Reasons for Wanting to Lose Weight

• To most of them, the turning point to having the surgery is marked by some vital life experience such as having a baby or losing some weight that did not reduce with physical activities, leaving the skin or excess fat hanging. 
• Some just need to feel more confident, want to change their figure, or achieve their personal goals of beauty based on social media and celebrities.
• Self-esteem nowadays is a huge factor in body image. Living in a place where we often compare ourselves (on Insta, at the workplace, or with friends), many women are under pressure to fit into some beauty ideals.

On the positive:
Surgery will provide patients with substantial and immediate improvement in appearance that diet or exercise can accomplish over many years.
Positively, these processes have the ability to improve comfort in clothes, confidence, and make women feel more in control of their appearance. According to some, it helps them in their mental health, and some even get inspired to live a healthier life.
On the Negative:
Surgery is risky to health, infection, and even during recovery. On an emotional level, one is not always content with the procedure after it is done, and with unreasonable expectations placed on it. Other women also get addicted to the cosmetic changes, which they constantly run after the look that can be considered a perfect one.
Financial cost is also to be felt since good surgeries are expensive and low-cost ones can be unsafe. Kenya has experienced some instances that an unlicensed clinic resulted into a tragic ending.
So, should someone do it?
It all comes down to the reason behind you doing it. Provided the choice was made out of self-love and personal strength rather than peer pressure or feelings of inadequacy, it could be the proper decision. Nevertheless, it is important to do your homework, seek the advice of qualified practitioners and weigh the risks and the benefits.
Eventually, your surgery must never determine your value. Be it your choice or not, the most powerful change of all is loving the body you have now.
