Adolescents Who Are Involved in Bullying Are Interested in Cosmetic Surgery
Not everyone has the same reason for choosing to undergo plastic surgery. Lubbock’s highly rated doctor, Dr. Jane Rowley, wants her patients to decide on the procedure that will improve their self-confidence, and also make sense for their lifestyle. She wants her patients to choose plastic surgery for themselves, and not to please other people.
What the Research Says
A recent study published in the May 2017 issue of “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” found a link between preteens and teens who were involved in bullying and a greater desire for plastic surgery. A group of 750 kids, from 11 to 16 years old, were asked by researchers if they would want plastic surgery to appear different or to alter their physical appearance in some way.
Victimized by Bullying
Those who were victims of bullying were more likely to say they had thought about plastic surgery or considered it as an option than those who were not bullied. Some of these victims felt that if they changed their physical appearance in some way, then the bullying might stop. Those who were bullied were also shown to have reduced psychological functioning.
The Bullies
Within the group that was studied, the bullies themselves also said they had thought about plastic surgery. According to the research, this may be because, “. . . for bullies, “cosmetic surgery may simply be another tactic to increase social status…to look good and achieve dominance.”
What This Means for YOU
Other studies performed in the past have reported that about half of adults who want plastic surgery have been bullied in the past. This current article sheds light on the fact that sometimes that desire to change is present at a much younger age, and especially around the time a kid is bullied. If you’re considering plastic surgery, it’s important to do it for the right reasons. Because YOU want the procedure. Not because someone made you feel bad in the past about some aspect of your physical appearance. You can put your trust in the experts at Rowley Plastic Surgery. Lubbock patients consistently choose Dr. Rowley as their board certified plastic surgeon. Before making any final decisions, Dr. Rowley will have a thorough consultation with you to determine the reasons why you are wanting plastic surgery, explain the procedure and expected results. Lubbock’s Dr. Rowley dedicates her time and attention to making sure you are comfortable with your body and have realistic expectations about your life post-plastic surgery.

More Women are Choosing to Change Their Breast Implants: Breast Explant Options
Many women choose to get breast implants because they want a fuller, curvier figure. In fact, The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that more than 290,000 women got breast implants in 2016. But a lot of these same patients are finding that down the road they want to go back to a more natural size and breast shape. An explant and new implants are where you either change the size, shape, and material of your implants or take them out entirely.
Reasons for an Explant
Back Pain
Some women experience back problems after having their breast implants in for several years. As your body ages, you are naturally going to have more aches and pains, and sometimes breast implants can aggravate that pain. Reducing the size of your implants is an option for you.
A More Natural Look
Other women find that they want a more natural look as they age, instead of the busty look they craved when they were younger. Breasts do change as you age, even if you have breast implants. Your implants may not look the same as they did when you first had them put in.
Fear of Ruptures
Breast implants don’t rupture as much as they used to because the designs have improved over the years. However, some patients still worry that their silicone implants will rupture or leak, and they won’t detect that leak early enough. Instead of spending so much energy stressing about it, some women chose to have an explant so they can reduce their fears and replace silicone-filled implants with saline ones. The FDA released an Update on the Safety of Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants in June 2011 where they stated that 1 in 5 women who chose to have breast implants for cosmetic reasons got them taken out within 10 years.
Whether you’re thinking about having breast implants or mulling over getting an explant, pick a plastic surgeon you can trust. Dr. Jane Rowley in Lubbock has years of experience in plastic surgery and can help you make the best decision for your body and lifestyle. Dr. Rowley’s patients rave about her because she dedicates her time and attention to making each patient feel comfortable with their ultimate decision. Schedule a no-obligation consultation today.
Before undergoing any surgical procedure, you should prepare your body and your mind as much as you can. Proper preparation will help you feel less stressed and have realistic expectations of what your body can handle post-surgery. It’s important to remember that plastic surgery is surgery, so take the proper steps to get yourself ready for your procedure. One of the most popular procedures at Rowley Plastic Surgery in Lubbock is a breast augmentation. Here are some tips on what to do before surgery.
Have a Healthy Lifestyle
The more physically healthy you are, the easier it will be for your body to bounce back in recovery after surgery. Your plastic surgeon should perform a physical exam before surgery to make sure your body is functioning as it should, so give your body a leg up by practicing healthy eating habits and getting daily exercise. If you smoke, your plastic surgeon will probably ask you to quit smoking six weeks before surgery to promote better healing.
Get A Mammogram
Though not all doctors require a mammogram before surgery, it is a good idea to get one to check that there are no signs of cancer or irregularities in the breast tissue. A mammogram can show changes in the breast up to two years before a patient or physician can detect them. Some plastic surgeons will also ask you to get a mammogram a few months after surgery as well to make sure everything is normal.
Arrange for Help After Your Breast Augmentation
A breast augmentation surgery takes about an hour, but since anesthesia is involved, you will need someone to pick you up after surgery. For the first night especially, have a friend or relative stay with you to help ease your recovery process.
Patients who seek a breast augmentation consistently choose Dr. Jane Rowley in Lubbock to help them achieve the look they want. Dr. Rowley offers a no-obligation consultation where she can discuss every step of the procedure with you, your options with implants, and realistic expectations of the procedure.
