What makes good plastic surgery good plastic surgery?

The fact is that well done plastic surgery is aesthetic, natural and nearly impossible to spot. It should not look like surgery at all.

Who's taking advantage of this new wave of popularity? Baby boomers who are exercising and taking good care of themselves wish to look the way they feel and are turning to cosmetic surgery in ever increasing numbers. Mothers who, after multiple childbirths, have seen their body change, particularly with loss of the abdominal firmness, laxity of skin, and stretch marks. They have also seen their breasts lose volume and droop and understand that nothing other than cosmetic surgery will return them to something approaching the figure they had before children. People in the workforce are competing against younger employees. Regardless of how capable they may be, their faces may have an older, more tired and less attractive appearance than they once had, and they feel this puts their jobs and/or promotions at risk. The media is constantly bombarding us with images of slender beautiful young women with toned and near perfect bodies. This stereotyping pressure influences a lot of young women to consider breast augmentation, rhinoplasties and liposuction. Lastly, the advent of increasingly popular gastric bypass surgeries for the significantly obese can now be done with much greater safety and effectiveness. Following 50-150 pound weight loss, these patients require most of the tools in the cosmetic surgery armamentarium in order to remove and re-contour the flaccid and redundant skin. These are just some of the multitude of reasons to help explain why plastic surgery has become such a major growth industry.

I know this because for the last 25 years I have been a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon in La Jolla, California. Visit ourSan Diegoplastic surgery online at www.drdavidwolf.com. In that 25 years I have had the opportunity to do over 18,000 surgeries. I had a chance not only to evaluate the results of my own surgeries, but to see problems and complications of a number of different patients who had plastic surgery elsewhere. In fact, approximately one-third of the surgeries that I performed involved correcting or improving problems that had resulted from an initial attempt at surgery by another surgeon.
