Cosmetic Surgery Solved

It goes without saying that couples want to look their very best on their wedding day. For this reason extreme makeovers are becoming an increasingly popular choice for both the Bride and Groom.

With the cost of weddings increasing to the £20,000 mark, many consider the additional fee for cosmetic surgery an investment in the future. After all, the changes that are made will last beyond the wedding day itself.

Cosmetic surgery is a long term change, the decision to alter your body in any way should not be taken lightly. Make sure that you take the time to fully consider the implications and your reasons for opting for the surgery, before you proceed.

Do your research, ensure that the company carrying out the procedure is reputable. Cosmetic surgery despite the sugar coated name is still fundamentally a medical procedure. You need to be 100% sure that your practitioner is a professional. After you have checked for licences, the key to success is to ensure that you allow ample time for the procedure and recovery. You can make a problem area worse by trying to rush your way through the process. The type of procedure you choose will dictate the recovery time.

Here are some guidelines for the most popular procedures.

Teeth Whitening - This restores teeth to their former pearly white. It is ideal for smokers or those partial to a little red wine or black coffee. It is a fairly straight forward procedure, that can be carried out by a reputable dentist or cosmetic dental surgery. There is a small recovery period in which you should avoid the previously mentioned offenders, along with any recommendations from your practitioner.

Recovery time: 3-4 weeks

Botox - Perhaps best known for helping to get rid of frown lines and premature wrinkles. However it is also a very good way to stop sweating. Nervous brides and grooms often have their underarms injected, to avoid tell tale sweat stains. It does leave the area injected bruised and swollen and you will need to allow plenty of time for this to subside. Additional time should be added in case you need re-injection. Recovery time: 2-3 months

Facelift - This removes excess skin fat and muscle from the face. Facelifts can tighten your whole face, or just the area around your eyelids, lower face and neck. Your cosmetic surgeon should suggest the type of facelift best suited for your needs. If you are considering this option, remember that this is an invasive surgery. It will require you to take time off work.

Recovery time: 6 months

Breast Enhancements - Anyone who has ever heard the name Jordan or Katie Price, will be all too familiar with this type of procedure. It is used to enlarge and lift the breast. It's opposite, the breast reduction, makes the cup size smaller for those a little too well blessed in this area.

Recovery time: 6 months

Laser Therapy - Perfect for those wanting to destroy all evidence of a mispent youth. This treatment removes scars, tattoos, acne and burns. Whilst it is not an invasive treatment it is not to be taken lightly due to the strength of the lasers used by the professionals.

Recovery time: 1 year

Body Contouring - Not for the faint hearted, this a highly invasive surgery. It removes the excess fat and skin from the areas we would rather it hadn't settled in the first place. It includes procedures such as tummy tucks and body lifts. Recovery time: 1 year

Liposuction - Removes fat from the abdomen, hips, buttocks, back, thighs, knees, calves, ankles, upper arms, neck, under the cheeks or lower jaw. This will cause bruising despite the best efforts of your surgeon. If it is a drastic change you may also require body contouring to remove any excess skin post operation.

Recovery time: 1 year

As with every medical procedure the length of recovery time differs from individual to individual. Before you decide to go ahead with any treatment, speak with the team from your chosen cosmetic surgery.
