One of the main risks of plastic surgery is the possibility that the result may not please the patient. The frustration of not having expectations met can affect an individual’s self-esteem and trigger psychological problems such as depression.
Influencer Izadora Carvalho, 24, underwent four aesthetic procedures, including rhinomodeling, lip fillers, liposculpture and rhinoplasty. Although the goal was to feel better about herself, the surgeries made her doubt her own identity. “I didn’t recognize myself anymore”, highlights the model, in an interview with Metrópoles.
“Every time I had a procedure, I felt better. It was like a cover-up, but then I always found something else that could be improved. I realized that I would never be satisfied with myself”, says Izadora.
The influencer’s first aesthetic intervention took place at the age of 18. She underwent rhinomodeling to correct a bony protrusion (hump) on her nose. Izadora was pleased with the result, but noticed that, over time, the hyaluronic acid used in the operation began to spread and deform her nose.
“The first application was great. Over time, however, the consequences come — but those who apply it don’t warn us beforehand. My nose became droopy and rounded, which really affected me. That’s not what I wanted,” says the influencer.
According to plastic surgeon Henrique Lopes Arantes, from the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), the rounded and drooping effect can occur if low-density hyaluronic acid is used, which tends to migrate to the tip of the nose and cause excess drooping. volume and weight.
“A negative result can occur with the use of an excessive volume of substance or the use of an inappropriate product. There is also the chance of chronic inflammation, which can progress to necrosis of the nose, due to the application of harmless materials, such as liquid silicone”, explains the surgeon.

Izadora’s dissatisfaction with her own appearance manifested with depressive symptoms. “I didn’t have the strength to fulfill my schedules. I even stopped going to the gym,” she says.
Faced with depression and dissatisfaction with the result, the influencer seeks to reverse some of the procedures. She says she resorted to rhinoplasty to remove the acid that caused her nose to round.
“When the result of rhinomodeling is not satisfactory, one of the indications is to have rhinoplasty. Often, for the nose to meet the patient’s expectations, it is necessary to reduce the nasal structures, especially when the patient has a hump”, explains Arantes.
The surgeon also adds that, of the procedures performed by Izadora, only lip fillers can be reversed. “In surgeries such as liposuction and rhinoplasty, we can attempt a correction, but there is no way to reverse what has already been done”, says the surgeon.
Currently, Izadora claims to be a more mature person and continues in therapy so that depression does not prevent her from carrying out her tasks. “At the moment, I am not thinking about having another cosmetic surgery. I’m satisfied with myself,” she points out.
Image disorder
According to neuropsychologist Nathalie Gudayol, aesthetic procedures can also trigger self-image disorders. “The condition can occur when the person has unrealistic expectations about the result, the surgery does not meet expectations or the incessant search for aesthetic improvement becomes an obsession”, she explains.
The disorder can lead to a disconnect between the real and perceived image, which can trigger psychological problems such as depression and anxiety.
Treatment may involve cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps the person rebuild a healthier, more realistic body image. Additionally, social support, including support from friends and family, is critical.
“In more serious cases, medication intervention may be necessary to treat the associated depression. It is important that people seek professional help to deal with these self-image and mental health problems”, says the neuropsychologist.
