How to Adjust to Your New Plastic Surgery Look
Plastic surgery can be a very fulfilling time in one’s life, a chance that allows you to create a new start for yourself with a new look that erases complexes and increases self-confidence. And while many people will tell you just how much of a positive impact plastic surgery can have on your life, not many people will tell you how to adjust to this new change. What happens when everything is over and healed and you take a first look in the mirror of your new self? Do you know how to react to this change? Are you prepared enough for it to embrace it at that very moment? Not likely. So here are some things that you should take into account after having plastic surgery, and perhaps some valuable advice on how to handle and embrace this new chapter in your life.
ADJUST TO THE NEW FEELINGS
Regardless of how small or big your procedure was, the area of your body that was changed will feel different. There is no denying this. It doesn’t depend on whether the procedure was done by a professional or not but simply by the fact that the part of your body that was changed will now not only look different but will also feel like a new part of your body. This is particularly true for more extreme procedures like breast implants, but is also evident in smaller procedures as well. It may feel tighter, heavier or produce new sensations. This is not a bad thing of course, but it is something that will take a little time to get used to.
Do not try to instantly become comfortable with this new change by buying all new clothes and creating a whole new lifestyle for yourself. You must first become emotionally connected to this now improved part of your body and welcome it as your own. Many professionals suggest that meditation techniques can greatly help with this, but if you don’t want to go as far as serious meditations, just take a few moments every day to calm yourself and to focus all of your attention on this particular area. Focus on how it feels when you move your body slowly, how it feels when you don’t move at all, and how it feels when you run. This may not seem like something that people would be expected to do after plastic surgery, but it will definitely help you to get used to the change in a much shorter period of time. At this point, the way you feel about this new change is actually more important than the way it looks. You need to become physically comfortable with it before you can enjoy it on an aesthetic level. It must become so natural that you eventually reach a point where you no longer remember how you felt before you had this change done.
