| Summary: | The present study identified and described the self-perception of selected working women in three dimensions namely, physical, psychological, and social. The researchers also identified the different reasons why the women underwent cosmetic surgery. In order to come up with the self-perception of women, the researchers conducted an in-depth interview using an unstructured questionnaire with eight working women whose ages ranged from 20-60. The Index of Self-esteem by Hudson (1992) was administered to determine their self-esteem. The interviews showed that the working women who were part of this study feel that they are more beautiful and attractive after undergoing cosmetic surgery. Their self-esteem and confidence also increased. It was also found out that the social relationships of these working women did not change significantly. |
