Surgery No, Transformation YES!
Are you thinking about the
latest and greatest procedure to
change the shape of your body?
Well question your decision before you put down that
credit card. And I’m not talking about updating the boobies
for a perkier look (I’ll be the first to tell you to go for
that!), I’m talking about liposuction, fat transfers, booty implants,
etc…all the procedures that promise a brand new you, and give
you the look you always wanted, all those advertisements that just
seem too good to be true. Sure, a shortcut seems appealing and ideal
to some, or most…but you may want to think twice before going
under the knife. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against all surgeries
- I’m for the mom that has lots of excess extra skin. I’m for the one
who has literally tried everything (and tried it the right way) and
just needs that little extra help. I’m just weary against unnecessary
procedures and here’s why:
1Regret. I can’t tell you how many clients regret their surgery.
After it’s done, there is no going back. The worst is
when a client does go back to get a revision and it comes
out worse. Before going in, you should ask yourself, “Is this my
last resort, have I tried everything else? Would I really need lipo if
I just cleaned up my diet? Do I really need booty implants, if I did
all the right exercises - even if it took me 2-3 years or whatever
the time frame may be?”
2Longevity of results. Sure, you might look like a hot tamale
for a quick minute but if you don’t have the foundation of a
healthy lifestyle, the results will not last. I’ve had clients tell
me they got lipo and gained it all back! Can you imagine spending
all that time, money, and risks only to gain it all back. I never understood
how one could think they can continue eating junk and the
fat would never come back. That would be a miracle! If you learn
how to eat and exercise correctly, those are the results that last. It
may not be the quick fix you were hoping for but I can promise that
you’ll really appreciate the results once you get there.
3The bad fat. Plastic surgery does not get rid of the dangerous
visceral fat that sticks around the organs. This type of fat can
lead to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. If you think that
after going under the knife, you’re going to become a “healthier”
version of yourself, think again. Once again everything leads back
to diet and exercise. No quick fix, but one that will help you live
healthier, stronger, and longer.
4Undesired results. This kind of goes along with the regret I
mentioned above, but I can honestly say most of my clients
that had various procedures are truly unhappy with the outcome
for one reason or another. Dimpled bellies, drooping derriere
implants, infected areas, boxy shapes, the list goes on. Most looks
that the average client is after ARE attainable through eating clean

and the right exercises. You might never have a booty like Kim Kardashian,
but do you really want one? If so, then do what makes you
happy, but know the results are not always as promised and you
should to be prepared to deal with that possibility.
Hopefully reading this article has given you a few points to consider
before committing to surgery. Ultimately doing what makes
you happiest is what is most important. Being informed and doing
research will ensure you make the best decision for you!
