Look good, feel good, right? Turns out, there’s more to plastic surgery than being thinner, having a Kim K. booty, or getting bigger boobs. Underneath that physical appearance, there’s always a mental and emotional motivation. Some people have tried for years to work off a belly or stubborn saddle-bags. Even those folks doing Iron Man marathons have love-handles no exercise will get rid of. And those people are in serious good shape. Others have worked extremely hard and that extra skin won’t tighten itself. So, Dr. David Berman of Berman Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Care Center makes sure patients are doing procedures for the right reasons. For example, it was clear that one woman was perfectly fine with her breasts. And yet, still insisted she wanted to up her cup size. As Dr. Berman dug a little deeper, it turns out the woman’s husband was having an affair with his secretary. Oh Damn. Needless to say, she didn’t get new boobs (I sure hope she got a new man, though). Dr. Berman couldn’t perform the procedure knowing that was why. Taking the time to get to know a patient’s motivation is one of Dr. Berman’s superpowers as a plastic surgeon. He also emphasizes that here’s no magic or quick fix in any of the procedures he performs. It’s a partnership that requires hard work from the patient – eating well, exercising, etc. That SmartLipo will only work as hard as you do.
