Is Plastic Surgery Right For You?

By John Andrews

Cosmetic surgery is something which a lot of us are thinking of these days.

There are the "extreme" makeover shows on TV and of course the ads are everywhere. It seems like everyone wants to improve their looks surgically.

You might be surprised to find out that cosmetic surgery is in fact not a new development. The first documented plastic surgeries date all the way back to India in 600 BC, including a surgeon who constructed a new nose for a patient using skin from their cheek!

Bigger breasts, smaller noses, bigger lips and slimmer midsections. No matter what part of your body you'd like to change, there is a cosmetic surgery procedure which can do the job; changing your appearance and boosting your self confidence.

There are many reasons that people opt to have cosmetic surgery - maybe you're unhappy with what nature gave you and you'd like a flatter stomach or bigger breasts.

You might also want procedures done to fight back against the effects of aging.

As we get older, we lose two of the important components of our skin which help us look young; elastin and collagen. This loss can be accelerated by sunlight and is what causes wrinkles, creases and furrows to appear. And of course there is gravity, which causes our skin to sag as we age.

Weight loss can also leave you with the problem of sagging skin. It's frustrating to finally lose the weight you've been struggling with and be left with excess skin to contend with afterwards.

Happily, there are cosmetic surgery procedures which can resolve these problems. It's the intersection of science and art - using modern technology to improve on your aesthetic appeal. At the Colorado Plastic Surgery Center, you'll always receive the best in surgical techniques and the personal attention you need.
