Commit to Discovering Your Best Self in 2018
by Erin O’Connell
As the time for making resolutions approaches, it’s easy for them to become just another item on your “to-do” list. We understand that life can be hectic, and finding time for self-care may seem out of reach. However, just because you’re busy doesn’t mean you should neglect your own well-being.
According to U.S. News, “80% of New Year’s resolutions fail” by mid-February. Rather than focusing on a specific goal or item, think about resolving to uncover your “best self” over the year. Whether it’s through “mommy makeovers,” skin rejuvenation, orthodontic care, or other options, you’re bound to find a path that leads you towards personal improvement.
Mommy Makeovers and Confidence Restoration
Hilary Clary, Marketing Director at Regional Plastic Surgery Center, notes that many women experience noticeable changes to their bodies after childbirth, but surgical options can help them achieve their desired appearance.
“Often their clothing no longer fits and their confidence takes a hit,” Clary states. “A mommy makeover includes advanced plastic surgery procedures, typically a tummy tuck and a breast lift or augmentation, designed to address the specific aesthetic concerns that follow pregnancy.”
If you’re considering surgery, it’s crucial to verify the surgeon’s qualifications. “Before selecting a surgeon, individuals should inquire whether they are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery,” Clary recommends.
Alternative Solutions: Weight Loss and Beyond
Surgery may not be suitable for everyone, which is where Kathryn I. Kennelly RN, MSN, FNP-C, owner of the Institute of Health Promotion (IHP) Weight Loss, offers alternative solutions.
One of IHP Weight Loss’s clients, Lisa, shares her success story: “The key to losing weight and maintaining it is… to follow the guidance of the Nurse Practitioner! IHP meets you at your current level and collaborates with you to create a customized plan that works.”
