Many of our patients are stimulated to change their exercise and diet habits after their cosmetic surgery. Their new sense of well-being transfers over into action for them. Also, after large volume liposuction, they may have a period when they are not quite as hungry and this allows them to transition into better eating habits. We have even seen smokers quit smoking as part of their lifestyle change after their surgery. The anti aging benefits from lifestyle changes cannot be underestimated.

Additionally, our patients sometimes rearrange their social schedules and make big changes. We watch them develop a new set of fans of all kinds and sometimes even get new boyfriends or girlfriends after they improve their self-image and their physical image.

The mind-body connection is real. We see it every day at our Los Angeles Pasadena clinic.
