The reality is that most patients only lose about two to five pounds in total. The best candidates, in fact, are generally within 30 percent of a healthy weight range and have localized fat pockets they would like to reduce.

Myth #2 – Cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery are one and the same.

 The terms “plastic surgery” and “cosmetic surgery” are not interchangeable. Confusion about the terms has led to public misconceptions about the two specialties. Cosmetic surgery is the surgery of appearance. It is elective and focuses on the aesthetics of beauty.

Myth #3 – Plastic surgery is only for women

Although women do make up the majority of plastic surgery patients, male patients currently represent about 15% of the total number of patients undergoing cosmetic surgery, and that number has been on a steady rise over the last decade. More men than ever before are seeking access to non-surgical procedures like Botox, neurotoxin, or fillers to rejuvenate their appearance. Men of all ages are also growing more comfortable with surgical procedures such as liposuction, rhinoplasty, and gynecomastia, which is the treatment of enlarged congenital breasts.

Studies have shown that there is no medical risk for babies who are born to or breast-fed by women with saline or silicone breast implants. There are many ways to reduce the size of scars and make them less noticeable
