The Real Life of Plastic Surgery

Jan 08, 2010

Plastic surgery seems scary for some, exciting for others and everyday fare for almost all reality TV stars. I admit I indulge in the sometimes insane yet highly entertaining realm of reality TV. I saw the bodies of women that said they were like me and craved to have a piece of that glorious photo-shopped, made-for-TV body. But when I went to visit my plastic surgeon he was as honest as Andy Griffith. He said he would be able to do amazing things, but he must work with what he has, and perfection as much as I may have wanted it was not realistic. I completely understood and was excited albeit a tad saddened, half of me wanted the dream of a perfect tomorrow but the over 25 years-old demographic real me knew the truth, as many pounds as it was. I found that deciding to have plastic surgery for any reason had to be my own. Whether I could chalk my reasons up to securing myself some illustrious mystery man or for finding my dream career or for simply filling that gaping hole in my self-esteem, the reason had to be mine. I was cautious because of the mass amounts of Discovery Health Channel that had filled my free time before showing horror stories of plastic surgery gone awry, so I set my adventure in more immediate arenas, the internet and women at my workplace. One friend who had recently had breast augmentation was informative and told me about a surgeon located in Scottsdale, Arizona, named Dr. Guerra. I took his information down and started a hunt on the internet to find out as much about his practice, his competition, his prices and him. Most were easily found; he had a very nice practice and matching office, a lot of competition, but a user friendly website. I decided the best bet was to find the top three surgeons and make consultations, an all day affair, I soon learned.

Thank you,
