dc.description.notesReports on the results of investigations into past cosmetic surgery as part of the Women’s Health Australia Study. Found that women who had ever been in a violent intimate relationship were more likely to have had cosmetic surgery, as were women who had been verbally abused recently, amongst others. It is suggested that such women may undertake cosmetic surgery for several reasons: seeking appearance-enhancing surgery to avoid future intimate partner violence; seeking an external solution to bolster low self-esteem; seeking increased sense of trust in others for maintaining close relationships; and seeking reconstructive surgery following a traumatic injury inflicted by a partner.en
