“Watts Cosmetic and Fitness Center”
I have started this center with a vision of promoting Preventive Cosmetic Surgery. Now I know this is a new term. As I elaborate on it I know all my plastic surgery colleagues going to bring out daggers and knives and will be gunning for my neck. But I am sure by the time they finish reading it they will love the idea.
We Indians, as a society are never health conscious. We can have budgets in our annual incomes for practically everything except health. Besides, we are the emotional ones. Thinking about health is the last thing in our minds. So when we are not mentally prepared for any kind of eventuality, becoming conscious about cosmetic surgery comes very late mostly out of some kind of social compulsion be it an impending marriage or some kind of job requirement especially the front office jobs.
We all want to look beautiful, presentable and age has nothing to do with that. An elderly person may laugh off his sagging face and bulging tummy or we ourselves may ignore this but just start a discussion and you will find even he or she too is worried. Our social compulsions don’t let these worries to come up as we are made like this.
The idea which this center is going to promote is to develop a healthy life style letting us age gracefully, keeping us fit which will take care of many other health problems.
Obesity is on the rise thanks to our eating habits and changed life styles. Why we should think of going to a plastic surgeon or think of going under the knife only when we are finally down? Why can’t we maintain our self before? Cosmetic surgery is there to help but this is not the only answer. Unless you maintain yourself even the results of cosmetic procedures can get spoiled. So for example to get a good result from a body contouring surgery you have to follow a healthy life style as well. It needs self discipline. The center offers you all, a surgical help, making you aware about a healthy life style and helping you in becoming disciplined about maintaining it. Various experts, mind it the chosen ones from their respective fields to ensure best possible quality care, attached to the center help you to do that for they keep a track and follow you regularly. We try to involve you emotionally with the center for you can understand the need of a healthy and fit body.
A female with all family compulsions has to balance family, work. She does not think about herself because everything else comes before. Why does she not follow or learn the right ways of maintaining herself during her deliveries rather than hitting gyms, working on crash weight reduction courses in vengeance few years later. The idea the center promotes is to inculcate all those things in your day to day growing up. The center helps you in learning all this and beside a cosmetic hand is always there to help if at all needed.
We all age with time but let us do it gracefully. Let us fight with this aging process by delaying it. Lets us enjoy the day to day pleasures.
Before we think of correcting the external beauty with our cosmetic hand let us make ourselves beautiful internally with our fitness maintaining hand. And it may happen that you don’t need the cosmetic hand at all.
The idea of this center is to develop a loyal member or a patient base that once getting benefited from the center becomes our spokesperson in the society to spread the message of importance of fitness. That is why we call them beauty promoter and cosmetic care instructor for the society.
The experts be it medical experts or the allied subjects experts like dieticians, physiotherapists, yoga instructors, life style counselors help you in achieving a healthy life style and a fitter you so that you become ultimately a spokesperson for the center making more people involved with the center.
This may sound as a new concept from a plastic surgeon but being one even I know that I can’t achieve much if I don’t have the support of other experts of their respective areas and most importantly if my patient is not mentally determined to become fit.
Always welcoming suggestions and seeking your support.
I care,
