Wellness vs Plastic Surgery

People who had plastic surgery were at one time considered to be vain and self-absorbed and taking the ‘easy way out’. As these surgeries become more commonplace, people have discarded these short-sighted and judgmental views.

Then there were those who do believe that being beautiful is about getting fit and healthy - people could not truly appreciate their new beauty if they didn't have to work to get it.

These 2 ‘categories’ of people have been predominantly distinct, up until now.

Neither of these choices is completely true on their own. No reputable surgeon will encourage his patient to forgo a healthy diet and exercise in favor of liposuction and body shaping procedures.

Your surgeon knows he cannot remove 10 years or 10 kilos off you overnight without you changing your dietary, fitness and lifestyle habits.  Exercise and diet, along with other healthy lifestyle choices, serve not only to shape the body aesthetically, but to contribute to the overall health and well-being that every doctor wants for his or her patients.

Alongside this, those who were committed to a healthy lifestyle and diet now realise that there are still some areas that can only be helped with cosmetic procedures because even the best workout routine and healthiest diet can't do everything. And for those last few problems, cosmetic surgery can be a valuable tool to help people meet their goals as far as body image and appearance, and can provide additional motivation to maintain the healthy bodies they've worked so hard to attain.

The attitudes are now merged together, as people realise that plastic surgery procedures need to be combined with a healthy lifestyle for the best results, and people who have been on a healthy diet and exercise program realise that the only way for true anti-aging and to change body shape is with surgery.

A Marriage of Opposites - Wellness and Plastic Surgeries

There is now a new 3^rd category of people, those who embrace a Healthy Lifestyle together with Plastic Surgery.

In fact, what was once a choice either healthy lifestyle OR plastic surgery – is now both necessary to achieve long term better results than just one or the other.

Even if you are fit and healthy, surgery may still be required for tightening loose skin from weight loss or aging, bring the body into proportion or eliminating stubborn fat deposits. For a person who has put the effort required into losing weight and adopting a healthier lifestyle, such setbacks can be demoralizing. Including plastic surgery may be just the thing to help someone on the right track on the life-long maintenance of their new body.

If you have surgery, then you will definitely need to be on a healthy diet, fitness and supplements program to really give better recovery and healing, prevention of surgery risks and much better results than surgery alone.

While health should be the ultimate goal, there is no denying that the 'makeover' factor is a significant one. That is why Wellness and Plastic Surgery need to go hand in hand.

After significant consultations with our clients, we have created and now offer the “GG Wellness and Weight Loss Retreat” – the first time a Plastic Surgery company has offered a Wellness program simultaneously to promote the best health of clients.

Our goals which translate to your benefits are:

• Long term health, wellbeing and weight management
• Quicker, stress free recovery with reduced risks of complications from surgery
• Best results by working from the inside out, not just the outside in!

Our program is designed to give you a ‘kick start’ on the way to lifelong wellness and weight maintenance at your ideal weight. Although it will not provide you all the answers in just a few weeks, it is an excellent start to help you go through recovery from surgery better, and continue your wellness when you get back home. It is best to do the program before you do any plastic surgery so that your healing and recovery will be dramatically improved. You will be given necessary tools to continue the program while you are in recovery and maintain this when you return home; as health is never a short-term solution, you always need to aim to make healthy changes for life.

The GG Wellness and Weight Loss Retreat does not replace surgery if surgery is what you need: so expect to lose some kilos, but more importantly set you up on a long term track for healthy weight maintenance. For stubborn fat deposits, you may want to consider liposuction in addition to your fitness and healthy lifestyle. Time at the retreat does not trim or tighten your skin nor does it change your body shape – this can only be helped with surgery.

What it WILL help you to obtain is improved health, weight loss, energy and vitality. The retreat will put you on the path for weight maintenance, breaking any bad habits, such as cigarettes, binging and any other habits that sabotage your weight loss and optimum health.

Embarking on a wellness and weight loss program before your surgery is the optimal way to change not only your appearance, but also your inner health and wellbeing, so you will have a makeover – inside and out!
