Can I Really Look Like That? - Wednesday, March 25, 2009

It's not uncommon for our prospective patients to come in with pictures of celebrities who represent what they want to look like. This is a good starting place for a discussion about what you hope to achieve, but it cannot be an ending place.

One of the most important things to remember if you are considering plastic surgery is to maintain realistic expectations for the results of your procedure. The truth is that, no matter how hard we try, we cannot make you look just like Megan Fox, Marisa Miller, Scarlett Johansson, or any other celeb du jour, which is good, because, in truth, you don't want to. What we at The Centre, P.C. can do for you is to help you look honestly at your body and assess the areas where surgical or nonsurgical intervention can help you look like the best you that you can be.

Here are some tips for getting the best and most satisfying results from your plastic surgery procedure:

Focus on Accentuating the Positive: If you have a good face, but have always felt that your nose is large, think of a rhinoplasty not as "correcting" your nose, but as enhancing your facial shape. If you have good size breasts that don't look as good because of a protruding stomach, think of your abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) not as "correcting" your stomach, but letting your breasts stand out more.

Focus on Looking Better: Plastic surgery cannot achieve perfection, but it can improve your appearance dramatically. Breast augmentation can't turn you into a swimsuit model, but it can give you larger breasts that are in better proportion with your body and help you fill out swimsuits and other clothes better. Focusing on the improvement will help you experience a better confidence boost, which is the main benefit of plastic surgery.

Appreciate Your Uniqueness: Here at The Centre, P.C, we're not a factory that produces homogenous bodies like fashion dolls. Instead, we help accentuate the best parts of you by removing impediments that you yourself cannot. Some stubborn fat deposits simply resist your best efforts, but we can use liposuction to accomplish what you cannot with diet and exercise.

If you follow these tips and manage your expectations by looking at our before and after galleries, we think you will be very pleased by the results of your plastic surgery, no matter what procedure you select.
