Face Lift Mexico – How I Selected My Plastic Surgeon «

Submitted by Sue Teague, Retired RN,  CosMed Patient & Guest Blogger

PART 1 in a series of blog posts by an actual patient who had plastic surgery in Mexico.

Some girls dream of marrying rich or becoming a movie star.  Not me—I had no career or marriage ambitions.  I’m no Barbie but, I knew from about the age of 35, that I would one day have a face lift.

Almost 30 years later, here I am recuperating from a full facelift performed by Dr. Quiroz at CosMed and blogging about it!

Come with me on this blog as I share some experiences on the way to my facelift surgery and beyond!

Though my resolve to have a facelift was made almost 30 years ago, the triggering events preceding my surgery are significant.  one does not surrender their most unique physical identity—one’s face—to the medical system without serious examination.

Fortunately, I was a fairly youthful-looking woman into my 50’s even with significant sun damage to my skin.  as I began to see evidence that my face was structurally changing, I told myself that other people my age were much worse off and it was not yet time for a facelift.

Life changed drastically when the doctor informed my husband and me in 2007 that he had a terminal cancer with a remaining lifespan of “around two years” with aggressive management.  Thus, began the disintegration of my life…and my face.  for, during the next two years, all my physical and emotional resources as wife, friend, nurse, patient advocate would be subjected to unimaginable demands.

What the doctors did not warn me about was the toll that these years would take on my mind, body and spirit.   During that heartbreaking period, I gained about 20 lbs. and my face fell– along with my hope for the future.

My husband died in 2009—days after my 62nd birthday– and I concentrated on reconstructing my life as a single, elderly woman.  by that time, I was in Women’s clothes sizes and barely glanced at myself in a mirror.

I restarted my previous lifestyle, begun with my late husband, as an RV’er and traveled across the country with my little dog.  I happily embraced the challenges of travel alone as I visited friends and family across the country.  I did not linger too long at the mirror and avoided being “up front and close” in photos.

Then one day, I saw a photo of myself that stopped me in my tire tracks.  My head was lowered and I had a second rogue chin under my real chin!  and, although my face was in a “neutral” expression,  I looked angry!  

I began to really look at my face, as I had not done in many years.  I googled “aging face” and learned the inescapable truth about deteriorating facial muscle structures and how that muscle laxity was unpredictable but inevitable.  I also learned my two- year caregiving experience had negative consequences, causing elevated hormone production, prolonged inflammation and adverse impact on the immune system.  I came to better understand why I was looking at a face that looked as if it had aged a decade in just two years!  I think of this as the end of the Phase 1 of my facelift—the breakthrough of denial of the damage that age and circumstances had dealt to my face and acceptance that now was the time for my facelift!

How I found my Plastic Surgeon — Product/Service, Science, Experience

Phase 2 began with my computer as my helper.  I keystroked through the cosmetic marketing hype and bookmarked information, weeding out the derivative, broker-mediated websites.  I looked for inconsistencies, errors and carelessness on the websites and eliminated these out of hand.   I found the Top 5 primary cosmetic clinics and targeted them for intense scrutiny.

I learned all I could about the different kinds of facelifts–and there are many!  I learned that the “deep plane” facelift was the gold standard and expected to last 10-15 years.  I then began to research the surgeons and costs in my area and in Mexico.

I submitted a set of photos for a virtual consultation to my Top 5 clinics in Tijuana for opinions and pricing.  I visited one cosmetic surgeon in my local area.

Research became my new full-time retirement job.  I continued to search the doctors in Mexico who were doing facelift surgeries.  I read everything I could find in TV and magazine media about surgery in Mexico.   I googled medical journal sites to see who was doing research and writing about it.   I visited forums devoted to cosmetic surgery.

I finally chose CosMed and Dr. Quiroz after about a month of the Phase 2 “fact-gathering” process.  one cannot research and read forever and, at some point, must take the information at hand and decide to act—or not.  the selection started in the fact-finding, objective mode, but in the end, it is subjective based on a myriad of impressions.  there are many objective reasons I chose Dr. Quiroz and CosMed, but ultimately, it was a “feel” that sealed the deal!

After selection, the mechanics of making arrangements was simple.  it one of the goals of CosMed to create an experience for their clientele that minimizes apprehension and inconvenience.  Joyce is a reassuring and down-to-earth facilitator and made it all Easy Peasy!

The first step is to make your deposit and schedule your surgery date.  if you are near a Wells Fargo Bank (and who isn’t?), it is simple to make a direct deposit and Joyce emailed all detailed instructions.

The second step is to get your “medicals” done.  Knowing that I would need a full blood test (because of my medical training), I delayed my usual annual blood work so most of the specific, surgery-related cost would be absorbed by medical insurance coverage and minimize my out-of-pocket cost.

The surgeon required a Complete Blood Panel (CBC), a Complete Metabolic Panel (CMC), an EKG, a blood-clotting test (PTT) and HIV screening.  (Additionally, if you are of childbearing age, you will need pregnancy clearance tests.)  My primary care physician cooperated when I showed him Dr. Quiroz’s written request for these tests.  I got copies of all test results, scanned them into my computer, and emailed them to CosMed.

Last, I completed my travel itinerary and emailed that to CosMed.  with each step, I received a telephone confirmation that my correspondence had been received.

On Saturday, the day prior to my departure, I got a phone call from the transportation agent who would be picking me up at the airport.  On Sunday, the day before my scheduled surgery, I arrived at San Diego Airport and, with a phone call describing my exact location, watched the ground transportation agent drive up about 15 minutes later.  Our SUV zipped over the border without slowing down during the 20-minute trip.  all the vehicle’s occupants chattered excitedly about their upcoming procedures!

I was delivered to the entrance of the new CosMed clinic and entered an impressive lobby reception area where I was asked to sign in.  Though I was unable to read or understand a word of the sign in process, it was quickly accomplished and I was taken upstairs to a security-coded entry door into the Recovery Boutique.  there, I was checked in by the reception staff and taken to a tastefully-designed private room.  I noted with surprise that the hospital bed had a bed skirt on it—something I have never seen or even knew existed!  however, this underscored the attention to detail by the designer and effort to reduce the appearance of a clinical setting and minimize the cues that create apprehension.

Almost as soon as I sat down on my bed with a sigh of relief, the staff asked if I wanted something to eat and brought me a tray with some delicious food, which appeared to be “home-cooked.”  I later found out that all the food was prepared by caterer off-premises.the next morning, an attendant came to me and asked me to check-in upstairs in the surgical suite in 5 minutes.  Holy Excitement!  It’s totally real now and I’m on my way!

Emily Maynard plastic surgery before and after photos: veneers? , boob job, nose job Starcasm.net

Emily Maynard is famous for her Southern charm and her natural beauty, but a report in this week’s issue of Reality Weekly claims the 26-year-old all-American blonde star of The Bachelorette is “wracked with insecurities and secretly hooked on plastic surgery!”

An “insider close to the sweet Southern belle” opens up to the magazine about Emily’s experiences with artificial enhancements past, present, and future.

“Emily had a few surgeries before The Bachelorette,” the insider syas, “but now that she is in the spotlight, she visits her doctor regularly.” she goes on to say Emily is “really good at getting stuff done. People always refer to her as a ‘natural beauty,’ but the girl definitely has some tricks up her sleeves.”

The insider goes on to list a number of treatments Emily Maynard currently has done on a regular basis, including laser light facials “because it makes her skin look poreless on camera and the makeup glides on much more smoothly,” and Botox “to give her brows a slight arch.” she also reveals that Emily is “considering getting some lipo” and that she “panics when she has to be in a bikini on camera.”

(Speaking of Emily Maynard being in a bikini on camera, CLICK HERE to see a collection of something that turns out to be quite rare… Emily Maynard bikini photos!)

So what about past procedures? The insider says Emily went under the knife a couple times soon after the tragic death of her fiance, NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick, who died in a plane crash in 2004 – just days before Emily found out she was pregnant with her daughter, Ricki.

“she started to panic about being single for the rest of her life and her daughter never having a father,” says the insider. so, with money she received from Ricky Hendrick’s wealthy parents, Emily got a nose job and breast augmentation.

“she had a pretty subtle adjustment to her nose because she didn’t want it to look like she had a nose job,” the source tells Reality Weekly.

Here are a couple side-by-side photos of Emily Maynard before and after her alleged nose job – the photo on the left from her 2004 Key West High School yearbook when she was 18, and the one on the right is from her appearance on Extra in May of this year:

I don’t know. If Emily Maynard did have a nose job, it was a very “subtle adjustment” indeed!

Emily’s preoccupation with her looks began well before meeting Ricky Hendrick though. Emily suffered from Bell’s palsy, a neurological disorder that causes partial facial paralysis, while a child in Morgantown, West Virginia. “Emily was always picked on in elementary school, and the insecurity from that abuse has stayed with her all her life,” the insider says.

Emily would later blossom in high school, and the attention she received was “intoxicating.” “Naturally, her brain made the connection between being pretty and being treated better, so it became a preoccupation for her.”

And part of that preoccupation is the alleged boob job. According to the Reality Weekly insider, she had the breast augmentation done after her fiance Ricky Hendrick died and well before her appearance on Brad Womack’s season of The Bachelor. “She’s from the South, where it’s all about being blonde with big boobs,” says the insider, who is apparently unaware that every part of our great country is fascinated with blonde hair and big boobs. (The Real Housewives of Orange County seems like a great example.) “Emily wasn’t flat-chested to begin with by any means, but she wanted to look like a pin-up, so she went from a 34B to a 36D.

Here is another photo from Emily’s 2004 high school yearbook in which it appears that the insider was correct when she stated, “Emily wasn’t flat-chested to begin with by any means:”

I realize you can work a lot of cleavage magic with very little if you know what you’re doing (all hail Paris Hilton!), but I really don’t think I’m looking at a 34B in this photo. That being said, here are some screen capped Emily Maynard bikini photos from the current season of The Bachelorette (Emily Maynard bikini photos are surprisingly rare! How is that possible with a woman who was on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette?!?) in which it does appear that Emily might be a bit larger (she has had a child, so that may have been what caused the enhancements):

The Reality Weekly article isn’t the first time it has been reported Emily Maynard has had breast augmentation surgery. a source told Us Weekly that she had a boob job prior to her appearance on The Bachelor as well, and a commenter on an article at The Hollywood Reporter claiming to be Emily’s roommate wrote:

“Emily was my roommate freshmen year of high school – she is a sweet down to earth girl who deserves nothing but the best. she has gotten a breast augmentation but would never pose in Playboy – he daughter is her life and she would never do anything that would hurt that little girl. I hope she finds true love – no one deserves it more than Em.”

So it appears the jury is still out. Whether Emily Maynard has had a nose job and/or a boob job or not, the end result is a beautiful face and some large breasts. she reportedly also gets laser treatments and fillers, which are not plastic surgery, but still enhancements, and she appears to have possibly gotten veneers on her teeth. Perhaps that’s all we (and eligible bachelors everywhere) need to know.

In spite of this effort, there is one area that often reveals the quality of the tradition– previous patients.

Plastic Surgery– Talk with Past Patients

How Well Did You Screen Your Plastic Surgeon?

Picking a plastic surgeon doesn’t have to be a mind numbing experience. You may not feel as if is going to make much difference whether or not you actually screen through them. it is easy to assume that since they are board certified that you can go to practically any plastic surgeon and have a wonder experience. You couldn’t be more wrong. By not taking the time to thoroughly screen who you choose for your plastic surgeon, could leave you looking like one of Frankenstein’s creations.

Sure, you may have heard a ton of stories about how great someone else’s experience was, but have you taken the time to listen to any horror stories. People who have had bad experiences are not always going to put themselves on showcase to the world. in fact, there are more people that have had bad experiences that keep it to themselves than there are of those who complain.

Sometimes the damage is not where it is easily accessible to a stranger’s eyes. The damage may be hidden under clothing or makeup. who wants to constantly leave with feelings of regret all because they should have went to a different plastic surgeon instead of the one they ultimately chose? no one wants to live knowing that even they may have been the victim of malpractice, that it was ultimately their own fault for not being so through and cautious about who they hired to perform their plastic surgery. in this day and age, there are tons of charlatans that make money off of unsuspecting people. These shysters claim they are professionals and provide fake certifications that could easily be verified if one was to take the time and screen them; and use them to hustle people out of their money. they don’t care if you are injured or disfigured. You are just another mark for them. These individuals make it much harder for real licenses and hardworking plastic surgeons that work very hard to meet the needs of their patients. that is why it is ever so important for you to protect yourself from being scammed by screening any potential surgeons before you hire them.

Don’t be in such a rush that you don’t double check any one that is recommended to you out. Remember, just because one person has a great experience or is happy with their new features, doesn’t mean that you will be happy with the same circumstances. You want to get the best work done and in order to do that, you have to select the best professional. This means that you must not only screen them well, you also must be willing to pay more than the cheapest price. Think about it if you were to use the cheapest qualified surgeon, you may end up getting your surgery performed with the doctor using poor quality materials. Some materials may not even be suited for your body or approved by the FDA. Screen your medical professionals before you sign up for surgery.

Can new laser device cure cellulite? – In Your Face : The Orange County Register

See ABC TV video here

A new laser device cleared by the Food and Drug Administration earlier this year is being hailed by some doctors for its ability to rid women of cellulite, and it’s getting a lot of attention on TV news and daytime shows.

Cellulaze is described as banishing cellulite — those dimply pockets of skin that an estimated 90% of women acquire — by melting the bulging fat, cutting the fibrous bands that hold it in place and triggering collagen production.

RealSelf.com, a plastic surgery consumer website, places the average cost for Cellulaze, which is touted as requiring just one treatment, at $5,810.

How well does it work?

So far, some women who have tried it seem happy, though not all outcomes were positive. Many doctors are taking a wait-and-see approach.

Several women who had the procedure and were satisfied shared their experiences on RealSelf. A couple of examples:.

  • “I am 4 weeks post Cellulaze procedure and the results are amazing! I am still improving each day … This has been the best money I could have spent to improve a part of my body that has been an issue for a majority of my life.”
  • “Other than the injections for the Lidocaine, there was no pain for me. the post procedure soreness is expected, but it is not ‘painful.’ I swear it is like heavy post-exercise muscle soreness.”

The new York Times quoted a patient who underwent Cellulaze as part of research conducted before the device was approved. She described herself as “gleeful” over the outcome, saying 3 years later, her skin is ”as smooth as it was after the procedure.”

But there can be complications.

The Times piece  includes a woman who was part of another study where more laser energy was used. One of her legs retained a lot of fluid and had to be drained every 2 weeks for months. The story also said some indentations appearing on her leg looked like “holes had been carved out by a potato peeler.” she told the reporter, ”If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t get it done.”

The Times says the doctor who conducted the research ”now recommends that patients with severe cellulite and loose skin like her shouldn’t be treated with Cellulaze alone, if at all.”

Photos courtesy of RealSelf.com show results after 6 months, left, and after 1.5 years.

Dr. John Di Saia, a plastic surgeon in San Clemente and Orange, writes in his blog that Cellulaze received its FDA approval through the agency’s 510K pathway, used for devices that are similar to already approved technology. “that means the device is so similar to something else already on the market that it does not need more formal FDA approval,” he says. “in essence it is a short cut.

“People need to know when product literature proclaims FDA approval that it does not mean it works,” he says. “it generally means that it is at least as safe as other technology on the market.”

Dr. Eugene Elliott, cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon at Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center in Fountain Valley, said in an interview with the Register that he’s seen a variety of  treatments aimed at getting rid of cellulite over the years, but “unfortunately, there is no clinically-proven treatment that exists today that is worth spending your hard-earned money on.”

He said:

“As a practicing plastic surgeon I do have an open mind, and I would welcome a treatment that was both cost-effective and therapeutic. Cellulaze may be that long awaited therapy, but I would give it a good six to twelve months with evidence-based trials to assess whether it will be an effective modality. although the first plastic surgeon on the block that offers the ‘latest and greatest’ treatment for cellulite may fill his or her waiting room with eager patients, an absence of measurable clinical response could lead to many frowns and another laser gathering dust in a closet. Time will tell and evidence-based outcomes should determine longevity of any new technology.”

Hot Docs Roundup: 'Despite The Gods' Fascinates, 'Beauty Is Embarrassing' Is Heartwarming & 'About Face' A Fun Look At Fashion

"Despite the Gods" Aussie filmmaker Penny Vozniak's "Lost in La Mancha"-esque documentary “Despite the Gods," following director Jennifer Lynch and her experiences making her third film in India, is a low budget docu-delight. Lynch is the beating, empathic heart of the film, an endearing combination of raw emotional honesty and self-deprecating humor. after surviving a critical flogging at 19 for her first film "Boxing Helena," and enjoying the relative success of her second film "Surveillance," Lynch still had a lot to prove with her third film. however it is clear from day one this will not be the film she envisions it to be. the film in question is "Hisss," a Bollywood action tale of a snake that turns into a woman, and then back again. Though Vozniak's film is an interesting look behind the scenes at some the challenges of being an American director shooting in India (no call sheets or safety concerns here) it is the sympathetic portrait of Lynch's experiences and reactions as she struggles against the odds for 8 months (5 months over schedule) to get the film finished the way she sees it, that makes this documentary so absorbing. Lynch remains in good spirits, often in awe of India in all its chaos and mayhem, despite all the factors working against her. even though her fight against the odds comes to naught, with her film taken away from her to be disastrously re-cut by producers, “despite the Gods” is a fascinating look at filmmaking as well as a great portrait of Lynch herself.

"Beauty is Embarrassing" Though artist/art director/illustrator/puppeteer Wayne White’s name will be unfamiliar to most, after seeing the doc “Beauty is Embarrassing," he’ll be sure to have a whole new legion of fans. Director Neils Berkley manages to capture White’s charismatic combination of childlike spirit, misanthropic tendencies and bawdy humour, in a likable, if less than cohesive, package. "Beauty is Embarrassing” is comprised of interviews with friends (including Paul Reubens and Matt Groening) and family members as well with White himself, who also narrates, with Berkley mixing in clips of White’s TV work, old home movie footage and animated works from both White and his other half Mimi Pond, an artist in her own right. the doc spends a good chunk of time on what White was best known for, making puppets for the off-the-wall kids show “Pee Wee’s Playhouse," something he had no real prior experience in doing, but ended up being really, really good at, though it came to a bit of a sudden and disastrous end. his post-Pee Wee artistic slump working "for the man" and making music videos for Peter Gabriel and Smashing Pumpkins, is a period White seems less inclined in talking about, referring to the MTV Music Video Awards as the “worst night of my life," which is unfortunate because it sounds pretty interesting. It's his second-act success a decade later that the rest of the doc instead focuses on, as White found inspiration in painting quotable phrases on thrift store landscape paintings, which quickly became hot sellers in upscale L.A. galleries, something White, the perpetual subversive underdog, is not always at ease with. Though some of the mish-mash of footage will be hard to follow for some, Berkley has created an apt portrait of a unique personality and pop culture artist, and the result is both inspiring and heartwarming. [B+]

"About Face" Photographer-slash-director Timothy Greenfield-Sanders talks to supermodels from the 1950s through to the '80s in his then-and-now documentary “About Face." Greenfield-Sanders' choice to interview some 15-odd supermodels probably widens the pool a little too much, as a lot of the women retread the same thematic ground, repeating the same thoughts on not feeling pretty growing up, whether or not they would have plastic surgery now, and coming to terms with being an ageing beauty. Unfortunately this does a disservice to the other interesting issues touched upon in the film, such as the exploitation of young girls, the heroin-chic period in fashion, the normalized sexual harassment within the business and the misogynistic beauty standards of modern society, which are alluded to, but not fully explored. One issue that Greenfield-Sanders does dig deeper into in the film is racism in the fashion and modeling world over the years, with the director talking to various models of color including Beverly Johnson and China Machado, who all have different and insightful perspectives on the discrimination within the industry that they helped to break down over the years. Some interviewees shine more memorably than others including feisty Avedon muse Machado, the former face of Lancome Isabella Rossellini and the always candid, uber-glamorous Jerry Hall, whose Southern drawl I could just listen to for hours. Greenfield-Sanders mixes these interviews, all beautifully shot with a photographer's considered eye, with carefully curated archive material from runway shows and fashion shoots through the ages. overall, “About Face” is an elegant documentary about supermodels of the past, and though its hardly the complete history, its a fun film for fashion fans nonetheless.

Angelina Jolie and Plastic Surgery Gone Wrong

Wouldn’t you like to read a decent article about Sharon Stone and terrible cosmetic surgery? well so would we but honestly, its very difficult to get an unbiased opinion nowadays on the subject.

After doing extensive research regarding Brad Pitt’s cosmetic surgery experiences we have come to the conclusion that he has received multiple operations including, face lifts, nose jobs otherwise known as rhinoplasty and more! it has certainly changed his appearance over the years he has aged quite well but we wouldn’t say it could be considered naturally. Unfortunately movie stars are forced to undergo many operations to fit the role that the movie studios have on the table.

Angelina Jolie has had an amazing amount of awful plastic surgery, she has the whole racket when it comes to plastic surgery gone wrong. What exactly do we mean? well, if you have ever heard of the term “trout pout,” this completely applies to Angelina Jolie who’s lips look bigger than trout they could possibly qualify as Salmon!

We aren’t arguing or trying to convince anyone that all plastic surgery is bad, however we are certainly aware of horrible situations in regard to the top celebrities of America. Don’t forget these people have way more money than the general population so just wait an see what will happen to you if you go low budget!

Terrible cosmetic surgery isn’t a fad, its a way of life. The thing about cosmetic alterations is that people only talk about the bad jobs, the good jobs are out there and people don’t notice or talk about them. The people that had excellent nose jobs or face lifts are happy campers as everyone simply thinks they are naturally beautiful. Who said money can’t buy love, power, respect? They probably didn’t receive plastic surgery and have the power of mass media at their disposal.

Warning… Please remember that any medical advice should be not taken unless given by a qualified medical doctor. these remain the opinions of the management and are subject to personal scrutiny. Why be the victim of awful plastic surgery, get the facts!

Why You May Consider Labiaplasty or Labia Reduction Surgery

A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that is designed to adjust the size and shape of a woman’s labial area through paring back an area that is thought to be too fleshy. the vaginal and labial areas can often be places that are very problematic for women, and given the fact that the appearance of the labia themselves are usually beyond a woman’s control, this can add to the stress.

The appearance of a woman’s labia majora and labia minora can be affected by things like aging, genetics, or the experiences of sexual intercourse and childbirth. Women may very well become uncomfortable with the appearance of labia that are not symmetrical or that they perceive as being too long or wide. for some women it is a matter of comfort; labia that are too large can become easily oversensitive, inflamed and even infected through normal abrasion.

This type of plastic surgery is considered appropriate for women who have finished developing physically and who are in good health. some people who have certain medical conditions may not be good candidates for this surgery, but as always, it is important to speak to a certified plastic surgeon before any decisions are made. at this point in time, there are only a small number of plastic surgeons who will perform this surgery.

The procedure itself is usually fairly straightforward, and you will find that it will depend heavily on what the end effect is to be. the precise details will depend on whether you want the outer lips, known as the labia majora, or the inner lips, known as the labia minor, reduced, or whether both will be reduced. this procedure usually lasts around two hours, and due to the fact that it is performed under local anesthesia, it is considered outpatient surgery. while some doctors will use tolls that are similar to the scissors used for face lifts, others prefer using a scalpel.

After the surgery, the area surrounding the incisions might be a little bit bruised, and there will be some swelling that will go away in a matter of weeks. Painkillers are often prescribed to reduce the pain, while antibiotics are given to reduce the risk of infection. if you are given antibiotics, remember to eat plenty of yogurt to ensure a good balance of bacteria in your body. Similarly, you’ll be given a list of instructions that will show you what restrictions you have to remember to make sure that the procedure heals properly.

A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that has changed many lives. if it is a procedure that interests with you, speak with a board-certified plastic surgeon and find out what it can do for you.

Cosmetic Procedures Are More Common Than You Think

If you were to glance around at the people you work with, go to church with, or attend your kids’ games with, you might be surprised to find out how many of them have had some type of cosmetic procedure done. the work they had done could range from something simple like Botox injections to a full blown surgery. But whether you are aware of it or not, there are lots of people who are taking that step and visiting with their trusted dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons to get advice on the latest procedures that can improve their looks and allow them to appear younger.

Even a simple facial can make a difference in the way you look and feel if it is done properly, and many people go for facials on a regular basis. often, medical spas will offer not only traditional facials but also more advanced techniques like microdermabrasion and chemical peels.

There really is nothing to be ashamed of in getting cosmetic procedures done, but people do not tend to speak very openly about their experiences. This really is a shame, because if more people spoke up about the work they had procedures done and were open and forthcoming about how the experience made them feel about themselves, then others might not feel there was such a stigma associated with cosmetic enhancements.

People’s reticence to talk about cosmetic procedures can make it difficult to get recommendations for good doctors. Fortunately, today, if you are considering cosmetic work or surgery, you have great online resources to help you find the right provider and procedure. There are websites and blog galore devoted to discussing the various cosmetic procedures, and many people who have had them do not mind weighing in on their opinions and sharing their experiences online.

Due to the comparative anonymity available on many blogs and forums, many people will be brutally honest about their experiences with plastic surgery and other related procedures. This makes forums and blogs ideal places to find out all of the things you really want to know about a given procedure, like how much it might hurt and how long the recovery might take. This is the kind of insider information you will not get by calling around to medical offices. Do your research well before you have anything done and you will get a much better idea of what to expect.

Most of all, know that if you want to look better and are considering cosmetic surgery, you are certainly not alone. You have plenty of company in your neighborhood, in the workplace, and throughout your local community.
