Myths About Plastic Surgery That Aren’t True

Detroit, MI – You’re looking to improve your life through the wonders of plastic surgery.
But you’re torn.

What if something goes wrong? What if you can’t afford it? What if…What if…What if…

If you keep asking ‘what if’ questions, it’s probably because you’ve been taken in by all the pervasive myths that surround this amazing and life-changing industry.

Before you consider going under the knife to boost your appearance and your self-esteem, it’s time to get the facts straight.

Here are the most common myths that people actually believe about plastic surgery.
By learning the truth, you’ll be much better informed and well prepared to give yourself the body and/or face makeover you widely deserve.

Common Myths Debunked

Myth #1: Plastic Surgery is Risky and Dangerous

The Truth: You know what’s risky and dangerous? Getting plastic surgery in a third world country for pennies on the dollar.

You know what’s not? Having your procedures performed by a skilled and trained surgeon with a proven track record.

As long as you are in good health, and you are a good candidate for plastic surgery, your procedure will be safe and the risks minimal.

Of course, plastic surgery is still surgery, so infection and other complications can always occur, but as long as you engage in self-care and listen to your surgeon’s instructions post-surgery, you’ll most likely recover just fine.

Choose your surgeon carefully, listen to his or her instructions, and your plastic surgery procedure is very likely to go off without a hitch.

Myth #2: Plastic Surgery is Only for Rich People

The Truth: People from all walks of life are engaging in plastic surgery, and it’s becoming more common than ever.

From non-surgical techniques like Botox to remove lines and wrinkles to breast augmentations and tummy tucks, men and women of all ages and socioeconomic statuses are undergoing plastic surgery, and the trend only seems to be increasing.

If plastic surgeons only operated on the super wealthy, the industry wouldn’t be booming like it currently is.

Myth #3: Plastic Surgery is Only for Women

The Truth: More men are opting for plastic surgery than ever before.

In fact, Botox, dermal fillers, laser treatments and liposuction are becoming favorites of men everywhere to give them a leg up in the workplace. Plastic surgery helps men look younger and feel more virile, making them more competitive amongst their professional counterparts.

Guys who have excess breast tissue also choose to go under the knife for a procedure called gynecomastia surgery.

The bottom line is that men have body issues, too, and plastic surgery can help men everywhere overcome those issues, just like women have for years.

Myth #4: Plastic Surgery is Only for the Vain

The Truth: Just because you choose to get plastic surgery doesn’t mean that you’re full of yourself.

Far from it.

Going under the knife means that you’re into self-improvement.

When diet and exercise aren’t enough to get rid of belly fat, which can happen with age and multiple pregnancies, a tummy tuck and/or liposuction can help you get your pre-pregnancy body back.

Everyone ages, that much is true, but you don’t have to allow time to take its toll. If you feel young inside, you should look that way, too. Plastic surgery can help you do that.

But plastic surgery isn’t all about looks. Studies have shown that tummy tucks, for example, can have medical benefits too.

You then you have to consider all the plastic surgery procedures that are designed to help people overcome birth defects, such as cleft palates, or post-cancer breast reconstruction.
Plastic surgery isn’t only for the vain. It’s for individuals who want more out of life.

Conclusion

It’s sad to think that these myths, as common as they are, have kept people from undergoing surgery that could have positively changed their lives.

By choosing a highly-decorated plastic surgeon and by making the decision to better your life through plastic surgery, you might find yourself feeling like an entirely different person.

You might reach for goals you never considered. You might take on an entirely different attitude.

And you just may see a massive boost in your self-confidence and how you feel about yourself.

Don’t let these myths take hold, learn the truth, and you’ll feel much better about your decision to have plastic surgery, whatever procedures you may be considering.

The Truth About Labial Reduction Surgery (Labiaplasty)

Detroit, MI – Are you unhappy with the large size of your labia minora and the way it hangs a tad too low?

If so, you don’t have to live with the hand that nature has dealt you.

Labiaplasty, the plastic surgery procedure designed to reduce the size of your labia, can help you regain your confidence, particularly in the bedroom.

Anxious to learn more?

Here are the facts surrounding this simple procedure that is changing the lives of women everywhere.

Why Does the Labia Minora Become Enlarged?

The labia minor has the necessary function of protecting your vaginal opening when your legs are spread. When the labia minor is too large, however, complications can result.

In some cases, you may have been born with enlarged labia. Or maybe you developed the issue with age or following childbirth.

No matter how you managed to develop enlarged labia, you don’t have to endure the pesky problems that result.

Complications from Enlarged Labia

When your labia minora extends further than your labia majora, it can cause friction issues.
In some cases, you may experience personal hygiene problems.

Exercising and engaging in sports may become such an ordeal that you feel like giving up altogether.

To make matters worse, you may not be able to have sexual intercourse as easily. And then there are the comments that may have come from sexual partners that can completely destroy your self-esteem.

Whatever problems you may be experiencing, labiaplasty surgery can help.

How is the Surgery Performed?

Labiaplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia. However, your surgeon may choose to use local anesthesia with sedation, depending on how thorough a procedure is necessary.
Your surgeon will take great care to reduce the size of your labia while making it look as though you are born that way.

To the untrained eye, it won’t appear as though you had surgery at all. In other words, your smaller labia will look completely natural with barely noticeable scarring.

What to Expect Post-Surgery

When the surgery is complete, your surgeon will give you a dressing pad to wear that is similar to a maxi pad. You should wear this pad while remaining on bed rest for at least one week.

During this time, you should also engage in an “on and off” application of cold compresses, which will reduce swelling.

You may experience some bleeding and bruising in the surgical area, but these will disappear within a few days.

When Can You Get Back to Living Life?

With your renewed sense of confidence, you should be able to return to your regular routine after a week. However, don’t go running any marathons or hit the weight room just yet.

You should refrain from engaging in strenuous activity (that includes sexual intercourse) for at least six weeks.

After the six weeks recovery period is up, and as with any surgery, try easing back into your usual activity and sex routine so that you don’t set your recovery back just in case your body takes longer to bounce back post-surgery.

Your plastic surgeon will give you explicit instructions on how to care for your dressing at home and when to return to life’s activities. Listen to these instructions and follow them with careful attention and you should be back to your usual self in no time.

A Renewed Sense of Life

With your reduced and reshaped labia, you should find relief from all your previous issues. You should also feel more confident during sex, which can certainly enhance your sexual pleasure.

5 Ways Plastic Surgery Can Improve Your Life

Bloomfield Hills, MI – Considering cosmetic surgery, but still on the fence? If so, you’re probably wondering if the prep, procedure and recovery time are worth it.

If any of this sounds familiar, what you’re about to learn might surprise you.

As it turns out, not only can cosmetic surgery alter your appearance – such as the shape of your nose or size of your waist – going “under the knife” can also improve your quality of life.

“I had the [breast augmentation] surgery three weeks ago, and each day I am happier and happier with my results!” said a recent patient of Dr. M. Azhar Ali, one of Michigan’s top plastic surgeons and owner of AMAE Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Center.

She added, “I look natural, I get compliments from all my friends, and I feel more confident than ever!”

Dr. Ali stresses that as long as the patient doesn’t have unrealistic expectations, there are five major areas where a person’s life can become immeasurably better by opting for one or more procedures.

“I call it becoming a better person from the outside in,” added Dr. Ali.

Here are the five ways your life can be enhanced from the outside in by opting for one or more cosmetic procedures.

A Sunnier Disposition

A recent European study confirmed that patients who undergo plastic surgery report a boost in self-confidence and overall enjoyment of life.

The study followed 550 patients during and post-procedure and came to the conclusion that the majority of patients, “felt healthier, were less anxious, had developed more self-esteem and found their operated body feature in particular, but also their body as a whole, more attractive,” researchers said.

So if you’re in the doldrums at the moment, and one or more body parts are contributing to your lack of confidence, one or more cosmetic procedures could put that much-needed smile back on your face.

A Healthier Body

You may be wondering how plastic surgery can help your body become healthier. In addition to improved self-esteem, which has innumerable effects on health, there are other facts that might surprise you.

If you have large breasts that prevent you from exercising, for example, a breast reduction would improve your tolerance to exercise, leading to less discomfort and a healthier heart.
A rhinoplasty to repair your deviated septum would lead to improved oxygen flow, more efficient breathing, deeper sleep (and a lot less snoring).

Liposuction and tummy tucks (and even breast reductions) remove fat cells, which contributes to fewer fatty acids being released into the body. You will also decrease your risk of diabetes.

These are just some of the effects that can be had by opting for certain cosmetic procedures. You’ll look better, feel better and you might just live longer.

A Boost Up the Career Ladder

We always hear of celebrities altering their appearance to land juicy roles. It turns out, many non-celebrities are doing the same thing, and enjoying the same types of benefits.

According to the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery and Reconstructive Surgery, a major faction of people who request plastic surgery report doing so because they want to remain competitive on the job.

In addition to higher education and living a healthy lifestyle, the way you look can get you hired or secure you that much-deserved raise.

Is going under the knife the only way to get ahead? Absolutely not, but it can give you a leg up on the competition if you ever find yourself head to head with another professional.
All things being even, if you look better and feel better about yourself, which cosmetic surgery can contribute to, you are more likely to get the job or promotion.

So if you find yourself struggling to find work or stagnant in your current position, one or more plastic surgery operations could help you find the success you crave.

Enhanced Relationships

Dr. Bryan Mendelson, former President of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, says that we are hard-wired to appreciate beauty. And that attractive people, among other things, experience better personal lives.

For one, your relationships could improve. If you or your partner have one or more body parts that prevent you from being intimate, a cosmetic procedure could bring you two closer together.

You might also have an easier time making friends.

Dr. Mandelson cites a study that showed how good looking people are more likely to be labeled as being “good” and trustworthy, and they are simply treated better than those who aren’t as attractive.

Of course, it could be the increase in self-esteem that helps you make better friends and enhances your other personal – even romantic – relationships, but there’s no denying that attractive people are more magnetic.

It’s not all about looks. A personality still goes a long way, but why not get that boost in social status that comes from looking better, if doing so is only a single procedure away?

New Lease on Life

Getting one or more plastic surgery procedures makes you more motivated to improve your life.

“My patients jump out of bed in the morning. They look forward to their days, to meeting new people. There is an obvious change between who they were and who they are now, and it’s a beautiful thing,” said Dr. Ali.

The fact is, cosmetic surgery is a growing movement. Analysts predict that more plastic surgeries will be performed in 2016 than any other year. To put that into perspective, Americans spent $12 billion on cosmetic procedures in 2014, the most recorded since 2008, as seen in the graph below.

With improved confidence, health, professional and social lives, and a whole new outlook, it’s no wonder why so many opt for cosmetic surgery.
