Many people visit Ruho Plastic Surgery to improve their own beauty and complexes.

But perhaps because human desire has no limit?

Among those who have found beauty through plastic surgery,

there are also people who are not satisfied and do not stop having procedures in pursuit of even better results.

So if you have plastic surgery twice, does that mean you’re addicted to plastic surgery?

What is the standard for plastic surgery addiction?

Today, the chief director of Ruho Plastic Surgery, Director Park Ilwon, and psychiatrist Director Yang Jae-woong

are said to explain everything about plastic surgery addiction as discussed in psychiatry!

How is plastic surgery addiction judged?

Before looking into plastic surgery addiction, shall we first look at the criteria for judging addiction?

Addiction is a phenomenon accompanied by tolerance and withdrawal symptoms.

Tolerance refers to the phenomenon in which, when a certain stimulus is present and then stops,

an even stronger, higher level of stimulus is craved in order to achieve the same satisfaction.

Withdrawal symptoms are a psychological state in which, when the stimulus stops coming in,

one feels anxious or thinks something is wrong.

People who are addicted to plastic surgery are similar.

Because of the tolerance and withdrawal symptoms mentioned above, they find it difficult to stop having plastic surgery itself.

When they pay the same amount and have a similar level of plastic surgery,

they can no longer feel satisfied and show symptoms of trying to get more expensive procedures and undergo more surgeries.

If someone had eye surgery and was so satisfied that they want to get their nose done too,

can that be considered plastic surgery addiction?

In such a case, it is not because of tolerance and withdrawal symptoms

and not because they cannot stop having surgery,

but because they liked the director’s skill and the surgical result and chose another area,

so it is somewhat difficult to call that plastic surgery addiction.

If you feel anxious when you cannot have plastic surgery,

if you are having plastic surgery regularly more than 5 or 6 times, or

if the intervals between procedures are getting shorter and shorter,

you may suspect plastic surgery addiction.

The area that had surgery is so swollen—isn’t that a problem?

I think there is asymmetry. What should I do?

Could this be an inflammatory reaction?

How should anxiety after plastic surgery be handled?

The first way to reduce anxiety is

sufficient empathy.

After surgery, doctors inevitably have to inform patients of the worst-case scenario,

and can only provide care in a very conservative, defensive way.

But from the patient’s point of view, they may feel the doctor is too cold

and may even end up resenting them.

So the first way to reduce anxiety is for the director to empathize with the patient’s concerns and help relieve their anxiety.

The second way to reduce anxiety is

honesty! And more honesty!

If you give a child candy even though you know it will cause cavities just to comfort them,

later you will face a bigger problem.

But this kind of behavior can break the trust between patient and doctor,

and ultimately damage the doctor-patient relationship.

If you approach it by saying that you will work through the patient’s concerns and problems together,

it can actually ease the patient’s anxiety and build trust.

So much so that the term “doctor god” was created,

patients come to plastic surgeons with very high expectations.

Among the patients who visit Ruho Plastic Surgery, there are sometimes people who say,

"I don’t really know, so I’ll leave it to the director."

If you do not know exactly what you want and leave everything entirely to the director,

there may be cases where you are unable to handle the results after surgery at all.

So in order to manage anxiety about plastic surgery well,

you need to have the mindset that you are responsible for the results of your own choices,

and it is important to find a director who can create the best possible result.

How can obsession with appearance be reduced?

In fact, appearance is very closely related to first impressions,

and from a biological perspective, it can help occupy a highly advantageous position in survival and reproduction.

In particular, with the rise of social media, it seems we are living in an era where appearance can be utilized to the fullest.

But at the same time, because it creates constant comparison,

it can intensify obsession with appearance and cause stress related to appearance.

The ultimate purpose of plastic surgery is to become happier.

So Ruho Plastic Surgery would like to say that the most important thing is to protect the standard of happiness that exists within you.

We will always be a Ruho Plastic Surgery that thinks about finding the happiness behind beauty as well.
