There is often a disconnect between the self we present to the world and our “true” self. Some people try to blur the line between the person they are inside and the person they present to others. They try to erase their imperfections and use plastic surgery to try to become that person they think they really are. However, plastic surgery does not change the “true” self. Many people today feel insecure about their bodies. They feel like people will judge them more if they have a crooked nose or eyes that are too close together. Some people get liposuction if they feel too fat or breast implants because they think it will make them more attractive to the opposite sex. These people who do not feel happy with the way their bodies present themselves to others, often feel this way because, according to psychologist Alan Feingold, “physically attractive people often receive preferential treatment and are perceived by others as more sociable, dominant, mentally healthy, and intelligent compared to less attractive people. (Feingold, 304-341) Individuals who think they are ugly can transform themselves from “ugly ducklings” to “swans” using plastic surgery. Does plastic surgery actually make patients feel better? Studies have shown that people report having greater satisfaction with the body part they have had work done on. The short-term effects were that people felt better about themselves. However, results are more mixed regarding whether plastic surgery increases patients' long-term self-esteem and their long-term quality of life. A study conducted by David Sarwer, another psychologist, found that after receiving cosmetic surgery, “as many as 90% of patients report being satisfied with the surgical result…. comment or make them feel uncomfortable." He also says, "They also want their physical appearance to be more in line with their personality and feel that they want all parts of their body to match." (Dittmann, 30) When the person who she had the surgery, she thinks her "new" body fits her true personality, more often than not, it doesn't completely fit her. They have to keep having surgeries to get their "bodies" perfect. You can try to make him present himself to the world in a different way than he really is. Undergoing too much plastic surgery can lead to an identity crisis, where the person no longer knows who he is inside, that person is still the same person. he doesn't know which body he really wants. In essence, it is the bodies themselves that change, not the personalities or the individual's “true” self.
