With the acceptance of cosmetic surgery in our society, I’ve found it surprising how few blogs are tackling the subject. It’s my belief that everyone should be happy with how they look. We all have things we have to learn to love about ourselves, but I also think that anyone should be allowed to make improvements if they wish. My biggest belief is that cosmetic surgery procedures, both surgical and non-invasive, should be openly discussed. It’s the choice of an individual, and that individual should be well-informed about their choices. When Isabella from Cosmetic Surgery Guru contacted me about doing a guest post for Logical Harmony, I was more than happy to have it as part of the content here.

How much of a role should partners play in a decision about cosmetic surgery?

If you’re in a relationship, having cosmetic surgery is a big decision – for both of you. Although ultimately the final decision to go under the knife lies with you, partners are always going to influence the outcome one way or another.

Just a quick flick through real life magazines and newspaper agony aunt columns confirms how much of an issue this can be for couples, not just in the UK but around the world. Whichever way you look at it, it’s often a delicate situation with a number of factors to think about. For example, you may be sure that you want a cosmetic boob job, but your partner could be completely against the idea, reasoning that they like your breasts just the way they are. Your partner may be initially sceptical, but could come round the idea once they learn a little more about the treatment.

Or you could feel pressured to have treatment by your partner. In most cases, being told to have a treatment, whether something major like breast implants or something non-surgical treatment such as Botox, is never healthy for a relationship. Of course, partners can also encourage their lovers to have surgery in a more indirect way. If your husband is showing you less affection, especially in the bedroom, and openly commenting positively about women who’ve had surgery, it doesn’t take a genius to work out the hint he could be dropping.

For cosmetic surgery to have the desired outcome – and this is often more psychological than physical – it has to happen for the right reasons. Like we said, the final decision should always be yours, but it’s useful to get your partner involved. Are they in favour of the treatment? How will they feel once it’s been done?

If your relationship’s in a bit of a sexual rut, it may be that bringing up the possibility of surgery gives you both the jolt you need. After being shown a little more care and attention, you may even decide that you don’t want to go under the knife after all.

Like we said, the decision to have surgery is often involves a delicate balance. You’ll want to make sure that you ultimately rubber stamp the move, but also take on board feedback from your partner.

What are your experiences? Have you ever been encouraged to have plastic surgery by your partner? Or discouraged? Has your partner’s positive reaction even made you change your mind?
