Nothing in life is entirely black and white. When it comes to considering plastic surgery or exercise, the same holds true, and it doesn’t have to be an either-or question. No qualified and reputable plastic surgeon would suggest to their patients that surgery is a healthy substitution to diet and exercise. Practicing a healthy lifestyle not only shapes your body aesthetically but contributes to overall health and longevity. However, even a personal trainer and the healthiest diet can’t do everything, which is where cosmetic surgery becomes a valuable option to help people meet their body image goals. Below are some scenarios where cosmetic surgery provides solutions that exercise can’t.
Tightening Loose Skin
Exercise is a great way to lose large amounts of weight, however, the excess skin due to major weight loss or aging is almost impossible to remove without surgical intervention. Skin isn’t always as resilient as we’d like and sometimes will fall loosely in areas where there were the greatest fat deposits. For someone who has dedicated themselves to healthier lifestyles, it can be extremely discouraging when the mirror isn’t reflecting the results they’ve worked so hard for. In these situations, cosmetic procedures to remove excess and tighten skin are the best option to maintain their new bodies.
Bringing the Body into Proportion
Sometimes, even the best health regimens can’t shape a patient into their ideal body proportions. For example, if a female patient is top heavy, chances are, even after losing a large amount of weight, that she will be a smaller, firmer version of herself but will still not have the hourglass figure she desires. The patient’s best option to achieve her goal is to undergo body shaping procedures that can achieve a more aesthetically pleasing body shape, providing her with the determination to permanently maintain her new figure.
Reducing or Eliminating Stubborn Fat Deposits
Even the thinnest and healthiest people often struggle with annoying and stubborn pockets of fat in various places. When your goals are so close in reach, these last fat deposits can seem like an impossible hurdle to climb with just healthy diet and exercise. Less invasive procedures like liposuction and CoolSculpting® are extremely useful in eliminating these last few fat deposits that exercise alone may be unable to do.
