Start the Year Off Right With a Cosmetic Surgery Procedure

You may have started off the new year by not only looking back on the past 12 months but also making plans for the upcoming 12 months. Maybe you’ve decided that this is the year you are finally going to go for it and get that cosmetic surgery procedure you’ve been wanting. Here are 3 reasons why you shouldn’t put it off anymore – this is the year!

3 reasons you should get that procedure done

Why have you been considering a cosmetic surgery procedure? Everyone has their own reasons, which might include:

1. Health reasons. Plastic surgeons can do more than just make cosmetic changes – they can also perform procedures that keep you healthy and safe. This can include a nose job to help you breathe and sleep better or eyelid surgery to make sure that your vision isn’t impeded.

2. You haven’t seen the results you were trying to get. If you’ve spent months and months (or years and years) working out and watching your diet but still aren’t seeing the toned, contoured body you’ve always wanted, cosmetic surgery can help to get rid of stubborn, excess fat that you just can’t get rid of.

3. You are tired of being self-conscious. Everyone has something about their body they would change – is there something that you are always trying to hide? You don’t have to feel that way anymore. A cosmetic surgery procedure can help you to get rid of that constant feeling of self-consciousness and give you the body and the confidence you deserve to have.

Are you still having doubts about surgery? Don’t worry – you can still make changes. Maybe you’re not ready for a surgical procedure, but you can still take care of wrinkles, lines, and aging skin. There are a variety of injectables and other treatments available to treat any issue you may have – and these are nonsurgical with little (or no) downtime needed.

Why have you been thinking about plastic surgery? Whatever your reasons, if you have decided this is the year you’re going to do it, contact the Weinstein Plastic Surgery Center in Chester, New Jersey. Call (908) 879-2222 for an appointment today!

Is otoplasty right for you?

Otoplasty (also known as “ear reshaping surgery”) is a cosmetic surgery procedure that can change the size or the shape of the ears or can “pin” the ears back. If your ears have always made you feel self-conscious, otoplasty can help!

Who should have ear reshaping surgery?

Ear reshaping can be done at any age, but for children it is typically done after the age of 3, when the ears are mostly grown. It can help ears that stick out too far and ears that are too large. Patients who have had some sort of trauma to the ears, such as cancer or an injury, or patients who were born with a birth defect may also benefit.

What is the procedure for otoplasty?

The procedure is performed with general anesthesia, is an outpatient procedure, and it typically takes less than 3 hours. Most patients are up and about within a few hours after the surgery, but strenuous activity should be avoided for a few weeks – adults should plan on missing 5 days of work and children will miss 7 days of school. Stitches will dissolve or can be removed in about a week, and because the incision is made on the back of the ear, any scarring will be hidden and will fade over time.

Most patients report there is little pain, which can be controlled with over-the-counter medication. You will have to wear bandages after the surgery and then later a lighter head dressing. There will also be some bruising and swelling, but once this reduces you will notice a change in your ears right away. There is a very low risk of complications with this procedure, and it won’t affect hearing.

When considering otoplasty, as with all other types of cosmetic procedures, it is important that you are in good health and that you have realistic expectations about your results.

With an otoplasty procedure, you won’t have to be self-conscious about your ears anymore! No more hiding them underneath your hair or a hat. Call Weinstein Plastic Surgery Center in Chester, New Jersey, for an otoplasty consultation today. Call (908) 879-2222 for an appointment!
