The Surgical Experience from Husband’s Perspective
“Happy Wife, Happy Life” is a saying that seems to ring true according to husbands’ whose wives have had plastic surgery. With the current rise in the number of married women opting to have cosmetic procedures, Cruise Plastic Surgery takes a look at the transformative journey from the husbands’ perspective.
Commonly, when a woman brings up the subject of having a cosmetic procedure it can be met with initial apprehension from her husband. As one husband states: “I felt she was perfect just the way she was, and I was worried about the general ‘What if’ concerns that go along with having surgery.”
It is this reason that Dr. Cruise feels it is crucial to have the husband come along to the initial consultation so that a lot of the common concerns can be addressed.
It gives the husband a chance to really understand the reasons behind their wife desire to have surgery. Some are completely surprised when they hear their wife disclosing to the doctor her daily dissatisfaction with her particular area of concern.
“I had always known that Linda had wanted to get her body back after having the children, but I was completely baffled to learn that she was actually choosing to not participate in certain activities or be in family photos due to how she felt about how she looked, I was unaware of the level in which it was affecting her and the emotional toll it was taking,” says a patient’s husband.
While it is a known fact that the positive reactions to the physical results of having plastic surgery are plentiful and obvious, it is actually the inner transformation that the husbands comment on being the most dramatic change in their wives.
“I did not think it was possible to have my wife be more beautiful to me. Her attitude and the way she feels about her body now has turned her into a new person. When I see her checking herself out in the mirror and see the smile on her face, I know this surgery was the right decision,” says spouse of breast lift with augmentation patient.
Cruise Plastic Surgery offers the following tips for husbands whose wives are looking at having plastic surgery.
• It is important to support her even if you don’t fully understand her reasoning why.
