“As the perpetrator of this, he can see both the expert and his environment. His anger and anger may increase, but in a kind of ritual he enters the vicious circle. He can go back to that specialist to fix it. Unfortunately, this situation increases the aesthetic operations in our country too. These operations have been carried out under the stairs. Based on these emotions, there are also operations for a little more profit. This causes the disease to consolidate and progress.”

IT’S IMPORTANT TO ACCEPT THE ILLNES

All the research during the day is directed towards this.”

This traumatic effect has a profound impact on competence and personality. If he sees that blow with physical elements, he has more to do with aesthetic operations to close it. Character and personality feature comes first in this. The environment is the second most important.”

You should be beautiful, you should be slim, you should be like this, you should do your makeup like this, your body should be like this ’ Adolescents and children are particularly exposed to this effect. Tendency to aesthetic surgery is much more in adolescence. Elimination of other environmental, economic, and mentally challenging conditions becomes the mainstay of treatment.”
