Things to know about getting a boob job

1. When you get breast implants, you are signing up for at least one or more surgeries down the road.
 I would like all women to know that breast implants are not for life. They almost always have to be replaced or removed at some point in a woman's life. I'm shocked at how many women don't know this.
2. When deciding on size, be cautious of boob greed
I think  women get greedy and go for sizes that don't ‘suit the foundation’ as my surgeon put it. We all start off with a certain size and need to respect that. 
3. What you see immediately after surgery isn’t your final result.
Take a lot of pics from different angles the first few days. Two or three weeks later, you will be glad you did. You can look back and see just how much progress you have made. They change so much the first two weeks or so. It's easy to get discouraged, because you are looking at them every day, and you might not realize how much they are changing. If you have day 1 and 2 photos to look at, you will feel so much better.
Don't worry about the initial results — everything will change over the first weeks and months as your muscles relax.
4. Feeling down ? 
The fact that you lose your independence for a good two weeks is depressing. You will also feel like you made a mistake and regret getting [your implants] during this depression and I think the pain meds contribute to feeling depressed. At the start of the second week, things felt better.

Nose Job Facts



A prospective patient’s face needs to reach skeletal maturity ,be fully formed  before they can get a nose job.
For girls, this is generally ages 14 or 15 at the earliest. Since boys’ faces grow a little slower, age 15 is the minimum for males. But obviously, skeletal maturity varies from patient to patient.
Know that rhinoplasty isn’t going to miraculously change your life. If you’re doing it because you think you’re going to get a better job, or a new boyfriend or girlfriend, or because your marriage is falling apart, that’s not a reason to get a rhinoplasty.
 The person who should not have a rhinoplasty is the person who cannot find a suitable nose that they want on the face.
Find the right doctor that you are comfortable with.
Manage your expectations. You will not have the perfect nose or look exactly like the person of your choice. Be realistic.
Take your time recovering and don't rush the process , listen to your doctor.
 Rhinoplasty surgeries are not cheap. Make sure you can afford one without being left broke.

The Do's and Don'ts of Cosmetic Surgery

Cosmetic surgery is an investment. Literally speaking, you are investing money into your appearance. It’s also an investment of time and energy.
Cosmetic surgery procedures increases satisfaction rates, and most patients are thrilled with their results for many years after surgery. However, it’s important to understand that your results require maintenance to stay in shape, and that nothing can fully stop the effects of aging, lifestyle habits, and genetics.
The great news is that there are some things you can do to successfully maintain your results for years to come! Here are some tips and tricks on how to maintain your surgery,

1. A healthy diet & regular exercise are key

Body contouring procedures can transform your curves, providing a more pleasing  look. While the results may seem magical, the look you see now can only last if you remain at a healthy weight. For instance, fat removal procedures such as liposuction will permanently get rid of targeted fat cells, but if you gain weight, you will see it in other areas as remaining fat cells expand.

2. Good skin practices make a big difference now and later

Immediately after your procedure, proper care makes a big difference in scarring. And as time goes by, great skin care will help your results look as good or better than ever.
First off, scarring is a necessary aspect of many surgeries and while your surgeon will take care to place your incisions where they can be most easily hidden, making sure they heal and fade nicely over time is partially in your hands. Be sure to protect your incisions in the sun, keep the area clean, and use the topical scar care creams and ointments recommended by your doctor.
Good skin care is so helpful. Even if you have an existing skincare routine, it’s best to ask about your products and see if you should adjust anything going forward.
 Most importantly, follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions.

3. Healthy habits inside & out

What you put in and on your body not only impacts your surgical results, it can make a huge difference in your overall health. Be honest with your surgeon about your lifestyle habits. Let him or her know if you smoke, how much you drink, any medications you are on, and even what supplements or vitamins you use both internally and externally. Your surgeon will let you know the steps you should take to prepare for surgery and what to avoid to ensure your results are as perfect as can be.

If you are considering a cosmetic surgery procedure, find a certified cosmetic surgeon in your area.

Loving my Body

 
I got the chance to talk about myself.
I love my body and the different modifications done to it.
From my ears being pierced to my first tattoo that my best friend created for me at the age of 17, I love them all.
Being able to express myself physically and through the eyes of others makes me feel proud.
I feel entitled to the happiness that I get when I get a new piercing or tattoo.
