As the new year has kicked off, we have finally entered a stage of tranquility where we are not concerned about (too many) holidays. With the calendar resetting, it’s time to look at your goals for this year and decide on your strategy to transform yourself. After all, if you look your best on the outside, you often feel your best on the inside.
Luckily, with today’s advancements in cosmetic surgery, it’s easier than ever to address areas of concern. In this blog, you’ll find out more about the best procedures that can bring you one step closer to your goals.
Why Begin Your Journey Today?
In a sense, the new year symbolizes renewal, hence the “new year, new me” saying. It inspires you to commit, as you have 365 days to bring yourself closer to your goal. This is one of the reasons why most gym memberships are started in January: everyone wants to start the year on the right foot.
There’s also a practical reason behind that: with the cold season still in full swing, you’ll probably spend most of your time indoors. This gives you plenty of time to go through recovery, and when you do go out, you can hide lingering recovery symptoms underneath your clothes. By the time summer turns a corner, all symptoms should be long gone, and you can look your best.
Top Procedures to Create Your Best Self
The treatments you choose will ultimately depend on your body goals, which you should discuss with Dr. McIntosh during your initial consultation. That said, here are the most popular procedures that can transform your look and make you shine:
-
Liposuction
Most people end up with excess fat after the holidays, and it makes sense. With all the food and the chaotic schedules, your body cannot burn the fat fast enough to keep up with your snacking. Even if you don’t gain a lot of weight, you might end up with stubborn pockets of subcutaneous fat. Whether this fat is a new “addition” to the body or has been there for a while, liposuction uses cannulas to remove target fat, leaving you with a better-sculpted figure.
-
Tummy Tuck
Excess skin in the tummy area can make you look like you have fat pockets when, in truth, it’s just sagging. This happens when you lose a lot of weight (or give birth), and the collagen and elastin production is not fast enough to keep up. A tummy tuck can remove the excess skin, offering a flatter stomach that you should be proud to show off.
-
Facelift
Wrinkles and facial skin sagging are a natural part of aging, as your body gradually loses its ability to create more collagen and elastin. Excess UV exposure can make this worse, as it can break the existing collagen your body tried so hard to make. If you have sagging and wrinkles that cannot be addressed with a few filler treatments, facelift surgery can help remove the excess skin and restore your youth. You can also choose area-specific treatments like brow lift, eyelid lift, or neck lift.
-
Breast Augmentation
An average of 71 percent of women are not happy with their cup size, most of them wish that their breasts would be bigger. If you’ve been putting off your breast augmentation procedure, now would be the perfect time to get it done. Implants are the most common option, but if you want to choose the “au naturel” look, you can also opt for fat grafting. There’s also the alternative of a breast lift for those who don’t want volume but wish to fix the sagging.
