One of the greatest shows on television now days is "Nip Tuck." please tell me you caught the season finale! It was outstanding. Granted this show can get a little racy, but the writing it phenomenal and the acting superb. It focuses on the lives of two plastic surgeons, and how messed up things can get. While some may think the series promotes cosmetic surgery for anyone anytime, I think it does the opposite. It shows how little can be gained by cosmetic enhancement. And sometimes much is even lost. Call it a contemporary take on beauty.
Recently my wife came to me and said she was getting rhinoplasty done. Just to be clear, recently translates to yesterday, and she's having the surgery done in one week. HUH! That was pretty much my reaction. Now I know that she has mentioned potential cosmetic surgery for her nose in the past, but this hit me like a ton of bricks. How am I supposed to respond to such a bold comment? And more importantly, what is this going to cost? When I inquired price information, she said 3,000 like it was no big thing. Did I miss something here? Did we just win the lottery or what? To my knowledge we're already in the hole by several thousand dollars and living paycheck to paycheck. Three grand is definitely NOT some extra cash we have lying around. Regardless, she responded with the classic female routine of "I'm angry and emotional, so don't mess with me." Any guys out there ever encountered that spiel? Yeah, it gets old, doesn't it?
The decision of cosmetic surgery for any aspect of your face or body is a major one. Think carefully before you jaunt off to some expensive doctor and have plastic surgery done. Not only can it cost a bundle, but it also has potential ramifications. Things CAN go wrong. This brings me to my next point. Search high and low to find the absolute best and highest recommended plastic surgeon around. This is, after all, cosmetic surgery for your image. The last thing you want is to be on one of those talk shows rambling on about what went wrong. Proceed with caution!
