JAKARTA - Plastic surgery is now part of the beauty trend in the world and more and more people are doing it. However, the reason most people do plastic surgery is not just to follow the existing trend.
The doctor of Plastic Surgery, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery of Pondok Indah - Pondok Indah, dr. Alexander Perkara-Hendropriyono, Sp. B.P.R.E., M.Ked.Klin, revealed data showing the overall motivation of patients to undergo plastic surgery.
The data includes patients in China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The use of it as an increase in confidence and personal investment is the main motivation for many patients to undergo plastic surgery.
"Self investment is 26.5 percent and self confidence is 33.9 percent. This means that Asians don't always want to be celebrities or follow the social environment and their friends. But, the majority want to be themselves," said dr. Alexander, during a media meeting in Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta, Monday, March 30, 2026.
Not only that, data also shows that many people want to do plastic surgery to support the values they believe in. Like wanting to show an outer appearance that is in harmony with inner beauty.
Therefore, it is very important for a patient to consult in depth with a doctor before having plastic surgery.
"Before deciding to undergo aesthetic surgery procedures, it is important for patients to consult a specialist in reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery," he explained.
Doctor Alexander himself applies the concept of facial harmony alias facial harmony when performing aesthetic surgery reconstruction on his patients. Thus, the reconstruction of the patient's face is adjusted to the needs to help increase their confidence, rather than resembling a certain person.
"Harmony of the face is important, because basically an attractive face is not determined by one part alone, but rather the balance or balance between various facial features," concluded Dr. Alexander.
