Vengeance Plastic Surgery Common Reason For Plastic Surgery

By , About.com Guide   July 29, 2010

Follow me on:

There is a new term being used among those who want plastic surgery, "Vengeance Plastic Surgery".

Vengeance plastic surgery, or revenge surgery, is one of the most common reasons that people seek out a facelift, or a breast lift, or any number of plastic surgery procedures.

The most common scenario, according to one surgeon, is that the a husband cheats on a wife with a much younger woman or is abusive, undermining her self esteem (or both), they divorce and the wife seeks out surgical rejuvenation.   For many, looking good is the best revenge, especially when they are forced to see their ex at functions for their children and more.

The term vengeance plastic surgery started in Hollywood, California, where divorcing and remarrying a "trophy wife" is commonplace.
