You have to be Beautiful!

Since The Hospital Group was established in 1992, it has grown from a small pharmaceutical company to one of the UKs foremost cosmetic surgery providers.

Their Leeds clinic, which first opened its doors to the public back in the summer of 2008, was the first of its kind on the high street, combining exclusive beauty products and treatments alongside comprehensive cosmetic surgery and obesity surgery advice.

The clinic offers advice on a range of surgical procedures with GMC registered surgeons, from breast enlargement and nose reshaping to liposuction and gastric bands.

The Leeds centre also offers non surgical procedures, including peels, BOTOXTM and fillers for those wanting to turn back the clock, and hyperhidrosis for those suffering from excessive sweating.

The Hospital Groups Leeds branch has built on its success since it opened two years ago and also provides a specialist Nusmile Veneer centre, one of only three in the UK.

The clinic offers the latest dental technology and techniques, including Nusmile Veneers, professional teeth whitening and clear braces.

The clinic, on Albion Place in the centre of the city has already helped to transform the lives of thousands of patients. One of the most recent success stories is 18-year-old Holly Naughton, who finally overcame her crippling fear of dentists after having veneers fitted at the Leeds clinic this year.

Holly, an A level student said: I was going round in circles, I needed a lot of work doing to my teeth as they had really deteriorated. I wanted to go to the dentist, but I was just too scared. I stopped smiling and became really depressed about it. After a while I knew I had to take action and so started to look at private clinics. My dentist was extremely helpful and made me feel really relaxed. Im now over the moon with my new teeth, I feel like a different person. Im glad I didnt wait any longer to have it done as I just cant stop grinning.

David Ross, Chief Executive of The Hospital Group, said: The advancements in non surgical treatments has been astounding during the last five years. Many people long to change their looks, but are often apprehensive about taking the next steps.

The clinic is open to the public Monday to Saturday from 9am until 6pm, with late non surgical clinics available on Thursday until 7pm. As well as offering non surgical treatments, dental procedures and consultations, the clinic also sells skincare products and offers relaxing nail treatments, including gel and acrylic extensions.

Teenage years have long been linked with a heightened concern with appearance. Some reality TV shows take full advantage and tout happiness as just a nip/tuck away. A Rutgers-Camden psychologist has found that teens fond of these kinds of programs are more likely to join the millions who go under the knife each year. For bodies – and minds – still in development, these drastic decisions could have implications way after prom.

Charlotte Markey, an associate professor of psychology at Rutgers-Camden, with husband Patrick Markey of Villanova University, recently published research on this topic in the academic journal Body Image.

“When we think of cosmetic surgery, we don’t think of it as a lifetime issue. There is lots of pressure to look a certain way and I don’t blame them for succumbing; we’re all guilty of feeling vulnerable. But what young men and women think of their bodies now will culminate over time and contribute to their overall health,” notes the Rutgers-Camden psychologist. “What troubles me is that there’s no conclusive data that cosmetic surgery even makes people happier, what has been documented is that it makes repeat customers.”

The wife-and-husband team surveyed nearly 200 participants with an average age of 20 on their immediate responses to an ‘extreme makeover’ program or a show on home improvement – incorporated specifically to mask the intent of the study. Both men and women were included in the study and the procedures examined were ones either gender could pursue.

As the Rutgers-Camden researcher suspected, women were more likely to want cosmetic surgery than men and viewers of the cosmetic surgery show were more inclined to consider the procedure for themselves than those who didn’t tune in. What still shocks Markey are the handwritten responses to the cosmetic surgery show, including comments like “inspirational” and “I saw an unhappy girl get her dreams.”

This saddens Markey because outward appearance seems to be the sole avenue to self satisfaction and this road, she believes, is circular. “If plastic surgery makes you feel better about yourself, then why do you keep getting it done?” she asks. “This mindset is very similar to that of an anorexic wanting to lose just five more pounds.”

While ABC’s Extreme Makeover, which led to the Extreme Makeover-Home Edition, was cancelled in 2007, it sparked the development of several other similarly themed shows like Fox’s The Swan, the drama Nip/Tuck, MTV’s I Want a Famous Face, E’s Dr. 90210 and Oxygen’s recent Addicted to Beauty. The impact of reality television as a new media influence – regardless of topic – also raises many questions about what is being portrayed to viewers as real and indicative of everyday life.

“There is a cultural context to never be satisfied with our physical selves. It’s the rare person who is either completely oblivious or has developed such a strong counter message to not be affected, “notes Markey, the mother of a four-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl. “We need to teach children to be critical of the messages we’re receiving and tell them positive things now to foster self-esteem.”

Markey brings these cultural dialogues into her own home by explaining to her young children why Barbie is banned. “I tell them ‘no one you will ever meet in real life will ever look like her’” she says. “There are so many messages out there telling us that we need to fix ourselves, but at an early age we need to tell our kids: ‘I love you just the way you are.’”

She teaches the courses Psychology of Eating; Health Psychology; Psychology of Health and Happiness; Psychology of Adolescence; and Research Methods at Rutgers-Camden.
