Plastic Surgery When Improvements Are Desired

It is not every person who will experience a sense of euphoria when told they have their mom’s ears or their dad’s nose, or worse to have it pointed out they share the family’s tendency toward fuller thighs. Those who inherit a strong family resemblance from their ancestors are not always prone to being celebratory over that fact. plastic surgery can correct what nature may have failed to get quite right in the opinion of the patient.Ears that protrude a bit too much can benefit from ear reshaping, while a bump in the bridge of the nose can be corrected through rhinoplasty. And those thighs, knees or hips that appear too similar to grandma’s can be improved upon with the aid of liposuction.Plastic surgery is very popular with women who desire improvement to their breasts: larger, smaller, fuller, lifted or more equally proportioned are all options that can be addressed with the skill of a surgeon. Breast augmentation is one of the most often requested procedures from a cosmetic surgeon, by both women and men.Aside from nature failing to provide the appearance a person longs to see reflected back at them when they gaze into a mirror, the passage of time can also prove to be a challenge, as can excessive exposure to the sun, a poor diet, smoking, drug use and alcohol consumption. All of these can be contributing factors to a less than the best possible appearance.

This doctor should be Board certified with the Council of Plastic Surgeons and should have an impressive list of clients they have worked on, with photos of pre- and post- op procedures. An initial consultation should be scheduled so the patient can explain what results they are hoping to achieve and the surgeon can advise as to whether their expectations are realistic, attainable and appropriate for the person’s body proportions and size. The doctor will explain that the patient must abstain from smoking and drug use, as well as alcohol consumption as a part of the pre-surgery prep, and they will go over the post op restrictions in order to prepare the patient for a healthy recovery and to achieve the best possible results.
