Psychologists warn that plastic surgery can lead to an identity crisis, among other psychological issues. If you were a fan of the MTV reality series The Hills, youll remember the complete physical transformation of Heidi Montag. In mere months, she went from a petite(矮小), natural beauty from Colorado to resembling some sort of blonde Barbie as a result of multiple facial and body reconstructive surgeries that she didnt even attempt to hide from the public. Whats worse is that she was in her early 20s at the time. We all figured that deep psychological issues were at the root of Montags shocking procedure list, and now, according to a number of U. S. psychologists, we can safely assume that she may also be suffering from an identity crisis. Psychologist Paul Lorene tells the Daily Mail that most patients undergo cosmetic surgery for the wrong reasons, wanting to look similar to a particular model or actor. " They have this glorified picture of this perfect identity," he says, and this can lead to deep psychological problems when the patients discover the identity they were after isnt actually perfect. Often people dont realize the attachments they have to their facial features until they alter them with surgery. Perhaps you always hated your large nose, but whether you liked it or not, it was a part of you for your life thus far. If you have surgery to make it smaller, it is reasonable to believe that your self identity could suffer if you end up feeling disconnected from your own face that is now unfamiliar. Do you think cosmetic surgeries can cause identity crisis? Comment 1; The image that people see in the mirror and take for granted actually runs deeper. After appearance-altering surgery, some patients come to realize " that imperfection is actually part of their identity". Comment 2: The identity crisis exists long before the surgery takes place. If you dont get plastic surgery you will still have an identity crisis. I have identity crisis every morning when I look in the mirror. When did 1 get older? And where the hell is my hair? Comment 3: To quote American Judge Judy, "Beauty fades, dumb is forever. " Comment 4: When you look in the mirror and dont recognize yourself, then you have an identity crisis. Really, these studies and articles of this sort are stating the obvious.
