Concerns About Looking Too Different Post Surgery?
A common question I receive on Instagram is: "I'm concerned that I will have too much of a change in my face and won't get used to it."
This is a valid concern, and it often arises when someone is considering multiple procedures at once. Here's some advice to navigate these feelings and make the best decision for your needs.
Prioritise and Start Small
Follow Your Heart
Start with the area that bothers you the most. There’s no need to overhaul your entire face at once. Addressing your primary concern first can help ease the transition and make the overall experience less overwhelming.
Take Your Time
Don’t rush into surgery. Consider why you feel the need for multiple changes and whether they are necessary. It's essential to be deliberate and thoughtful about each decision.
Seek Professional Advice
Consult a Surgeon
Talk to a qualified surgeon who can advise you on which areas will benefit you the most. They can help prioritize the procedures and suggest alternatives that might achieve your desired results without surgery.
Simulation and Non-Surgical Techniques
Before committing to surgery, explore non-surgical options. There are decent apps available for simulating changes in your appearance—avoid the ones with extreme filters. Consider using fillers as a temporary solution to see how changes might look.
Conclusion
If you’re worried about drastic changes to your face from plastic surgery, start with the most bothersome area and proceed gradually. Take your time to understand your motivations and explore non-surgical options first. Consulting with a professional can provide clarity and ensure you make informed decisions that you’ll be happy with.
