Dr. Angela is back today to talk about what she thinks is the perfect holiday gift!
How do you ask for what you REALLY want for the holidays?
Opening a present with something beautiful inside is a great feeling. The purse you’ve been eyeing, a piece of jewelry you never expected, the shoes you didn’t have the guts to buy…When you see it in your hands, your heart starts racing, your body heats up, and you’re overwhelmed with happiness. At some point you’ve asked for these things and they’re easy for someone else to give. But, the one thing you really want, the one thing that would give you that same satisfaction every day, is not. Beauty, in your own eyes, is something personal and paramount to your happiness. I believe if the people who love you knew how much a change in your appearance would make you happy, they would gladly give you the means to do it. Giving the gift of confidence is something that will shine year round and won’t go out of style next season.
To come at it from a man’s perspective, an enhancement is a solid investment: long lasting results, positively impacts multiple areas of your life, can improve your relationship and increases the chances of your wife praising you instead of complaining (my husband’s favorite). They just haven’t thought about it that way. When I talk to couples, the most common concern is that any cosmetic procedure will make their beautiful wife or girlfriend look like a real housewife. We all know that there are a number of people who have injections, surgery, etc that look very natural and you can’t tell. They simply look good for their age. Most of us as plastic surgeons and dermatologists agree with this philosophy and have this aesthetic. Seeing before and after pictures are reassuring not only to you that your physician shares your aesthetic, but can be very comforting to the man in your life, since men are often visual and like to see what to expect.My advice is to be direct in what you want. They will appreciate not having to come up with an idea. They have probably not thought about cosmetic procedures, nor do they usually know about them. Also, let them know what it really can do for the both of you and share some pictures with him either at physician’s office or online. Giving them more information about what you want generally makes them more comfortable and supportive!
