Nip This Tuck That

If you want to be happy after your plastic and cosmetic surgery, you may need to check your unrealistic expectations at the door.

This business is rife with patients that have unrealistic expectations.+�-� This makes them, in my opinion, poor surgical candidates.+�-� What’s the problem?+�-� Probably a lack of knowledge and a true understanding about the various plastic surgery procedures and what they can and more importantly can’t do.+�-� For example:+�-� You can’t remove inches of excess skin from an aging face without making an incision aroung the front of the ear.+�-� Current technology Laser, RF, etc can not tighten more than mm’s of skin and certainly nowhere near inches.+�-� This then is an unrealistic expectation that will do nothing more than ensure you’re unhappy when you don’t get what you thought you would with a less effective procedure.

Do your homework, seek out well trained and experienced plastic and cosmetic surgeons and then listen to what the procedures can and can’t do.+�-� Life is full of trade offs and plastic surgery is no different.+�-� There are good and bad points about every preocedure, surgery and treatment.+�-� Be a happy, educated consumer…be realistic from the start and you’ll be happy in the end.

I recently had Dr. Palmer do some work on my nose and I couldn’t have been happier about the result. I have never really been happy with my nose. There were several things that bothered me when+�-�I would see pictures of myself or as an actor on film. But I was too embarrassed with the idea of doing something about it and also didn’t want to drastically change my appearance. +�-�My girlfriend who is the only person I told about it said look it’s your face if you do this you should find the best. We live in Los Angeles I am sure in Beverly hills are some of the best Plastic Surgeons in the world, you should fine one. Its your face and you should get the best even if it costs a little more. After doing research I came across Dr. Palmer.+�-�I liked what he said about doing less and making smaller changes+�G��-�and sculpting to your face. I met with him and he said he wouldn’t shave the bone and rather just would tighten and raise the tip. It would make my nose a little straighter and have a less round and hooked tip. And also would be a less intensive procedure than the other doctor recommended. He said it would do what I wanted but would be subtle and he bet me that no one but me would notice. he said that people would just notice that I looked better. I was nervous but he was so right. In my case I had no scars a small bandage which i got off+�-�four days later. No one has noticed but like he said I have gotten many compliments about how good I look. Most importantly I have noticed and am so happy with the result.+�-�I still look like me but just better. The things that have always bothered me were lessened. I really couldn’t recommend Dr. Palmer more. I looked for the best and feel like+�-�I found him.+�-�And beyond just the result, the process couldn’t have been better. Robyn and Andi in the office have been awesome from scheduling and being available and answering all my annoying questions before and after. I am greatly and truly thankful to Dr. Palmer and his staff for their work and the results. I feel better about myself. The work which is so natural and subtle that no one but my girlfriend and I even know that I did this+�G��-�which is just what+�-�I wanted. +�-�

Thank you.+�-�

OK, seems like I’m know as the “Cheek Guy”….the one you see when your face is not the way you’d like.+�-� At least, that’s what we’ve been told is the word in the entertainment and social community.+�-� That’s OK…I guess I can live with that title.+�-� I do say that the face hangs by the cheeks and that they are the number one most importnat beauty feature of the face…and yes, I do allot of Cheek Augmentation using Cheek Implants and Radiesse…so if the name fits…wear it.+�-� Celebrities have know this for years, so why not get the same star treatment for your face?
