BACKGROUND: This research was initiated by the authors' conviction that many people currently pay great attention to their personal appearance, which is directly linked to their self-confidence. The external image of individuals appears to have a decisive influence on their behavior and personal choices regarding both their personal and professional lives. Accordingly, it can be assumed that appearance influences professional choices and development. Moreover, individuals associate increased self-confidence with positive social images. Therefore, the main variables used in this study were self-image, self-confidence, and work environment. METHODS: For the purpose of this study, the authors developed a questionnaire and distributed it to a sample of 100 women who had undergone aesthetic plastic surgery. The aim of the questionnaire was to discover the opinion of these women concerning the aforementioned assumptions. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: After the data processing and analysis, the authors concluded that the aforementioned variables are statistically significant and correlated.
