Bridalplasty: Timing is Everything
Whether a Bride or Mother-of the-Bride, my advice is the same. I do not recommend having surgery right before an important event. Recovery from surgery takes time and the added stress of a big social event around the corner is unnecessary and unwise. I also strongly discourage patients from considering more than one procedure at a time. Having multiple surgeries carries the risk of added complications, which I discussed in my summer post about Heidi Montag’s 10 procedures. Reality shows often glamorize extreme cosmetic surgery being performed in unnatural circumstances and I believe network ratings and notoriety may take a backseat to patient safety. In a CBS interview, the E! presenters attempted to justify Bridalplasty and defend the possible exploitation of the brides. No doubt, the ratings rather than sound medical advice will decide if the show continues.
