Fashion Show Lets Cosmetic Surgery Patients Show Confidence - Friday, June 13, 2008

Most people considering cosmetic surgery are not runway models. They are people ashamed of their bodies, for whom the thought of displaying themselves in such a context causes bouts of terror. However, a dozen women and a man who underwent cosmetic surgery strutted their stuff on a runway in Long Island to show just how proud they were of their new bodies.

The women and man received many cosmetic surgery procedures including liposuction, tummy tucks, breast lifts, face lifts, and others to remedy the effects of pregnancy, weight gain and loss, and aging. Many of them had not told some of their family and friends about the procedures because they were ashamed of their bodies, making the show a sort of "coming-out" party as well. This final step of asserting and "owning" the surgery is crucial if a person is to make cosmetic surgery not just a procedure for the body, but for the self.

The show also proves that, no matter how many times people disparage it, plastic surgery can do real good in the world, as patient after patient finds their lives changed for the best.
