The popularity of plastic surgery has spiked in recent years, with more and more female and male patients seeking customized cosmetic treatment. One of the main reasons behind this spike is the advances in plastic surgery techniques and technology. Cosmetic procedures are now safer, more affordable and more accessible than ever.

5 Ways Plastic Surgery Improves Your Life & Wellbeing
Even though some people believe that plastic surgery is for superficial attention-seekers, that is not true. Patients who trust Dr Stavrou and the European Institute of Plastic Surgery in Cyprus, Greece and Malta, want to improve their physical and mental health, or recover from a deformity or injury. Let’s see how cosmetic procedures help patients increase the quality of their life.
1. Relieves Pain

2. Resolves Health Problems

3. Boosts Self-Esteem

Looking better makes you feel better too. People unsatisfied with their appearance feel inadequate, tend to avoid social interactions, develop social phobias, and may even face depression symptoms at some point in their life. The correlation between mental well-being and plastic surgery is not an aspect we can overlook. Multiple studies have confirmed that patients who had a cosmetic procedure become happier, more confident and ready to take on new challenges.
4. Motivates Adoption of Healthier Habits
5. Improves Sleep

An oversized breast or a damaged nose make it difficult for patients to sleep well. A common complaint from women with big breasts is that they spend hours tossing and turning in discomfort before falling asleep. Breast reduction is a safe and effective procedure that helps women with large and heavy breasts get back their dream time.
Likewise, people with a misshapen nose find it difficult to sleep at night due to snoring, nasal congestion, or even sleep apnea. A nose job (rhinoplasty) is the most effective procedure for reshaping and repairing nose deformities, offering patients a better and more comfortable sleep.
