Do You Wish You Had A Beautiful Body? Do You Look In The Mirror Every Day And Hate What You See?

Do you crave a beautiful body and worry incessantly about every little defect in your appearance?

If you have a distorted view of your body and is doesn’t match how others see you, you could be suffering with body dismorphic disorder.

This disorder is on the rise, especially amongst young girls and middle aged women who have their mind set on a beautiful body. Unfortunately the mortality rate from complications can be quite high and eating disorders are a sign of underlying psychological and emotional problems.

The earlier you seek help, the better your chance of recovery, so if you feel that you could be suffering from this disorder, take action now!

Treatment involves working to restore a positive body image as a “beautiful body” is in the eye of the beholder and plastic or cosmetic surgery is not the answer. In fact any good plastic surgeon will not operate on a patient with this disorder.

If, however, it is just a matter of everything going a little south, then you could consider a breast lift or tummy tuck.

If you have a problem of loose abdominal skin caused by weight loss, pregnancy or week abdominal muscles, then a tummy tuck (Abdoplasty) may be your answer. The surgeon will use liposuction to remove fat, then tighten or repair the underlying muscle, and remove excess or sagging skin.

Provided only a mini and not a full tummy tuck is carried out, the incision will be in the pubic hair line and scarring will be minimal.

If you are happy with the size of your breasts, but just want them lifted, then a breast lift (Mastopexy) is the way to go. No amount of exercise or creams will lift your breasts once gravity and the effects of breast feeding have taken hold, so a breast lift is a popular part of a make over. (Of course if you are unhappy with the size, then you can have an enlargement or a reduction.)

The most common method of lifting the breast is through 3 incisions;

•Along the breast crease

•From the base of the areola to the breast crease

•Around the areola

The loose skin is removed and the nipple and areola are repositioned and the areola may be made smaller. You should be aware that sensation may be diminished.

Swelling and bruising could take up to 6 weeks to subside.

Liposuction is a procedure carried out to get rid of the cellulite (lumps and bumps) that plagues most women. Cellulite can affect any woman regardless of size, weight and body type, and women have spent a fortune on creams and various systems to try and solve the problem and have a beautiful body. See the section on cellulite to see what you can do before trying surgery.

If you decide on Liposuction, you will need to be close to your goal weight before a doctor will carry out the procedure, and it works best for people if you have a fair amount of elasticity left in your skin. You will also need to be pretty sure that you are not going to put on weight again so that you keep your new beautiful body, and don’t waste your hard earned cash.

During Liposuction the surgeon will suction out fat with a cannula through a small incision, but care should be taken to see a reputable surgeon as the amount of fat suctioned relative to body weight, and the recovery should be monitored carefully.

I believe that , especially if you are relatively young, it is possible to have a beautiful body by eating the right food and getting the right exercise. After all your body doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. Another alternative is to consider non surgical procedures and laser surgery. If you have made the decision to go ahead with surgery you need to consider the various plastic surgery procedures on offer, so have a look at face lift surgery.

Come to Cape Town for a fantastic holiday and have your plastic surgery at the same time. You will not only have the best surgeons but you will be treated like royalty, and save money to boot. And of course you will have the added bonus that you won’t have to admit to anyone that you have had surgery!
