Aesthetic surgery shows significant improvements in psychological and emotional well-being, highlighting its functional benefits.
Aesthetic facial surgery is a commonly sought treatment to manage cosmetic, physical, psychological, and emotional maladies.

This invited article aims to expand upon the abundance of evidence to support the contention that aesthetic surgery to the face, eyes, and nose addresses not only appearance-related improvements, but also has a significant impact upon psychological, mental, and emotional well-being.
