The holiday season is in full swing, and many of us are rushing about looking for the best gifts to show appreciation for all the special people in our lives. While you’re focused on bringing joy to everyone else, don’t forget to set aside time to take care of yourself. Treating yourself to a cosmetic surgery procedure will not only help you feel better about how you look, it often provides additional psychological benefits and enhances your well-being. In fact, numerous studies have proven that an improvement in our appearance yields much more than physical results: it has a broader, long-lasting, positive impact on self-image and self-esteem.
Here are some of the most popular plastic surgery procedures that are in particularly high demand in our office around the holidays:
- Procedures to enhance your face:
- eyelid lift: get rid of heavy, hooded upper eyelids, remove undereye bags and loose skin
- rhinoplasty: refine your nose, remove the hump, straighten a crooked septum, narrow a boxy tip
- microsuction: eliminate fat pad under the chin, sharpen the jawline
- lift: upper, middle, or lower facelift, and necklift surgeries all eliminate loose skin, improve contour, and restore more youthful facial appearance
