New Year’s Gift: #Plastic Surgery

New Year's Gift: #Plastic Surgery

As the world knows, Antalya is a renowned tourism city, but with the onset of winter, the tourism season starts to quiet down. As a plastic surgeon living in Antalya, I often hear questions from my patients who plan their holidays before the new year: "Can I gift a plastic surgery procedure as a New Year's present?" While women may want to gift eyelid surgery to their spouses, husbands may consider gifting breast implants to their wives.

However, we must ensure that this wonderfully thoughtful gift does not upset our loved ones, as the gift we offer has the potential to completely change their lives. First and foremost, we need to be certain that the person we love and wish to give this gift to is actually interested in undergoing a plastic surgery procedure. If your loved one has been expressing dissatisfaction with the shape of their nose and has been looking for a plastic surgeon, you're on the right track. But if they have no such thoughts and are content with their appearance, your gift might upset them. Let's not forget that plastic surgery cuts deeper than skin. If the person you're considering this gift for frequently mentions their eyelids, forehead lines, thin lips, or ears, it's a green light for you, and you can surprise them with a plastic surgery gift. If I were to summarize the steps you should follow:

• Instead of secretly looking for a plastic surgeon, you can book an appointment together and arrange a detailed consultation first.
• Research thoroughly and make sure the surgeon is a certified Plastic Surgeon before scheduling the consultation. In our country, you can find information about certified plastic surgeons on our association's website: tpcd.org.tr.
• The simplest option might be gifting treatments that your loved one already regularly receives, such as toxin applications or fillers.

Wishing you a wonderful year with your loved ones.
