COSMETIC SURGERY ISN'T ENOUGH!

When you look as good as you can look, you will feel good. And when you feel good, the sky's the limit. Cosmetic surgery is usually not enough. Something more is needed. But the need for something more, for even more positive steps toward wellness, and to slow down aging, comes from inside the patient.
You see, when people start to look good and feel good, they begin to want to do more for themselves. I said earlier that the primary myth of any wellness or anti-aging program is that "it cannot be done.” Cosmetic surgery banishes that myth once and for all. It dramatically points out that youth can be extended.
We all grow older. If we fall under the spell of the "you can't do anything against aging" myth, then we can get depressed. Once you're depressed, you're likely to just sit in a corner and do nothing for yourself. You can get caught in a downward spiral of aging and illness. Cosmetic surgery can act as the first decisive battle won against the forces that cause aging as well as those that take away motivation, the will to live, and the determination to live a joyful and meaningful life.

A Few Practical Points. . .

All of the cosmetic surgery procedures described in this web site can be performed on an out-patient basis thus saving you the time and cost of hospitalization.

At the time of your consultation, the surgeon will discuss with you all fees. He will advise you also that in cosmetic surgery it is customary to request the patient to pay all the fees in full before the surgery. If your surgery involves correction of functional problems of a medical nature your insurance should reimburse you for that portion of the procedure. This applies mostly to nasal surgery, when you previously suffered an injury to your nose and/or you have difficulty breathing through your nose.

According to regulations issued by the IRS in 1978 (IRS ruling "76-322") the cost of cosmetic surgery procedures is 100% deductible as medical expense on your Federal Income Tax return.

This web site is not intended to answer all of your questions. The consultation with your cos­metic surgeon should be the most important step in your decision about surgery.

There are no "miracles" in cosmetic surgery. Perfect results are rare. After all there is no real perfection in Mother Nature. Despite this the majority of patients are satisfied with the outcome.

Although psychological benefits of improved appearance are usually obvious, there is no guarantee that it will accomplish a positive change of your personality or attitude toward life and society. A cosmetic surgeon can help you look better: it is up to you to utilize it in a positive way in your emotional adjustment and growth.

If after careful consideration, you decide that cosmetic surgery is for you, do not wait too long to carry your plan through. Bear in mind that the longer you put it off, the harder it gets, to build up enough courage to do it.
