Aesthetic dissatisfaction

Aesthetic dissatisfaction can affect both self-confidence and quality of life.

Possible causes

  • Age-related changes: wrinkles, sagging skin, loss of volume in the face and body.
  • Genetic predisposition: certain facial features or body shape that do not meet personal beauty ideals.
  • Weight changes: significant weight loss or gain can lead to sagging skin and changes in body shape.
  • Childbirth and breastfeeding: pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect the appearance of the body, especially the breasts and abdomen.

Should I see a doctor?

If aesthetic dissatisfaction is persistent, causes significant stress, or affects daily life, it is advisable to consult a specialist. For mild dissatisfaction that does not interfere with quality of life, self-care and lifestyle changes may be sufficient. However, if the dissatisfaction is severe, persistent, and causes psychological burden, help should be sought quickly from a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or psychologist to find suitable solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are fillers and what are they used for?

Fillers are non-surgical procedures where hyaluronic acid or other fillers are injected into the skin. They are used to smooth wrinkles, add volume (e.g., to lips, cheeks), and improve facial contours.

When is plastic surgery necessary and when are fillers sufficient?

Fillers are suitable for minor corrections and alleviating signs of aging. Plastic surgery is necessary for larger and more permanent changes, such as eyelid correction, breast augmentation or reduction, removal of excess skin after weight loss, or liposuction.

How to choose the right aesthetic procedure for yourself?

To choose the right procedure, it is important to consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. The doctor will assess your needs, wishes, and health condition and suggest the best solutions, explaining the benefits and risks of each procedure.

How to prepare for an aesthetic procedure?

Preparation depends on the type of procedure. Generally, it involves a thorough consultation with the doctor, where expectations, risks, and recovery period are discussed. Before the procedure, you may be asked to avoid certain medications (e.g., blood thinners), alcohol, and smoking. In some cases, blood tests or other examinations may also be required.

What are the long-term effects of aesthetic procedures?

Long-term effects depend on the type of procedure. Some procedures, such as fillers, are temporary and require repetition. The results of surgical procedures are more permanent, but the aging process continues, and new changes may occur over time. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow the doctor’s recommendations to maintain the results for as long as possible.
