Have you contemplated the idea of getting plastic surgery but just can’t seem to pull the trigger? Perhaps there is an area of your body that you would like to look slightly different but are not sure whether the benefits of surgery would outweigh the risks and recovery time. Or, maybe you are concerned about the costs and making sure that you have the right team working with you.
There are countless reasons why women decide to undergo plastic surgery…many want to look younger, change a feature that has always bothered them, or gain self confidence. Many point to our society’s focus on appearance and the rise of certain social media sites like Facebook and Instagram (and the invention of the selfie) to be a driver for women looking to have facial plastic surgery. It is very important that you enter into the process with a healthy attitude, healthy expectations and a support system to be there for you during your recovery. This will help you get the most out of your procedure, feel good about your decision and the outcome.
There are so many factors that must be considered before you decide to undergo plastic surgery and many decisions and choices along the way. One issue that touches all aspects of the process is the importance of ensuring your safety during and after the plastic surgery procedure. As you decide which procedure is right for you, pay special attention to the following things, which can help ensure that your procedure and recovery are safe.
Do you consider your buttocks your “problem area”? Perhaps not because it is too big, but because it is too small or not the shape you want? Have you tried various exercise strategies and just cannot seem to achieve the look you want in the buttocks region? Often women actually want to augment the butt area instead of reducing it and we all know that it is impossible to put weight on in the one specific area where you want it. So, if you are hoping to enhance the look of the buttocks area by creating a curvy, sensual visual profile, then butt sculpting surgery may be something to consider.
As you age, you may notice more pronounced puffiness, mild swelling or dark circles underneath your eyes. This is commonly referred to as “under eye bags” and there are many causes including lack of sleep, allergies, fluid retention (from eating too much salt or changes in weather), or your genes (heredity). As you get older, the tissue under your eyes that supports the skin often weakens and the skin under your eyes can very easily start to sag and look puffy.
Are you tired of looking in the mirror and seeing that pesky horizontal line that goes straight across your forehead? Or maybe you would like to decrease the lines that have developed between your eyebrows or lift up your sagging brows that are hanging over your eyelids. There are many reasons to consider a brow lift.
Botox has quite a storied history and it’s roots date all the way back to the early 1820s when the German scientist Dr. Justinus Kerner became interested in studying the origin of a food poisoning case that claimed the lives of several dozen Germans. These individuals had all eaten a batch of spoiled sausage and Dr. Kerner studied the toxin that he found in the bad meat. If you can believe it, he even injected himself with it and his work helped to understand the food-borne toxin and ultimately had a hand in opening the door for it’s most popular use.
The abdominal area is one of the most difficult places to achieve weight loss and one of the most visible “trouble spots” for so many individuals. Whether you have gained a little weight in the middle as you have aged or have been unable to shed the weight you gained during your last pregnancy, a lipoabdominoplasty may be a procedure that can get rid of this pesky extra weight that so easily accumulates in the mid-section. Lipoabdominoplasty surgery combines a tummy tuck with liposuction in order to achieve the most aesthetically pleasing shape for your body’s torso area.
