Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Articles

We’re finally returning to a sense of normalcy, and our practice is filling up with new patients. After a long year of staring at ourselves all day on Zoom calls, it’s easier than ever to notice imperfections on your face or your body. Dr. Davis is here to remind you that these imperfections aren’t always a cause of concern.

As people begin to shake hands and interact face to face, pandemic-related body dysmorphia is becoming more and more prevalent. At Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, we’re always happy to help you feel your best and look even better, but don’t let minuscule imperfections get you down.

Hi everyone. Now that the pandemic is starting to slow down a little bit, we’re starting to see a whole different crowd of patients that are starting to come in. And a lot of this has to do with trying to now get back to a more normal lifestyle. So for a long time, we were seeing patients that were really only seeing themselves and communicating with people via different kinds of zoom calls and things where you were actually looking at a screen at each other.

But now that you know, you’re gonna be going back to see your fellow employees, you’re gonna go back to see clients and other people, you really are starting to think about how you look in like person. And one of the things that we’re noting is that even though that idea of a dysmorphia, sometimes it was being called Snapchat dysmorphia or Zoom dysmorphia, some of it really is true. And some of it is really pulled out of complete context.

And what I want you to understand is when you’re staring at yourself very closely for hours of the day on a Zoom call, a lot of times you’re gonna see some imperfections that really no one else is spotting except you. And you’re looking at yourself for an extended period of time.

So when you come in and talk about that, if it isn’t something that your plastic surgeon, somebody like me, would be able to really see, don’t have them try to fix that because I think you’re gonna end up just looking a little bit more odd than you thought.

Second thing is, you actually may have something that you discovered by staring at yourself so long. And that is something that if your plastic surgeon is identifying with you, that could definitely be something that gets fixed. And look at that. You’ve actually uncovered something that may have always been there, that you never really noticed before. Now you can look so much better.

But think about it also from seeing people in person now, because a lot of body type dysmorphia is also something that we’re starting to see. When our patients are coming in and they may have gained a significant amount of weight over this pandemic.

If you need some help with that kind of stuff, don’t hesitate to reach out to your plastic surgeon or to get some help from someone in order to help train you in that ability to like lose a little bit of weight, get back on maybe a diet and exercise regimen.

But don’t forget that there are some great tools that we have to help you kind of slim down and look better in your clothing and even on the beach. So take that for what it’s worth and just understand that for now, we are getting back to seeing more and more people that have not only facial, but body type things that we can address and have you back to work very quickly.

Now that most of us are back in the office or face-to-face meeting clients, demand for cosmetic plastic surgery remains at an all-time high. As much as we all love making calls over Zoom, returning to work is an exciting time for us all.

So why not look and feel your best before adjusting to the world outside of quarantine? Two of the most popular procedures we’re doing here at Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery are breast augmentations and breast lifts. It could be you gained or lost weight over the past year, or you’re just looking to finally make that change.

Regardless of the reasoning, our team is happy to help you achieve the post-quarantine cosmetic look you’ve always wanted.

Hey, how are you doing, we’re back again for another day of surgery. And it’s getting really, really busy with surgical procedures that are more body and face oriented to get back to seeing your clients, to see your co-workers, because you’ve been out for so long, doing things at home or via zoom that now that you’re heading back to the office or back to work, you’re really gonna want to like, make sure that you look as great as you can.

So the two big procedures that are going on right now, we’re doing a lot of breast augmentations and breast lift, because that’s one of the things that as you start to get older, you may not be able to make look as great as they once did. And especially over this past 18 months with this pandemic, if you’ve also put on a little bit of weight or even if you’ve lost weight and now your breasts don’t look as full as they did, we can restore that by doing a little bit of a lift and a little bit of a breast implant.

In addition to that, one of those topics that we always talk about is something called, the mommy makeover. And the mommy makeover, or if you’re a guy it’s the daddy do-over that also incorporates a bunch of different things that you could put into that category.

One of the things that we’ve been doing a lot of is some liposuctioning and trying to just get that area, that’s just bothersome to you to just look better and you’ll look better on your clothing, when you’re getting back to work, not just going to the beach, not just going to sit outside by a pool, but actually if there are problem areas that you really just couldn’t get rid of. And even if you would do doing all your diligence at home during the pandemic and working out and doing things like that, you just may have had a difficult time trying to get rid of some of that extra fat.

So the liposuctioning is a big component, but today we’re actually doing a combination for a mommy makeover of doing some liposuctioning, mini tummy tuck, and then putting a breast implant in, to just give a little bit more volume to the superior pole of the breast that may have gone away with pregnancies and just getting older.

Stay tuned because I actually wanna take you into the operating room so you could see a little bit more about what we’re doing. Talk to you soon.
