A Few Beauty Resolutions for 2013

It's almost New Year's and so it's time to look forward to a few of the things we can all do better when it comes to making ourselves, and our world, a bit more beautiful in 2013. After all, You don't have to be an actor, model or even one of us board certified plastic surgeons to be concerned with beauty. We all want to look our best and, yes, there is also a kind of beauty in the world that's more than skin deep.

Anyhow, here are three resolutions we'd like to propose for, well, everyone.

1. Focus on our health. In our opinion, there's nothing more attractive than simple good health. Yes, it's easy to focus on the allure of a well toned body or a healthy looking complexion, but beauty that's achieved while focusing as much -- or more -- on health than your idea of objective beauty tends to have the best results. The best plastic surgeons in the world can't recreate the simple glow of good health.

2. Try to make your world more beautiful. Beauty is catching, in our opinion. Sprucing up your home or office will make you feel better about your surroundings and, voila, you'll be more attractive. Even top plastic surgeons occasionally find themselves stuck in less than gorgeous surrounding. Of course, as surgeons, we have to work in clinical surroundings but there's always a way to beautify any space, and it's worth it.

3. Know that beauty is all around you. It's true. Everywhere you go, there's something beautiful right around you. Sure, there are many places that are the furthest of cries from the Taj Mahal, but we bet if you look hard enough there's something -- or someone at least -- very beautiful right there. At the very least, you'll have fun trying to find beauty at the laundromat or the DMV.

Have a great 2013, everyone.

A Real Plastic Surgery Good News Story

Easily one of the very best things about living in the Internet age is the easy access we all have to sometimes very specialized news from around the globe. As board certified plastic surgeons, we are obviously especially interested in stories about our specialty, wherever it is practiced. Just now, we were fortunate  to stumble over a fascinating and encouraging story about plastic surgery from today's Hindustan Times about a place we're not very used to hearing many upbeat stories about: Afghanistan.

Despite many of the issues our U.S. forces, face in that historically crucial nation, its apparent that, on a personal level, some progress is being made there. A few years ago, the nation's best plastic surgeons were focusing mainly on correcting the horrifying disfigurements that can result from warfare. Even more horrifying in many ways, they were also large focused on correcting the results of self-harm from severely depressed Afghani women and domestic violence, including the acid attacks which can be so hard for Westerners to understand.

The extremely positive trend is that, at least in the nation's capital of Kabul, it now appears Afghanistan's top plastic surgeons are now largely focusing on the same issues top plastic surgeons here in L.A. focus on: rhinoplasty, face lifts, tummy tucks, and all the rest.

Part of the reason appears to be that U.S. involvement in the nation has finally resulted in the nation developing a more vibrant middle class. However, in this holiday season, it would also be nice to think it's a sign of a greater level of peace. People in wartime tend to focus on survival issues and not too much else. When we have time to contemplate improvements to the shape of our noses of how we'd like to get rid of some wrinkles or bags under our eyes, that's a sign that we've mostly got the life-and-stuff settled.
