No matter how you might feel about plastic surgery, it is still the most popular elective surgery in the U.S. Some of you may even be researching a surgeon in Orlando to have a procedure done. This article will provide general information on body contouring via cosmetic surgery, whether you are looking to have it done in central Florida or elsewhere.
In Orlando, Florida and everywhere else in the U.S., breast augmentation remains the most requested cosmetic surgery. More than 17 million cosmetic procedures were performed here in recent years according to American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Liposuction came in 2nd, while rhinoplasty and tummy tucks came in 3rd and 4th respectively. As far as lesser-invasive procedures go, Botox injections and soft tissue fillers were the top choices, followed by facial rejuvenation with chemical peels. It seems skin care assisted by your local surgeon remains a popular life choice.
According to an article in Newsweek Magazine, a social condition has come to the forefront during the last several years. It’s known as “selfie dysmorphia” and involves certain people having completely distorted views of themselves thanks to perfection filter apps widely used when posting selfies to social media sites like Instagram. This condition gives people a very unrealistic bar of perfection they seek to have all the time and in real life, as opposed to just when the app is used. But this is only one reason for the surge in requested procedures. In general, getting plastic surgery enhancements has lost its stigma and is now widely accepted as normal for all economic classes.
Sometimes, the unexpected happens. You might have vetted your surgeon carefully but doctors are human, after all. If something needs correction afterward that means more downtime, even if there’s no added cost. Also, the result might not be what you were expecting. Your friend’s breast surgery turned out great but it doesn’t mean yours will look the same. Be aware that your body and your result will vary, no matter how skilled the surgeon is.
This brings us to the growing popularity of traveling overseas for cosmetic procedures. Be wary! Depending on the country, you choose you may regret it. Google is 
full of links to botched cosmetic procedure stories by people who travelled to another country because of lower cost. Just know there is less chance you can fully vet the surgeon or check their background when you do this and the risk falls squarely on your shoulders. Even if the glossy brochure shows what looks to be a competent surgeon on the cover and a sanitary clinic, that doesn’t mean that’s what you’ll find when you show up to go under the knife. And think about it, just because someone is wearing a name tag saying they are a plastic surgeon, doctor or otherwise, doesn’t mean it’s true if you can’t verify.
It takes many years of study and residency to become a great plastic surgeon. Beware of offers suddenly appearing that offer “butt enhancements” or breast and body procedures that are way below average in cost from your other research. A proper surgeon doesn’t put their talents on sale because they don’t have to. In fact, the better the surgeon the more likely the cost will be higher.
Now that you are armed with a little more information ,conduct your Orlando plastic surgeon search wisely. You can start by asking your friend or relative to recommend the doctor that performed their Mommy Makeover, breast lift, or breast reduction. Then proceed by vetting these doctors on the criteria named in this article. When you’re done, research a few more. When you have a list you’re happy with you can begin with private consultations to see which surgeon makes you feel most at ease. By getting recommendations in the beginning, you’ll save a lot of time and effort during the vetting process and spend more time later with the result you are looking for.
In the end, cosmetic surgery is surgery; it’s invasive and has lasting effects on your body. Take your time and choose wisely so the result enhances your life in a positive way.
If you take a look at plastic surgery, Orlando is like much of the U.S. in that it remains a wildly popular way to contour the body. Whether we’re talking about breast augmentation, breast reduction, or breast lift, this is the most popular area of the body to augment or beautify.
When a woman looks in the mirror, she sees herself a certain way and it’s usually less flattering than how others see her. We’re our own worst critic, so to speak. This is especially true when we’re talking about breast and body image in general. How a woman’s breasts are viewed not just by herself but also others is important to her. This would explain why procedures having to do with altering the breasts are still the number one requested surgery in the U.S. today.
The next most vexing area of the body for a woman is her bottom half, whether it’s thighs, buttocks, or hips. Society puts almost impossible norms on how a woman should look with regards to this area. (Quite unfairly so, considering the woman’s body is made to hold onto fat for survival purposes.) But be that as it may, women do look at their bottom half critically and perform most of their workout time attempting to improve it. Perhaps trying to balance the look of a wide hip or generous bottom is the reason why breast augmentation remains so popular.
One nice development in recent years has been the easing of social standards with regard to “acceptable” body norms for women. A more luxe body is completely okay and even celebrated as is a thinner body with smaller breasts. Individuals are now being regarded by how well they present their bodies as opposed to how they have re-sculpted them.
But women, being who we are, just want to look our best and are still quite enamored with surgical procedures that help us get there. The good news is many new procedures with improved techniques have evolved in the industry giving more options and less discomfort. With most of us in the workforce, it’s also good news that these procedures involve less time off work and less downtime than say a decade ago. This makes it a viable option for many more women to take advantage of.
One of the procedures receiving a lot of attention is the Mommy Makeover. This is a packaged set of surgeries that correct the effect giving birth has on the female body. It involves lifting the breast or augmenting where breastfeeding has left the bosom looking deflated, as well as correcting the stretched appearance of the tummy.
No matter which procedure a woman chooses, or if she chooses no procedure at all, having cosmetic surgery has lost the stigma it once had and has gone mainstream. Those choosing to show off the battle scars of motherhood with pride are fully accepted as well. Both decisions are okay and that says a lot about our society.
But still; it’s nice to have options, isn’t it ladies?
