Improved Physical
Functioning

Surgery can correct or alleviate physical impairments, enabling individuals to perform
daily activities more easily and independently. This improvement in functionality
can significantly enhance their quality of life.

Boost self-esteem
and Confidence

Successfully treating a disability can boost self-esteem and confidence.
Individuals may feel more comfortable and positive about their appearance and
abilities which can positively impact their social interactions and mental health.

Reach full Potential
without physical
limitation

Surgery can help individuals reach their full potential by removing physical
barriers that limit their participation in education, employment, and other
opportunities. This can lead to greater achievements and personal growth.

Gain Social Acceptance

Correcting a disability can help individuals fit in and be seen as equals by their peers.
This increased social acceptance can reduce feelings of isolation and improve
relationships with others.

Have a better sense
of self-worth

Addressing a treatable disability can reinforce a sense of self-worth.
Knowing that they have taken steps to improve their condition can foster a positive
self-image and a sense of empowerment.

Embrace new experiences
hobbies, and adventures

Without physical limitations, individuals can explore and engage with their
environment more freely. This increased mobility and independence can lead to new
experiences, hobbies, and adventures.

Reduced Prejudice
and Discrimination

Treating a visible or notable disability can help individuals avoid prejudice and
discrimination from others. While societal attitudes should change to be more
inclusive, individuals may experience fewer negative judgments and
stereotypes post-surgery.

Enhanced Mental Health

The psychological benefits of improved physical health and social acceptance can
lead to better mental health. Reduced stress, anxiety, and depression can result
from feeling more integrated and capable.

Have better job prospects
and earning potential

With increased physical ability, individuals may have better job prospects and earning
potential. This economic stability can lead to a more secure and fulfilling life.

Play sports and travel

Surgery can open up opportunities that were previously inaccessible such as certain sports,
travel, and social activities. This expanded access can enrich an individual's life experiences.
