We never really see ourselves as others do – we have favourite angles or often only see what we don’t like. While you talk to me, I’ll look at you three-dimensionally, see the totality of your face and, since I don’t know you, view you objectively. We’ll look in a mirror together so that you can point out what’s bothering you, and I can show you the ways your face has aged, telling you where you’ve lost fat and deflated, what’s fallen and which furrows and wrinkles make you look older than you feel. Then I’ll show you what I can improve and how you’ll look after surgery.

ASK QUESTIONS

From my point of view, the longer your list of questions, the better! You’ll want to know everything about what can be done and, if you decide to go forward, what will happen during and after the procedure. Those before-and-after pics on cosmetic surgery websites are important because they show you the kinds of changes we can make and demonstrate what we consider to be good work. Ask to see additional before-and-after pics and have the surgeon or patient coordinator point out what each patient wanted, how their face had aged and what was done. Ask for all the post-procedure details, including how long before the swelling and bruising diminishes and when you can go back to work. As for complications, you’ll want to know what they might be, if your surgeon has ever experienced them and, if so, how they deal with them.

Having cosmetic surgery is a big, exciting, life-changing decision, and you’ve got to get it right. For more information on what questions to ask, check out my website at torontoplasticsurgeon.com.

I was so happy to see the article “I Pee My Pants” in the April/May issue. I have had this issue for years. I have to plan my walks. I know where every bathroom open to the public is in my area. I just decided to wear light days pads but as the article says, this is just a short-term fix. I don’t even talk to my friends about this. My husband doesn’t understand. I’ll show the article to my husband.

Life with social distancing has been stressful on top of my other health issues. Coping with our COVID world has made my other concerns seem worse. I came across the April/May issue under some books in my nightstand and finally read it last night. It was a great read and it felt like a sign that everything is going to be ok! The article on “Mood Enhancers,” “A World of Worry,” and “The Halo Effect of Exercise” were so helpful to me during this difficult time. Thank you Best Health.

As a subscriber to Best Health I knew a gift subscription for my brother’s girlfriend would be not only well received as a source of “aha moments” and encouragement for better, everyday living but also a fun way to keep in touch across the miles when we find this great magazine in our mailboxes. It gives us another thing in common besides my brother!
