Looks threshold theory meets happiness and well being theory.
(Looking good enough is enough)
Need to apply this to my feelings about surgical results. Never feel fully satisfied
Satisficers are individuals who are pleased to settle for a good enough option, not necessarily the very best outcome in all respects. A satisficer is less likely to experience regret, even if a better option presents itself after a decision has already been made. Compared to satisficers, maximizers are more likely to experience lower levels of happiness, regret, and self-esteem. They also tend to be perfectionists.

Satisficing vs. Maximizing
When we face too many attractive choices, we can feel anxious about missing out.
