Cosmetic Surgery: See Yourself in a New Light
Luciana
Being a tall, beautiful Brazilian woman, Luciana (pictured), felt her body was not proportional. Always dreaming of having breast augmentation, she was determined to find the right doctor. "I had been doing extensive research about the procedure a few months prior to my surgery," says Luciana. "I called several doctors, talked to their assistants and also visited dozens of cosmetic surgery related websites." Still unsatisfied, she asked her personal physician during her yearly physical. When she saw her doctor he referred her to Dr. Faires. "I had the best references about Dr. Faires, his professionalism, dynamism, and experience," Luciana explains. "As soon as I visited the website, I had the perception of his dedication, assurance, and passion about his work." Once she consulted with Dr. Faires, she knew she had found her doctor. "Along with being highly recommended, I immediately knew he was the one I wanted to perform my surgery," exclaims Luciana, "which was reassured in my office visit. Dr. Faires demonstrated impressive skill, brilliance and amazing confidence. My decision was made on the spot!"
With all cosmetic surgery comes concerns and apprehension. One of Luciana's was the incision and how the scar would look. "I can say with confidence that it has not been three months yet and the incision is virtually invisible," Luciana beams. After surgery, Luciana feels she has accomplished her goal, "I feel different, I always wanted to look more proportional and I feel much more confident now," Luciana explains. "I wanted to look more feminine, sexier, and to have my features enhanced. I remember the first time I looked at myself in the mirror after surgery—it just felt so right. I am loving every minute of it."
Luciana's experience and results make her want to shout from the rooftops. "Dr. Faires has a wonderful staff, very kind, accommodating and extremely personable," Luciana goes on to say. "I would definitely recommend Dr. Faires and his office staff to anyone who has the higher expectations regarding cosmetic surgery and wishes to expand their objectives in life." She feels her experience was rewarding and she couldn't be happier. "I feel extremely blessed Dr. Faires was put on my path to something so significant, and for which excellence is expected," Luciana exclaims. "Dr. Faires is definitely one of my heroes!"
Lori
Like all of us who want to lose weight, Lori (pictured) decided to go on a diet. Once she accomplished what she set out to do, not only did she lose weight, she lost cup sizes too. Many times when women lose weight, the first place they lose it is in their breasts. After going from a medium 'C' to a small 'B', Lori decided to have a breast augmentation to get back what she lost.
Lori's best friend previously had a breast augmentation by Dr. Faires and recommended Lori consult with him. "Her breasts look natural and totally beautiful," says Lori about her best friend. "She raved about his staff and how helpful everyone was." Since having cosmetic surgery is a huge decision, Lori exclaims it was "very important!" that she was referred by a previous patient. "Initially I planned on visiting other doctors, but after meeting Dr. Faires and his staff, I knew they fit me and my personality," Lori explains. "I didn't need to meet with anyone else. I was completely comfortable and confident with my decision."
During the breast augmentation consultation process, Dr. Faires uses implant sizers to help patients see what they will look like after surgery. "My main concern was going too big or too small. I was extremely worried about whether or not I chose the correct size." Because Dr. Faires has 24 years of experience, he has the ability to know what size fits your body best. It is always a great idea to bring someone with you to your consult for extra support. "My mom was with me when I tried on sizers; I was very happy to hear her opinion about the size I was thinking about," says Lori. "Having her help me make the decision was wonderful!"
A year later Lori is very satisfied with the decision she made to have plastic surgery. "I have bragged to everyone that will listen," says Lori. "Everyone that mentions plastic surgery hears about how great Dr. Faires and his staff are."
Lael
As a young adult making decisions that are life changing, people may look at you as if you don't have all the answers. When Lael (pictured) decided as a 20 year-old woman to seek out plastic surgeons for a breast augmentation, that is the reaction she expected. Once consulting with Dr. Faires and meeting his staff, she was very pleased to be given the respect of an adult. "Dr. Faires and his staff made me so comfortable and were always nice even though I am a younger patient," explains Lael. "They treated me as an adult and didn't blow me off just because I was a younger patient. I appreciated that!"
Many times plastic surgery is done to improve appearance, and to boost self esteem. "My main goal for doing surgery was to feel better about myself," says Lael, "raise my self esteem and look like a woman in clothes and not a young girl." After having a breast augmentation, "my self esteem has completely changed." Lael wanted to achieve this goal without looking disproportionate. "My main concern was that they would not look natural," Lael explains, "that was something that I really wanted." Lael goes on to say, "I expressed that with Dr. Faires and he assured me he would make them the way I wanted and he did! My chest looks very natural and most people are unaware that I have had an augmentation."
We strongly encourage patients to research more than one doctor for any cosmetic procedure. Often times patients find they meet the perfect surgeon for them at the first consultation. "I looked at two other doctors before Dr. Faires," Lael says, " but I cancelled my other consultations when I met Dr. Faires." Sometimes you feel an instant connection or your instinct from the first impression ensures your decision. "I loved his nurse and staff and he really listened to what I wanted and actually explained to me how he would achieve the look I wanted." Lael also notes, "his credentials also helped make my choice."
Being financially ready to proceed with plastic surgery may not always be easy. At Faires Plastic Surgery, financing is available through two different companies. "I used CareCredit ," exclaims Lael, "and I want to thank you for accepting the program because it is so helpful!" Both programs are accessible from our website as well as over the phone. You no longer have to wait to save, you can now make low monthly payments for immediate results.
Jenn
As the mother of a 9-year-old son, Jennifer didn’t feel old and certainly didn’t want to look it. Enhancing her shape through cosmetic surgery has allowed Jenn to go through each day knowing that she looks her absolute best. Just in time for swimsuit season, Jenn can rest assured that her figure is just how she wants it. Feeling good in a bikini is just one of the benefits cosmetic surgery can bring.
Jenn has discovered that being confident in her appearance paves the way for more confidence in her everyday life. “More than just feeling good on the outside,” says Jenn, “cosmetic surgery has contributed to positive changes in all areas of my life.” Whether she’s taking her son to school or running errands, Jenn always knows she looks good.
The decision to get cosmetic surgery has enabled Jenn and many other mothers to spend more energy on their kids and less time on trying to maintain their appearance. It’s just one less thing to think about.
Jenn chose Dr. Faires not only because of his credentials and experience but because of the way he addressed her questions and concerns. “I knew that Dr. Faires was genuinely interested in helping create what I wanted, and he was highly involved throughout the entire process.”
The Faires Plastic Surgery team is dedicated to working closely together to create your desired look, as your ideal becomes ours.
Julia
Levi’s jeans. Maybe easy enough for guys, but most women don’t just slip into Levis. “Levi’s seem to demand slim legs and a tiny rear end,” says Julia a mother of two. “I’ve never in my life been able to wear them. The hips are straight and the rear is small. Mr. Levi, I think, built them for guys.”
Looking better in jeans and clothes was one reason Julia decided to look into cosmetic surgery. Another was the frustration of endless hours at the gym that didn’t seem to produce the bottom line results she was working toward. “If you’re going to be short, you might as well be petite. When I realized that I didn’t have the time, dedication or the desire to be forever in a gym and still not get the results I was looking for, I knew it was time to see Dr. Faires.” Julia said that about a year before the surgery she became steadfast in working out regularly and eating healthy foods. She was able to lose the weight that she wanted to, but the curves she was hoping for as a result never materialized.
Julia said that since many of her friends had gone to Dr. Faires for various procedures and had been pleased with their results, choosing her cosmetic surgeon was the easy part. “When I met with him, Dr. Faires was very easy to talk to and offered me realistic ideas of what to expect. They also had someone on staff that I could call with questions 24 hours a day which made me feel more at ease throughout the process.” After weighing out her options, she decided to go ahead and have liposuction along with a breast augmentation.
“When I came out of surgery, I was pleasantly surprised at the results. I couldn’t believe the dramatic difference in the size of my legs. As to my breast augmentation, I have always been really small. I feel much better in clothes.“
Julia mentions that now, she is much happier with how she looks. “You go from a size six to a size zero and you’re going to feel good about yourself,” she asserts. “I was very, very pleased with the overall success of the procedure.”
Back to Levi’s – the measure of success. Says Julia, “I was able to go out and buy my first pair of Levi’s button up jeans. When I tried them on, all I could say was ‘yes!’”
Julie
Owning your own business takes personal drive, dedication and above all, a lot of energy and an upbeat attitude. Julie knows that from first hand experience. She and her husband founded a software company in Granbury, Texas, which over the years has grown to over 30 employees. “In business, just as in your personal life, when you feel good about yourself you beam a positive attitude,” she says. “And that makes for better business relationships.”
Over the years, Julie felt that having children had taken a toll on her figure. She was still confident and upbeat, but something was missing, she thought. She decided to visit with a cosmetic surgeon to explore some options. “I had a friend who had used Dr. Faires and was pleased with the results she remembers. My personal physician also recommended Dr. Faires to me so I felt comfortable with my choice. He had impressive professional credentials that backed up my intuition.”
During her visit, Julie notes that Dr. Faires offered realistic expectations. “He told me what my options were and how those procedures would be done. Best of all, I liked his approach to cosmetic surgery. He doesn’t overdo any aspect causing unnecessary attention to any one feature. His approach is to make you look younger in a very natural way.”
Ultimately, Julie feels the cosmetic surgery has enhanced her confidence back in the workplace. “Before, I had to plan my wardrobe according to different situations. I could only wear certain shirts and pants. Now, I don’t have to hide anything. I can wear whatever I want in my closet.”
