Cosmetic Surgery Isn’t Something to Be Ashamed Of

June 5, 2016 SF Plastic Surgery

cosmetic surgeryWhy does so much controversy surround cosmetic surgery?

As a plastic surgeon I often wonder why cosmetic surgery has so much controversy surrounding it. Why are some of my patients embarrassed to seek a plastic surgeon’s help? Why are some of my patients ashamed to admit they have had cosmetic procedures? In trying to answer these mysteries surrounding my profession I stumbled upon a blog post called “Cosmetic Surgery Doesn’t Have to Be Shameful” A really great read, this manifesto of sorts by Kate Fridkis brings up some interesting points. Having undergone plastic surgery herself, Fridkis has grown tired of having people shame her for her decisions, or hear them quietly whisper about their own procedures as if cosmetic surgery should be some sort of “embarrassing and shameful secret.”

From a surgeon’s perspective, I learned a lot about the social pressures my patients may be facing. Fridkis’ description of society’s ridiculous hypocricy, people’s inability to mind their own business and even some people’s determination to push plastic surgery to be viewed as superficial. Here are a few of the points she makes in her piece that I found particularly worthy of mention:

The truth is, unless you’re telling them, most people won’t even realize you’ve had a cosmetic procedure done

Plastic surgery is extremely popular in many countries worldwide, including Fridkis’ home country Australia, and the USA. With so many people going under the knife, odds are, you probably know a number of people who have had work done and you don’t even know it.

No one should feel embarrassed or ashamed for doing what they think is best for them – including having plastic surgery.

Like it or not, we live in a culture where looks absolutely matter. Fridkis description of our ‘superficial’ culture is absolutely true. We  live in a world that “gossips endlessly about the way women look, and rags ceaselessly on the public women who don’t look ‘good enough”. So to put so much pressure on appearances, while at the same time knocking anyone for ‘maintaining’ themselves seems a bit hypocritical.

Cosmetic surgery can be empowering – uplifting – life altering.

Many plastic surgery patients feel empowered after their surgeries. Whatever change their procedure offers them also bring them comfort in their own skin, confidence that was once hidden, and maybe even perhaps a peace with their appearance and with themselves.

Labiaplasty and Butt Augmentation: The New Contenders on the Block

September 2, 2015 SF Plastic Surgery

Butt Augmentation

Keeping up with the latest trends: Labiaplasty & Butt Augmentation

Board certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Usha Rajagopal prides herself on staying current with the latest technological advances and growing trends in cosmetic surgery (like labiaplasty and butt augmentation procedures) . The San Francisco Bay Area is known to be a world-wide trend setter in anything from the latest fashions and menu items, to  the most groundbreaking apps and computer technologies. San Francisco based surgeons like Dr. Rajagopal help keep San Francisco ahead of the game in cosmetic plastic surgery trends as well.

Every year, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery collects and analyzes annual national statistics. These statistics tell us so much about changing trends in cosmetic surgery over time. Not only can we can see which procedures were most frequently performed, but we can find out which types of patients were having these procedures and in what parts of the country. Young, old, male, female, it’s all there. Statisticians have collected the data for 2013 and the results and growing trends may surprise you.

On February 25th, 2014 ASAPS issued a press release, previewing some surprising 2013 statistics. Your female friends, family members, or co-workers may be undergoing plastic surgery procedures that you haven’t even heard of. Labiaplasty & butt augmentation procedures are trending in the world of plastic surgery. But is this really a big surprise with more and more celebrities, like Kim Kardashian and Nikki Minaj, becoming famous for their infamously large rear ends?

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a popular method of butt augmentation done to produce a more youthful, bigger, and uplifted rounder buttock. Labiaplasty, (labioplasty), also known as labia reduction, vaginal lip reduction, or labia and vulvar rejuvenation, is a procedure to decrease the size and improve the appearance of enlarged, hypertrophic or asymmetrical labia minora.
