Facial Plastic Surgery

As our society increases its emphasis on youth and appearance, it is no surprise that each year millions of people have some type of cosmetic surgery performed. Men and women in South Mississippi are increasingly turning to cosmetic surgery as they realize that you do not have to be a movie star or millionaire to improve your appearance. Cosmetic surgery is not for everyone, however, and it is important to understand what it can and cannot do for the individual. Youth and beauty are spiritual qualities that result from an attitude about yourself and about life that have little to do with your age. Every person has some natural beauty, both in the physical and in the spiritual sense, which can usually be improved upon. Tools to accomplish this vary from religion, attitudes and relationships to good health, grooming, makeup, and, of course, cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is best suited for individuals in whom an improvement in outward appearance also results in an improved feeling about themselves and the world they live in.

While perfection is an unrealistic expectation, a good surgeon will get consistently good, near perfect results and occasional perfect results. Although fortunately uncommon, there are always risks of cosmetic surgery as with any surgery, which vary with the operation and the individual. Some of the more common cosmetic procedures are described briefly below. These can usually be done in the office or as an outpatient at the hospital under local anesthesia, resulting in increased safety and savings to the patient.
 

Included below is a list of some of the more common procedures we offer along with a brief discussion of the procedure and some before and after photographs.  The patient photographs shown are with their gracious consent given in order to help others in their choices.

SELECTION OF A SURGEON

A surgeon should be selected on the basis of competence and mutual trust and respect. Sophisticated people realize that the competence of a surgeon is not measured by an occasional good result or slick or misleading advertising. A surgeon’s ability is based on a combination of training, experience and God given skill with his hands. Most good surgeons will belong to a professional organization, which sets high standards and qualifications for membership, such as the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. It goes without saying that your surgeon should be board certified.

Finally, although money is a consideration, the cheapest price may not necessarily be the best bargain. Do not forget you plan to live with the result the rest of your life. If you compare the cost over the years of improving one’s appearance through makeup, hair care and jewelry, you may find cosmetic surgery a better bargain.
