Women in the Workplace Turn to Surgery to Battle Disadvantages

Women in the workplace are disadvantaged  for age and having to care for family. Some of these women are turning to plastic surgery to address a lack of confidence that may extend to the workplace.

Women also are five to eight times more likely to have their careers affected by having to do familiar care work than men. Almost a third of women surveyed said they had some childcare or familial care that required them to be home. Over 1/10 of women said that the cost of this caregiving has prevented them from seeking employment. Childcare is expensive, and alternatives like nannies or childcare centers can be very expensive. Career breaks are reported to have damaged the careers of nearly half of the women who take them. 42% of women say they earn less now than they did before, and 37% feel less confident about their career in a long-term sense.

Women are returning to work by finding tools in mentorship, hybrid roles, and cosmetic surgery. Mentorship greatly increases confidence, and hybrid roles allow caregivers to be present in the home and the office. Many women are turning to plastic surgery to change their postpartum bodies rapidly. Procedures commonly sought by women in the 31-45 age range include liposuctions, breast augmentations, tummy tucks, breast lifts, and Brazilian butt lifts.
