It's frequently the opposite. Women who get plastic surgery see whatever it is they have altered as a 'flaw', and believe others see it as a flaw as well and because it's a flaw that others focus on it as much as they themselves do. They feel that 'fixing' the 'flaw' stops people from focusing on it and allow them to focus on the 'whole package' rather than just 'the flaw'. In reality, it only stops the woman who had the surgery from focusing on it, which allows her to feel more comforatable about herself.
