Have you thought about cosmetic surgery but always been a little timid about taking the next step? You are not alone. Many women secretly wish they could correct a flaw in their appearance. Some would love to erase those telltale signs of aging that make them look older than they feel. Businesswomen rightfully worry that looking too mature puts them at a competitive disadvantage. Women who fought hard to win the battle of the bulge find the sagging skin left after weight loss utterly demoralizing.
Sometimes it's a simple desire to fit into clothes that leads women to consider plastic surgery. We want our curves to match the darts and flares of our clothing. As we move through life, it’s discouraging to find that our bodies have sagged inches off the mark! We know cosmetic surgery can solve our problems, but we’re hesitant to take the plunge.
Dr. Vicente Poblete and the caring staff at Accentuate Within Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery Center in Avon Lake, Ohio understand your concerns. That is why we include resources to educate our patients, such as our Patient Diaries, on our website. Patient Diaries allow you to read about the real-life plastic surgery experiences of Cleveland women just like yourself. Each patient story chronicles a different Cleveland cosmetic surgery experience through the eyes of an Accentuate Within patient. Before and after patient photographs allow you to observe the real body changes made possible by cosmetic surgery. You might also want to view our Patient Gallery for more before and after photographs to see the difference cosmetic surgery can make.
If you're considering plastic surgery, the caring staff at Accentuate Within wants you to feel comfortable with your decision. We will answer all your questions and even arrange for you to talk with a former Cleveland cosmetic surgery patient about their experience. Let plastic surgery unleash your hidden beauty.
This was the year you finally did it. After years of dragging around those unattractive excess pounds, you finally made good on your promise to yourself to lose weight and keep it off. Maybe you were inspired by television's The Biggest Loser. Maybe someone make an unkind joke about your "pregnancy." Maybe the wheezing as you climbed the stairs gave you a scare. Maybe you finally listened to your doctor's warnings about heart risk and diabetes. Whatever your motivation for taking better care of yourself, we're sure it wasn't easy and we congratulate you on your accomplishment.
Losing weight is a long, difficult process that requires dedication, commitment, sacrifice and lots of sweat. The goal of a slimmer, trimmer, healthier you, makes it all worthwhile, but sometimes the results can be disappointing. As you've power walked your way around the neighborhood, pedaled away furiously on your stationary bike and sweat to the beat at your local gym, one thing has kept you going. In your mind's eye you have pictured yourself slim, svelte and fabulous. Unfortunately, when you look in the mirror all these months later what you see is flaccid, drooping breasts, wrinkly upper arm "wings," puckery thighs and, worst of all, an ugly saddlebag of stretched belly skin dropping across your lower abdomen. This can't be what you worked so hard to achieve.
What most women and men don't realize is that skin stretched by fat for long periods loses some of its elasticity. Age and rapid weight loss can exacerbate the problem. When you remove the fat that plumped and stretched your skin, the skin may not "snap back" to its former shape. You're left with unsightly folds of skin draping your body. Cosmetic and plastic surgery can remove that excess skin and restore your body shape to give you the attractive appearance you worked so hard to achieve. Cosmetic surgery after significant weight loss has been increasing steadily in Northeast Ohio and the rest of the country, as noted in the Aesthetic Society's latest statistics.
