While many people undergo plastic surgery procedures to correct a blemish or to help boost their self-esteem, it seems that some individuals may be going under the knife to get back at their ex-lovers, according to The Daily Mail.

“Under the bandages, I knew there was a new me waiting to emerge,” Lisa Hanson, a 40-year-old accountant who underwent a tummy tuck and liposuction following her divorce, told the news source. “The surgery was very much a reaction to my divorce - I wanted to re-invent myself and get revenge after the way my ex made me feel about myself.”

Not long after the first procedures, Hanson underwent a breast lift and enlargement, as well as used injectables such as Botox to help combat wrinkles.

The trend among women like Hanson has spawned a new term - “vengeance surgery.” According to the news source, divorcees are responsible for a large portion of the plastic surgery industry.

Hanson told the news organization that she has no regrets. After her divorce, her self-esteem suffered a significant blow, and she sees plastic surgery as a way to overcome that issue.

Those considering plastic surgery should discuss their options with a board-certified plastic surgeon, according to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. There are a variety of procedures available, and a medical professional can help one best decide what the best plan of action may be.
