As the temperature climbs and summer inches closer, the quest to get a “beach ready” body is in full force, especially in Southern California.

Usually beginning in spring, women become increasingly conscious of their body shape, looking for ways to shed pounds and get a better-contoured physique. Many women often opt to undergo a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in order to achieve their desired appearance before beach season officially starts.

At the Orange County practice of Robert M. Wald, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S., The Aesthetic Institute, patients who have exhausted the natural means of weight loss – regular exercise and healthy diet – inquire about body altering procedures. The most common of these include liposuction and tummy tuck surgery. Liposuction is designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body that do no respond to diet and exercise. This procedure can be performed on various areas of the body, including the neck, arms, abdomen, hips, lower back, and thighs. When undergoing one of the various methods of liposuction surgery, patients can achieve a more sculpted and toned body shape. In addition, when combined with tummy tuck surgery, patients can rid their midsection of loose, excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles. Both procedures require a three to four week recovery time, making early spring an ideal time to undergo these surgeries. However, it is best to undergo these surgeries well before summer arrives since they each require a lengthy recovery period.

Along with gaining a flat, sculpted abdomen, many women with small breasts often wish they had larger, more voluminous breasts. To achieve this, Dr. Wald offers breast augmentation surgery with the option of either saline or silicone gel breast implants. By placing breast implants either above or beneath the chest muscle, Dr. Wald can help patients add volume and enhance breast shape. Furthermore, women who have sagging in the breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding may also wish to learn more regarding breast lift surgery. The combination of a lift and augmentation can help women regain a youthful appearance.

Regardless of the procedure(s) a patient undergoes, it is important to carefully and thoroughly research the surgery and plastic surgeon. If cost is an issue, there are various financing options available; however, because the pressure to be beach ready is on, some patients may commit to surgery based solely on price. Although cosmetic plastic surgery is an elective surgery, it is still an invasive process that should be taken seriously.

Those who would like to learn more regarding breast and body enhancing procedures may contact Dr. Wald at his Fullerton practice.

Celebrity plastic surgery is a common practice.  When you’re constantly in the public eye you always want to look your best; and while the rest of the nation is looking to quickly shed those winter pounds to get ready for Summer, Hollywood is following in suit.  However, while most people are following crash diets and counting calories, celebrities are seeking plastic surgery to quickly firm up their bodies in time for summer.

Renowned Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon and Dr. 90210 star Dr. Robert Rey recently revealed to StyleList that post award plastic surgery season is in full swing. “Having surgery in March or April will give celebrities the chance to be healed for bikini season,” says Dr. Rey. “We’re seeing more celebrities wanting breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tucks, and fat transfer to the buttocks right now.”

But while celebrities continue to set the trends for fashion, style, and beauty, Dr. Rey is also quick to criticize their decision to undergo extreme cosmetic changes with the aid of plastic surgery.  In a recent interview with Playboy Radio, Dr. Rey expressed his concerns about the message that is conveyed to young girls when celebrities undergo excessive plastic surgery; in particular the recent surgeries performed on reality TV star Heidi Montag.

“What message is she telegraphing to young girls?” he asked.”If you want to shave your chin a little bit, that’s fine,” he went on. “But multiple operations on a girl who’s already drop dead gorgeous…”

A summer approaches we are sure to see renewed and revitalized celebrity bodies gracing the covers of magazines on our newsstands and on our favorite entertainment television shows.  And while celebrities are shedding pounds thanks to the artistry of surgeons like Dr. Robert Rey, the rest of us will be counting calories and hitting the gym in hopes of getting those summer bodies in shape in time for summer.
