Plastic Surgery: Looking Refreshed

It is absolutely a natural desire for a person to long to look their very best and strive to achieve their version of the perfect image. But nature does not always cooperate or provide the features or attributes that fit that image of what an individual believes to be the best appearance possible for them. The number of people who choose to seek out the skill of a plastic surgery specialist is on the rise are eager to correct any feature they believe nature failed to get right.

Plastic surgery has long been viewed as a female-targeted field of medicine that provides a way for patients to realize the desired enhancements they seek through various procedures. But in recent years, the field has seen an influx in the number of male patients seeking a nip, a tuck, or assistance with their pursuit of the youthful look they once sported in order to remain competitive in the workforce.

The most sought-after procedures for the male client are liposuction/body sculpting around the waist and abs, rhinoplasty, gynecomestia (male breast reduction), and eyelid surgery (the removal of excess skin) to create a more "refreshed" appearance. As men get older, exercise is not always enough to melt away the love handles that settle around the waist, so liposuction and body sculpting are becoming a popular option for men willing to go the surgical alteration route.

Women remain the primary client for plastic surgery, eager to improve upon their current attributes through the skill of a plastic surgeon. Some of the procedures female clients choose to have done are:

-Chin / cheek implants
-Ear reshaping
-Eyelid surgery (removal of excess skin)
-Face and neck lifts
-Lip enhancement
-Rhinoplasty
-Scar revision
-Liposuction

A surgeon who is entrusted to perform any of these procedures should be board certified through The Council of Plastic Surgeons, be highly skilled, have years of experience, and possibly be a council member of LEAD (Leadership, Experience and Development in Breast Augmentation). They should have a portfolio of patients who are willing and eager to display their post-surgery results as a testimonial to the skill of this surgeon. Certificates of the Medical School/University they attended should be proudly on display and their credentials freely shared with any patient considering use of their services.

Cosmetic surgery can assist in building self-esteem, confidence, and self-respect. Many people suffer through their teen years with acne scars, a nose that feels awkward to them, with breasts that are too large, too small, or misshapen, or numerous other issues that make their life seem difficult to navigate on a daily basis. A plastic surgeon can offer relief to these people through their skill and knowledge of plastic surgery.
