New You!" and "Five Minutes a Day to a Better Body!!!" - you know you've seen those articles, all timed to pounce on universal post-holiday regrets.
Some of the inspiration comes from a drawing class I'm taking in figure representation (yes, all plastic surgeons are secretly tortured artists), and of course, all of those folks I've met who bashfully or boldly ask what a female plastic surgeon like myself can do for their post-holiday bods.
So I'll try to devote some of 2010's upcoming Fridays to posts about some of the most common "fixes" that plastic surgeons offer for those looking to improve their figures.
And it's not just about that little five-pound holiday indiscretion. We're talking about people who have lost significant amounts of weight with medical or surgical assistance or just plain old sweat and tears, and are now stuck with stubborn flaps and rolls of skin disguising their new healthy selves. We're also talking about moms who have seen their bodies undergo the most amazing changes to accommodate a beautiful new being, but once that little human is introduced to the world, their bodies don't exactly snap back to the previous model.
So stay tuned - the Friday Figure Fix will be a fresh and exciting way to learn a little more about this part of the world of plastic surgery!
