How much Body Surgery do you need?

Which Body Lift surgery is most important to you?

Spend time really looking at your body, try on different outfits, different styles. Do they flatter your shape?  How do you feel??

Be honest with yourself. How do you really feel!! It is very easy to slip into the old ways of ‘putting a brave face on’ brushing off your needs. This is about you and nobody else this is not a time to think of other’s needs, this is where you need to be honest and promote your needs.

Rather than feeling negative, think positively. Find something that you are happy with focus on that now think if there was one thing, I would like to improve what would it be and how easy would it be to achieve?

Which Body Lift surgery is the highest priority for you?

Ask yourself the money question – if I had the money available to invest in me – what ONE thing would I change and why.

You may think – many things. But think of that one thing that would really enhance your life allowing you to connect with life perhaps feeling great about going to the pool, a holiday, family occasion, wearing short sleeve tops, trousers that fit both your waist and thighs, perhaps breasts that sit where they are supposed to be.

Many areas might benefit from surgery but what one thing would mean the most to you?

Take your time there is no rush, make sure you are clear in what you need to achieve. It is Ok to seek a consult and spend time reviewing your options. A skilled surgeon can offer lots of options but is important to find a surgeon who really connects with you and supports the vision that you are aiming to achieve.
