Study Proves People Who Have Plastic Surgery Make Better First Impressions

Many studies have shown that first impressions are greatly influenced by facial appearance but this interesting report published in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is the first of its kind to scientifically validate that patients who underwent facial cosmetic surgery created a better first impression after they had the surgery.

Randomly selected observers were asked independently to view and grade before and after photos of patients who underwent facial cosmetic surgery. They did not know the pre- or postoperative status of the photo. The questions posed to the reviewers were based on first-impression studies used in the past.

Findings indicate that after facial cosmetic surgery, patients were graded as 31% more attractive, 27% better in social skills, 22% % more successful in dating, 19% better in athletic skills, 15% better in relationship skills, and 13% more financially successful.

Dr. Steven H. Dayan, the principle investigator of the study, explained, "There appears to be innate characteristics in all of us that attract us to definable standards of beauty. I am often told by my patients that following their cosmetic surgery procedure they have achieved a new job, an improved romantic relationship or greater personal success. I had always felt that it was secondary to a greater self confidence which had projected through, but I now have to consider that maybe there is more to it."
