Topics
Carla Pappas: 我从小因为鼻子很大而感到自卑,这影响了我的自信心和社交生活。我曾做过鼻整形手术,但手术结果并不理想,这让我更加痛苦和后悔。术后,我经历了漫长的恢复期,并承受了巨大的经济压力。最终,我通过练习瑜伽和自我反思,逐渐学会了接纳真实的自己。 Liz Tang: Carla 的经历并非个例,许多人在整形手术后都会经历后悔、愤怒、恐惧和羞愧等负面情绪。整形手术的风险和恢复过程往往被人们忽视,这导致许多人对手术抱有不切实际的期望。 David Sarwer: 许多人对整形手术抱有不切实际的期望,他们认为改变容貌就能改变生活,但这并不现实。整形手术并不能解决所有问题,它只能改变容貌的一个方面。此外,在整形手术患者中,患有身体变形障碍的人群比例高于普通人群,整形手术往往会加重身体变形障碍的症状。 Scott Hollenbeck: 整形手术的效果因人而异,医生无法保证100%的满意度。手术的风险和恢复过程是不可控的因素,患者应该对此有充分的了解。 Maiken Scott: 我们对自身容貌的评价,会直接影响我们的情绪和自信心。当我们对自己的外貌感到不满或过度苛刻时,我们的自尊心、情绪和幸福感都会受到影响。
