Will Plastic Surgery Save My Marriage?

The short answer is “no.” If your marriage is in trouble, then the changes that need to be made are inside both spouses, and modification of the outside of one of the spouses won’t do anything long term that’s needed to save a marriage. The only time when plastic surgery can “save” a marriage is when one partner has a serious self-esteem issue related to a part of the face or body and decides for himself or herself that having plastic surgery would allow them to move on to confront deeper issues.

It is possible that a cosmetic improvement in one spouse may result in a “honeymoon period” when the relationship feels happier after one spouse has his or her appearance improved. But putting the responsibility of saving a marriage onto a nose job or liposuction will pretty much always result in disappointment for both spouses eventually.

Think about it: do you really want to be married to someone whose happiness depends on your having Barbie doll figure? Because if it does, they’re probably a pretty shallow person. There is nothing wrong with wanting to look our best, but when it comes to plastic surgery, it should be a personal decision, not an answer to a spousal request or a gambit to save a crumbling marriage. If you are in the situation of having a spouse who wants you to change your appearance through plastic surgery, think about what could happen. Maybe you’d have liposuction, and your spouse liked the results, but then he suggests getting breast augmentation. After that he might suggest a nose job. Can you see how sick and wrong this is? It’s one thing to want your spouse to dress nice and keep relatively fit, but wanting a partner to undergo surgery to change their appearance is an issue of control and insecurity.

The way to reconcile a troubled marriage and plastic surgery is to deal with them separately. The marriage itself should be priority number one, and you may require couples’ counseling or individual counseling to resolve the issues that are troubling your marriage. If you’re able to do this to achieve a stronger marriage, then maybe you can think about having plastic surgery to alter your appearance. Plastic surgery should be a personal decision and should not be prompted by wanting to please another person – even if the changes do end up pleasing that other person.

There is no doubt that plastic surgery often improves a person’s self esteem, particularly if they have fretted about a less-than-perfect body part for a number of years. It can be empowering to look in the mirror and think to yourself, “Wow. I have an awesome nose.” But that sense of empowerment and self esteem won’t be there if you look in the mirror and think, “Now that I had augmentation surgery, all that Brad cares about is making me wear low cut tops, particularly if we’re going out on a weekend.” Doesn’t the rest of me matter?” Plastic surgery should only be undertaken after serious consideration, and a troubled marriage is not a good reason to choose plastic surgery.
