So you’re thinking of having cosmetic surgery? I think cosmetic surgery is ideal if you find you are not happy with something about your body!

This topic really interested me because I am having thoughts of having cosmetic surgery. These are the steps I have taken.

The first thing I did was ask my own primary care physician who they would recommend. After I as given some names, I began to research every name on the list.

Some of the cosmetic surgeons were cheaper but then I had to ask myself, if he or she, was cheaper, would their results look cheap? The old saying, “You get what you pay for” is none less true in choosing a cosmetic surgeon. While most, if not all, cosmetic surgeons have the same training, it’s a matter of who will put the most time and care into my surgery. If it means paying more, then I will pay more and get the job done right in the first place!

If the one surgeon is cheaper, does that mean he or she will go faster to get more patients throughout the day? Could it be as he or she is trying to appeal to the wallets of prospective patients because most insurances do not cover cosmetic surgery? But to make up the amount he or she loses from what higher priced doctors charge and make, the overall result may end up looking as if you had gone to a meat butcher rather then a cosmetic surgeon!

Don’t be afraid to ask questions while in your search. Most cosmetic surgeons love to brag or boast about their credentials anyhow! Question where he or she went to school and find out about the school. Is is recognizable or is it one of those schools you’ve never heard of and when you “google” it, it’s on the last of ten pages!

Definitely find out if he or she is board certified in cosmetic surgery! Believe it or not, some cosmetic surgeons are not board certified! Being board certified requires up to two or more additional years of training and it’s worth it to have one that is board certified!

Ask to look at his portfolio and don’t be shy about looking at other women’s breast! Look at the breast for positioning, scarring, and any discoloration in the areola that might not seem normal. Look at chin implants and see if you can see any visible scars. Look to see if it would be what you would want. Whatever you’re wanting done, look at the pictures done for that specific surgery!

Also, look at his clinic and the surgeon’s appearance! Is his office in an old gas station or a nice office? Sounds funny but it happens! Just like your personal appearance would be evaluated from an employer during an interview, you are interviewing for your surgery to be done! Is the doctor well groomed and dressed nice? A person’s dress and looks have a lot to say about them!

Forget about hurting their feelings if you don’t feel they’re what you want, set your standards high! This is your shot at getting that look you want and it’s worth being picky! And if you have chosen the low road over the high road, do you have the funds to do it all over again?

Good luck with your search in choosing your cosmetic surgeon!

As an anti-cosmetic surgery advocate it was surprising to discover that the procedure, at which the dentist described as more of a filling, was in truth cosmetic tooth bonding. Even on the insurance bill, the process was described as a filling. As a patient undergoing cosmetic tooth bonding I barely would have noticed the difference between my cavity and my tooth enlargement. Cosmetic tooth bonding is available for individuals who have minor imperfections such as chipped, spotted, uneven, or discolored teeth.

Once the mouth is jacked up on Novocain around the area undergoing the bonding, it’s time for the procedure to begin! It’s not as complicated as one would think. In my experience, I had no appointment for the bonding. I was there for my last weekly check on my freshly realigned smile. I was unhappy with the size of my canines so my dentist squeezed me right in to his schedule and I was out of there within the hour.

The most unpleasant part of the procedure is the first, and that is the tooth roughening. This does not hurt but gives off an unpleasant odor as no smell can be too charming when it is being filed from bone. After the roughening of the tooth, a gel is applied soon followed by bonding primer, resin, and what truly makes your new smile sparkle, composite. This composite is made up of inorganic fillers. These inorganic fillers contain photo-initiators as well as quarts, glass, and silicon dioxide.

The composite does not magically shape your tooth to perfection. It requires the dentist’s careful manipulation to sculpt and buff. The composite also comes in many shades of color to match the rest of your smile. As in my case, there wasn’t quite a match so he instructed me to buy Crest Whitening Strips. These strips do not dye the bonded tooth but will dye the rest of the smile to help match the composite.

Cosmetic Tooth Bonding lasts a great deal of time for the minute length at which is requires to successfully complete the procedure. I know that I am increasingly happy with my smile and never regretted my decision to undergo the process even though I was a little slow to figure out it was all for aesthetics.
