Satis-fied patients of repu-table plastic surgery providers like Beverly Hills Physicians have long spoken of the benefits they’ve seen in their own lives from their proce-dures, but only recently has this ben-efit been proven through research. According to data published in the Facial Plastic Surgery section of the Journal of the American Medical As-sociation, women who receive facial procedures intended to make them look younger are viewed as more likeable, attractive and feminine af-ter having the procedure.The study, conducted by researchers at the Georgetown University School of Medicine, had 173 participants look at either the before or after pho-to of 30 different female facial plas-tic surgery patients. They all rated each picture as far as their perceived attractiveness, femininity, likability, and trustworthiness. The former three characteristics were shown to be higher in the after pictures. The excep-tion was that, while most people viewed the after pictures as more trustworthy, the margin was not deemed to be statisti-cally significant. It ap-pears that, in addition to the confi-dence that patients themselves feel, this boost in how others perceive them after plastic surgery can make procedures well worth the cost.According to Beverly Hills Physicians, this data makes sense.
