Womens-Interets

Okay how can I work a little magic on my body, just in time for the Holidays? How many woman are out there thinking the same thing right now?

The closer to the Holiday, the more thoughts about food, how much or how little can you eat and still fit into that outfit are working your nerves. We see all the new Holiday outfits..all shiny and new and we see all the clothes we still have yet to wear in our closets, from Holidays past.


But I also must confess that before the Holidays, I have been thinking about this. The Holiday, coupled with being close to 50 with a couple of muffin tops and probably some bread cooking in other areas, let's just say it has been on my mind.

I also want to mention that I am not trying to look like the many images we see on TV, especially when most of them are a size 0-4, because I have not idea what a size 0-4 even looks like. Is that not the numbers to toddler clothes? Girl, I am working hard enough just trying to look like some resemblance of what I used to look like, let's say 10 years ago.

I don't want Janet Jackson boobs, or Beyonce's Beyoncee (not that they are not nice, okay if someone offered to pay for the boob job..maybe). I just want my stuff, a little less stuffed into every outfit I wear. I want it to stand a little taller and things to be a little smoother. I don't want a body of a sixteen year old or even a 25 year old, okay maybe 35, but seriously, I just want to be a hot 50, a cougar if you will, okay a married cougar, but a cougar none the less.

I want to turn all the body chaos, into body magic. I realized what I really want was an opportunity to see a more slimmer and sexier me, what about you? Now many may be thinking, oh she has no self-esteem,. or maybe she doesn't like herself, NOT...I love and like myself very much thank you, I liked myself when I was smaller, bigger and a little bigger. I would just like to like myself a little smaller again, with a little more things in the places than they used to be in.

So with all that said, it really is about body magic or just about a better frame of mind about what you already have. We know this topic will continue for generations, but in the meantime, we all want a little body magic, no matter how big or small we already are, even if it is for just a small while

Cosmetic-Surgery

In almost any geographic area with a significantly sized metropolitan city, there are dozens and maybe hundreds of plastic surgeons. But which one is right for your surgery? Like any specialized form of health care, you want someone who is both well qualified and has a fair amount of experience in body contouring surgery.


Sometimes it is easy...you know someone who has had the plastic surgery that you want and has had a good experience...so you go to their plastic surgeon for an initial evaluation. Word of mouth is almost always a good referral method. More often, however, you are not as fortunate and you have to start a search on your own. Here is how to do it.

First, only go to a board-certified plastic surgeon. This may sound territorial to some, but when it comes to major body contouring surgery it is not. For something like Botox or laser treatments or other minor cosmetic procedures, a host of so-called 'cosmetic surgeons' may suffice and the outcomes may be only marginally different. But body contouring surgery is not trivial and requires a lot of training and experience from doing reconstructive procedures of the body. There is a huge difference between managing not enough Botox and dealing with a postoperative wound separation of a thigh lift. Only someone trained in the full scope of plastic and reconstructive surgery has the knowledge to deal with major surgery....and their potential complications. Search for plastic surgeons in your area online at www.plasticsurgery.org, the official site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Plastic surgeons listed there have to have the right training and board-certification to be a member.

Once you have found a handful of potential plastic surgeons to see, visit their websites and view what they have to say and show about bariatric plastic surgery procedures. Although not having any info or results to show does not mean they don't have adequate experience, those plastic surgeons that do certainly have an interest in performing these types of plastic surgery. Cross check their names at the website of the American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgery, www.asbps.com, an interest group of plastic surgeons who have or are sharing expertise in body contouring surgery. Today there are also a handful of young plastic surgeons that have received special training by completing a fellowship in bariatric plastic surgery beyond their basic plastic surgery residency.

Do as many consultations with different plastic surgeons as you feel necessary. Yes it will cost to have consultations but this is peanuts compared to the actual cost of surgery and the risks to which you will be exposed. The right plastic surgeon is often the one that makes you feel the most comfortable and takes the time and energy to spend time with you. Many patients are told to ask their prospective surgeon what their experience is and how many they do per month, year, etc. While there is nothing wrong with these questions, I don't know how helpful these answers often are. How many operations do you have to do to be good at it? For some plastic surgeons it may be just a few every now and then, for others it many take many more. A more pertinent question is ask to see photos of results or talk to patients of the plastic surgeon who have had the procedure in the past several months. This is a more tangible question that can be very informative. Lack of photos or an unwillingness to share them or put you into contact with former patients is more revealing than a numbers question.
