Some people are always unsatisfied with one part of themselves and accept plastic surgery. After one operation, they feel dissatisfied with another part and go through plastic adjustment. In this way, plastic surgery is repeated for several times. However, it is not known that such frequent plastic surgery is suffering from "whole formation addiction". So, what is plastic addiction? Once suffering from it, how to alleviate it?
There are two types of plastic surgery addiction
Plastic addiction is a psychological disease that pays special attention to the external image and continues to plastic surgery.
Ding Xiaobang, a postdoctoral in plastic surgery of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, has encountered many patients with plastic addiction. Through the analysis of these patients' conditions, he roughly divides the patients into two types.
One is the excessive pursuit of perfection. At first, they only want to do partial plastic surgery. For example, they only want to cut the eyelids. Later, they find that the nose and eyes do not match each other, so they pad the bridge of the nose. After that, they find that the chin is not sharp enough, so they pad the chin again. One part after another, they try to make themselves the most perfect person.
Another addiction is the dependence on plastic surgery. Nowadays, botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid are widely used in clinical practice. Although this method is safe and effective, its' validity period 'is not long, which can only be maintained for about half a year to one year. So it needs to be repeatedly injected, into a cycle.
Plastic addiction comes from paranoid mentality
1. Don't identify with yourself
Plastic surgery people, there is a self denial, do not agree with the original mentality. They don't want to see the former themselves, want to get rid of the former self, and try to change. Even many of the previous life is not attributed to appearance, that only changing the appearance can change the original life and lead an ideal life.
2. Heart addiction
After the plastic surgery, I feel very satisfied to see my new self, and I also appreciate the self after plastic surgery. Before, the discomfort and pressure brought by my appearance have been relieved with the change of my appearance, and I feel happy both physically and mentally. The feeling of pleasure, happiness and satisfaction after cosmetic surgery is far greater than the pain caused by surgery. These happiness will further promote plastic surgery, so the whole again and again.
3. Phantom ugliness
Continuous plastic surgery is often suffering from phantom ugliness, always think that their looks ugly, constantly plastic, constantly seeking perfection, has not been satisfied with the previous plastic appearance. I always hope to make myself beautiful by reshaping again.
This can be done to slow down plastic addiction
1. Relax yourself and divert your attention
Plastic addicts should let their body and mind relax, take part in some outdoor activities, recreational activities, find their own way of life and career to realize their self-worth, and shift their attention from plastic surgery.
2. Adjust mentality and reshape aesthetics
Everyone has a love for beauty, but we must realize that beauty is multi-level. It is not only the eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and other facial features must be beautiful, but a three-dimensional, harmonious feeling. Don't go too far for perfection.
3. Seek help from a psychologist
In the case of ineffective self-regulation, patients with plastic addiction should actively seek help from a psychologist to find out the causes of their plastic addiction and actively cooperate with the treatment of doctors.
