Going Under the Knife

There’s no denying that plastic surgery is becoming increase­-ingly popular.

Tasteful, subtle surgery can improve a look, but the recent unveiling of Heidi Montag’s new body has had many people questioning the benefits. So what exactly do the most popular procedures entail? We take a closer look at what you should know before going under the knife¦

Breast augmentation

This is the ever-popular breast implant, which can give you larger breasts or make your own look fuller.  But unnatural silicone is a thing of the past, with more surgeons opting to use natural-looking saline (salt water) implants.

Tummy tuck 

This popular surgery will remove any excess fat or skin on your tummy, and can also restore weakened or separated muscles in your stomach, making you look slimmer. There are several types of tummy tucks, but all basically accomplish the same objective by removing skin and fat.

Face lifts

Face lifts remove signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging skin on your face and neck.  It involves making incisions along your hairline and ears (to hide any scars), repositioning your facial muscles and tissues, and then tightening your skin.

Body contouring (liposuction)

This surgery is most popular in the thigh, hip and tummy area, but any part of your body can be fixed through body contouring.  Liposuction involves inserting a cannula (a little tube) in through an incision and literally sucking out the fat cells.

Mommy Makeovers

This is a combination of several surgeries aimed at women who struggle to regain their figure after childbirth. It usually consists of a breast lift, body sculpting and a tummy tuck. One benefit of this is you only undergo general anesthesia once, rather than multiple times for multiple procedures.

When it comes to choosing your plastic surgeon, look for a certification from a board recognized by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or the American Board of Medical Specialties. Board certified means nothing if the board is an unrecognized, self-designated organization that requires nothing more than a fee to award certification. You should also think about expense, time off from work, potential risks, and what you really expect out of plastic surgery.

Re-doing your whole body head to toe a la Heidi Montag among others is an indication of self-esteem issues. There’s no such thing as perfect, but there is such a thing as a little improvement!

    Hi there! Well hopefully the two of you are in the same city, which makes things alot easier. Going by what you said I would definitely want to get to know him!!! Something I do for myself as I have had several realtionships, is actually sit down and write out exactly what I am looking for in a man!!! No one is perfect, but you want to be happy right? If you have establised this already and have things in common, it would be good to spend some time together in person. Dating is the best thing that I have realized over the years. No need to jump into anything quickly. Beleive me I know!! I have been married and divorced twice!! Get to know your man and he should be showing interest in taking you out and spending time with you and as well introducing you to his friends and family too! Make sure you are happy that’s what counts!!! Best of luck Rockinronni
