  Great Expectations

  Be Reasonable.

  It is sometimes a difficult balance to strike: desiring a significant improvement in one’s appearance after surgery, but at the same time maintaining realistic expectations, whether you choose a single procedure or a combination of a few. There are many similarities between art and surgery, specifically surgery and sculpture. While an artist works with raw materials such as marble and wood, a surgeon works with your body. The better the quality of the materials, the better the final piece of art will be. Similarly, if a surgeon is working with a basically well looked after body, the final result of cosmetic surgery will be better. In more blunt terms, if you are severely overweight, it is unrealistic to expect your surgeon to miraculously obliterate 20 years of overeating in one session of liposuction.

  Be practical.

  Plastic surgeons cannot stop the ageing process or reverse it altogether. They can, however, improve your looks so that you continue ageing from a ‘new starting point’, and this should be the desired post-operative result.

  It’s about YOU.

  Cosmetic surgery is aimed at improving your own assets, what nature gave to you. Therefore, it is virtually impossible to ‘match’ somebody else’s breasts onto your body. The breasts you end up with after breast augmentation depend on the breasts you started with and same-size breast implants could produce a totally different aesthetic outcome when placed behind different shaped and sized breasts, chest cage and many other factors that include general body structure, height and weight.

  Focus!

  It may seem an obvious point to articulate, but if you’re choosing cosmetic surgery to resemble your favourite celebrity, you will find yourself disappointed. That is, unless you can break down what you desire about that person’s individual features and together with your surgeon, set reasonable, achievable goals for surgery.

  Make your expectations narrow and small, not broad and large.

  Your surgeon’s intent is to plan the operation to address your personal desires. These goals have to be defined and discussed before rather then after surgery.

  Give it TIME.

  The results of cosmetic surgery will not be seen immediately. Allow time for your body to heal and settle before you judge the outcome. Body tissue may require months to adjust to its new balance of tension and pull applied upon it during surgery.

  Be active in your own investment.

  The foundations of an improved you have been laid by your surgeon. The rest is up to you. Maintaining your body with a healthy eating and exercise regime after surgery is your own responsibility and the effort will guarantee long lasting results.

  And Remember…

  Cosmetic surgery is a kind of partnership between surgeon and patient. Both parties’ contribution is essential for a successful outcome. Once you take on the above responsibilities, it is your surgeon’s responsibility to have a clear understanding of your aesthetic goals, to perform an excellent execution of the surgery and to ensure appropriate post operative care.

  Cellulite Begone with Endermologie!

  We all live in fear of the appearance of the dreaded ‘orange peel skin’ and truthfully, not many of us escape its arrival.  Whether overweight or not, the fact is that cellulite is a naturally occurring condition caused by trapped ‘pockets’ of fat under our skin which leave us with areas of dimpled, bumpy skin.  The good news is that with the advent of revolutionary new procedures, cellulite can fast become a distant memory.

  Cellulite is most commonly found in women – in the subcutaneous fatty layer underlying the dermis and epidermis on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen.  It is a well known fact that cellulite is almost impossible to get rid off and even those with the healthiest diet, exercise and lifestyle habits suffer from this skin scourge.  Whereas in the past liposuction may have been the only answer, many find this mechanical procedure invasive, rough and painful.  The good news is that Endermologie is safe, quick, easy, effective – and pain free.

  Endermologie is a revolutionary new method of lmphatic draignage for the removal of excess waste, resulting in the banishing of cellulite.  It stimulates the connective tissue of your skin to produce new collagen fibres, resulting in a smooth, tightened and sculpted appearance of the treated skin and underlying tissue.
