exchange for a chance at making the BIG BUCK$. However, many women excel in this career path with natural and even small breasts. Do not place too much credence in advice from a manager or agent unless you are truly happy with the idea of changing your body to suit your own needs. For the rest of you considering surgery to fulfill some external motivation, please think carefully and clearly. The choice is yours to make, but the desire for new breasts should be to satisfy you primarily and everyone else secondarily.Detailed information concerning the psychological effects of aesthetic breast surgery can be found in our Psychology of Cosmetic Surgery section.
