Why Do Post-Ops Fall Into The Trap Of Depression?
Many wonder why depression is such a common element in cosmetic surgery recuperation and if there’s any scientific basis behind it. The answer to that question is indeed rooted in the nature of the process and the body’s response to cosmetic surgery both psychologically and physically. Starting with the obvious physical reasons, one suffers from excruciating pains during cosmetic surgery recuperation, those pains lead to depression and frustration over time.
Going to the psychological side, fears of failure, inability to adjust to new looks, or dealing with external reactions to surgery may lead to depression. Not to mention, many of the pain killers described to post-op patients can lead to severe depression and disorientation. The key is to stay patient and stay on track.
