I recently had the pleasure of meeting with @polly I recently had the pleasure of meeting with @pollyvernon as part of the process of preparing for surgery designed to change appearance - in her case an upper blepharoplasty (eyelift) with the wonderfully talented @dr_elizabethhawkes. I’m delighted that Polly is so pleased with the result and am also grateful to her for highlighting the importance of involving psychology in the process. I firmly believe that all individuals considering appearance-changing procedures should have the opportunity to consider their hopes and expectations from a psychological as well as a physical perspective and to be supported before and after the procedure as needed. The best surgeons are those that take your psychological wellbeing into account!  #clinicalpsychology #psychologyofaesthetics #appearancepsychology #blepharoplasty #appearance #plasticsurgery #aesthetics #wellbeing #expectations #therapy #psychologicalwellbeing #thinkoverbeforeyoumakeover #responsiblesurgery #confidence #psychologist #psychologistofinstagram #thetimesonsunday #substack
