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!

IS IT WORTH GETTING BURNED FROM THE SIDE EFFECTS OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

As a light skinned person, who is interested in getting “Laser Hair Removal”, I am always looking into the potential benefits, and the side effects, -especially, the possibility that I might be “burned”!

(By the way, I have experienced many, different side effects from most of the other “safe and traditional” hair removal methods)!

First, I will weigh the possible side effects of “Laser Hair Removal. Finally, I hope to decide if I’m going to “bet the farm”, by trying the ‘latest and greatest’, “Laser Hair Removal” methods!

PLEASE, before listing the possible side effects, I would hope that a person uses: “common sense”: I sure hope that after reading this article, that a person will be more encouraged to choose a doctor with: the right credentials, along with a good track record (and, -not just because they’re the cheapest doctors in town)!

(1) FIRST SIDE EFFECT: I have read that there are short-term side effects, including redness and swelling. These are usually temporary and, as a rule -go away within one week.

(2) SECOND SIDE EFFECT: One should note that a person can truly get burned, from having this procedure -and not just from your burning pocket book! It is a rare, but strange phenomenon that (usually darker) people’s skin can get burned, if the skin absorbs the laser rays, instead of the hair follicle. You see, the darker skin absorbs the sun’s rays (when tanning) -so, I guess it makes some sense that this might happen while receiving “Laser Hair Removal”. What will happen if the skin does burn? Well, I will now try to explain this, along with other “Laser Hair Removal” side effects:

(3) THIRD SIDE EFFECT: This third, and more permanent side effect of “blotching” (or changes in pigment) can happen (especially, with darker skin). Thankfully, they say that this side effect, rarely happens! I will define the two types of changes in pigment, that may occur: “Hyper-pigmentation and Hypo-pigmentation. Hyper-pigmentation is defined as: the darkening of skin that might occur after laser hair removal treatment (similar to getting an “uneven suntan”). The opposite of the “uneven suntan effect”, is called: Hypo-pigmentation, which is defined: the lightening of skin that might (rarely) happen, after a laser hair removal treatment.

(4) FOURTH SIDE EFFECT: The “Laser Hair Removal” method does not completely (or permanently) remove the hair, as promised. Note: These ads also say that
