OYL Mental Health Support and Resources for Cosmetic Surgery Patients

Choosing cosmetic surgery is a deeply personal decision and it’s essential to respect each person’s right to make informed decisions about their body. At the same time, it’s vital to acknowledge the significant influence mental health can have on these choices. Mental health conditions often create a distorted view of appearance, impacting a sense of self-worth. 

While we don’t directly provide mental health support, our goal is to promote mental health organisations that can offer compassionate support. Promoting open discussions is vital for improving mental health outcomes and ensuring people access appropriate care before and after cosmetic surgery. 

By encouraging conversations about cosmetic surgery and mental health, we can enhance awareness, reduce stigma, and help people find the support they need to make informed and healthy decisions about their bodies and well-being.

Eating Disorders encompass a range of serious mental health conditions characterised by unhealthy eating habits and distorted body image. The most common types include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. These disorders can lead to severe malnutrition, organ damage, heart problems, and a significant proportion of deaths are attributed to complications from the disorders themselves or related health issues.
