We Ask Who Had Work Done, You Decide

A fun slide show in today's Daily Caller had us thinking.

No doubt many political pundits would think it was height of shallowness to discuss which presidential and vice presidential candidates and their wives have had cosmetic procedures, and considering the serious issues at stake in this year's race, it's hard to argue with that. On the other hand, even top board certified plastic surgeons chat among themselves about politicians as well as show business celebrities when it comes to the topic of who had work done and who, well, should have work done.

The truth of the matter is that the traditional divide between entertainers and politicians has grown thinner and thinner over the centuries and decades and the evidence may be right before us when it comes to cosmetic procedures. Certainly, those of us old to remember the way Joe Biden looked in the 1980s don't need to be top plastic surgeons to be pretty darn confident about the likelihood of his hair plugs.

The president's ears can actually be almost painful for us to look at, because we know how easy it would have been for him to receive ear pinning surgery back when he was still little Barry Obama. If Mrs. Obama has had any work done at all, on the other hand, it's clearly been from one of the very best plastic surgeons out there, because it's hard to think of a thing we'd change there.

As for Governor and Mrs. Romney, they look downright amazing for a couple in their sixties. How much is genetics and healthy living? Probably quite a lot. On the other hand, considering the political atmosphere these days, we certainly wouldn't blame them if they gave mother nature a small surgical helping hand.

Patients Love to See Before and After Pictures

The board certified plastic surgeons of We Know Beauty have learned plenty about human behavior in their decades upon decades of experience with plastic and reconstructive surgery. One example is that people who are weighing having a cosmetic procedure love to see before and after photos of the procedure that they're considering. These pictures are informative—showcasing a doctor's skill and the power of plastic surgery—and they also stir the imagination.

More relevant pictures than what are shown on the We Know Beauty website can be shown at a complimentary consultation. This, as well as other details of the procedure, can be openly and compassionately discussed and a potential patient will leave the consultation feeling fully informed.

After all, meeting with one of the top plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills is simpler than ever with We Know Beauty. Many call one of our representatives at 800-832-0510 and schedule a complimentary consultation. Others who may be a bit shy or reticent opt for our online appointment request form. It's an easy-to-use form that allows the current or new patient to easy schedule a meeting, including location, date, and time.

Whichever option an interested patient chooses, the best plastic surgeons in Los Angeles at We Know Beauty are incredibly approachable and available to meet at one of many locations: Beverly Hills, Encino, Inland Empire, Pasadena, Valencia, and Thousand Oaks.

Doral Surgery: Spring for a Great Doctor!


Spring for a great doctor, like the board certified plastic surgeons at We Know Beauty, or the results could be terrible.

ABC News and its affiliates do some good reporting about bad cosmetic surgery these days. It makes us wonder sometimes if a high-ranking journalist didn’t get burned by an unlicensed or disreputable surgeon. Earlier this year they reported on California’s statewide crackdown on medispas that get away with operating without a licensed doctor.
Now their Miami affiliate has released a rather harrowing photo showing just how bad this mistake can be. If you’re like us, you prefer to look at more pleasant before and after photos from top plastic surgeons, not "surgical disasters" so if you’d like to see this photo, you’ll have to do a search.

Isabel Gonzalaez paid about $900 to get facial injections from a business called “Viviana's Body Secrets,” in Doral, FLA.  The owner, however, was an unlicensed massage therapist, allegedly not in any way certified to give facial injections. Poor Isabel spent two months in the hospital when swelling and infections set in. She may never be the same.

“There's a misperception that it's like getting your hair done," said ASAPS president Dr. Leo R. McCafferty. But he goes on to emphasize that plastic surgery is inherently safe when the doctors and the facilities are top notch.

At We Know Beauty, you can trust that your procedures are being done by some of the best plastic surgeons working today. Don't take a risk when the consequences can be this dire.

The Ultimate Personal Decision

We recently posted on our Facebook page about an article at the celebrity news site Radar on a number of world famous celebrities who are openly contemplating -- or openly not contemplating -- cosmetic surgery. While lots of people enjoy dishing on who they think could use a bit of work and who really should leave well enough alone, it's important to remember that this kind of talk might be fun and mostly harmless, but it's basically just talk.

Whether the topic is a facelift, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, blephoraplasty, a tummy tuck, or what have you, the decision to have plastic surgery is an intensely personal one. While of course anyone considering this move should consult with the best board certified plastic surgeons they can find, ultimately it's a matter of how you - not anyone else - feels about your face and/or body that's important.

Confidence is so very crucial to human interaction, that improving upon some aspect of ourselves that simply does not look right to us can make a crucial difference in far more areas than most of us realize. It's goes well beyond our personal and romantic lives, it can impact our working relationships, family matters, and just about anything else you can think. The important thing is that people consult the best plastic surgeons they can find so they understand exactly what they can expect in terms of results, recovery periods, and other crucial matters.

If anyone reading has had experiences making this decision they'd like to share, feel free to post about it -- anonymously if you'd like, of course. We'd love to hear from you.
