It's not a question that comes up a lot in the world of Beverly Hills plastic surgery, but have you ever stopped to think about which of your senses you value the most, personally?
Among our five senses, the red headed stepchild almost has to be our sense of smell. If we lose our ability to see or hear, we consider it an enormous loss. Most people probably can't even comprehend the enormity of losing their sense of touch. Taste of course, is a huge personal favorite because we all love to eat and drink delicious things.
But then we have taste's close relative, smell, and we suddenly find ourselves a bit blase on the subject -- even if a huge percentage of what we perceive as taste is actually primarily smell. While we hear patients' concerns about all sorts of matters, you'd be surprised how little board certified plastic surgeons hear about patients having any concern regarding their sense of smell.
Even so, smell is a big part of the beauty of the world. Just try walking outside on a residential area on a summer night here in the Los Angeles area and you'll suddenly get a whiff of fresh jasmine. It's so beautiful as to be almost intoxicating. Or go to your favorite restaurant -- double points if it's place that goes heavy on the garlic.
In other words, it's great to treasure the work done by your eyes, ears, skin, and tongue -- but maybe give your nose a little credit too, okay?
