It not only improves the appearance of a person, but also improves her attitude towards herself. They are more likely to be hired by employers and more likely to be found attractive by others.

In a recent study published by ASAPS, people who had cosmetic surgery had no problem being identified by college students as 10 years younger than their actual age.
