In Beauty Pays: Why Attractive People are More Successful, Hamermesh reveals results of several years of research into the beauty factor of career success. Research concluded that attractive people earn an average of three percent to four percent more than a person with below-average looks. While that may seem like a miniscule difference at first glance, consider that it racks up to some $230,000 extra over a lifetime - just for having a pretty face. Even an average-looking employee can make upwards of $140,000 more over a lifetime than someone considered unattractive.
Study after study shows that attractive people have a competitive edge right from the start. They tend to get called for more interviews, make better impressions on interviewers and get hired faster. As employees, they tend to land more contracts, sell more products and get more raises. They also marry better, get approved for loans more frequently and negotiate loans with better terms. And they're held in higher regard overall than their just-as-intelligent but less-attractive counterparts.
For those with looks considered less attractive, or who are unhappy with a particular facial feature, have multiple options to help them boost their competitiveness. The right clothing, hairstyle and cosmetics can make a world of difference. And plastic surgery offers many choices for improving one's looks, either via more intense surgical procedures like facelifts and rhinoplasty (nose jobs) or less invasive procedures like Botox.
"Many of our clients undergo plastic surgery to help make them more competitive in the workplace, especially now that economic times are tough and well-paying jobs are scarce," says Dr. Phillip Garcia, founder of Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery near Jacksonville.
Dr. Garcia counsels patients to make sure they have reasonable expectations about the extent to which plastic surgery will improve their lives. After all, looks are only one part of a complex competitive package. Intelligence, skill and confidence also are important success factors. But plastic surgery and less invasive cosmetic procedures are proven to help boost self confidence, reduce shyness and improve the overall outlook of many patients. Those factors typically lead to more productive, more profitable and happier lives.
