[H1179]How To Get Past Barracuda

by Abigail Aaronson, Abi

The biggest risk of getting a nose job, or rhinoplasty as it's technically called, is not a health complication. The biggest risk is that you may not be happy with the result. There are countless examples of patients whose results were not at all what they wanted. When you get a rhinoplasty, you have to make sure you are getting exactly what you want.

Bad Nose Jobs

Once the operation is over, and you find that you didn't get improvements you wanted, don't despair. Corrective rhinoplasty is an increasingly common procedure. It is a little different from the primary operation, but it is a growing industry. Patients who suffer from various nasal deformities find the corrective aspects of the surgery beneficial. Remember, a nose job is not permanent. You can always go back and get it fixed.

The only problem is that you have to wait for a designated period before you go back. Like any operation, a rhinoplasty requires a recovery period for the scar tissue to heal. If your surgery is a disaster, you have to wait several months before you can go back for corrections. That means several months of wearing the nose you didn't ask for. For most of us, it would only be a minor or embarrassing inconvenience, but for those whose faces are their livelihoods, it can be really rough.

This procedure, like any plastic surgery, is not cheap. Even if you are covered by your insurance (and some of us are), you can still expect a pricey procedure. Going back for reconstructive surgery after the first unsuccessful one can be even more expensive. For many who get a corrective rhinoplasty, they've already spent their insurance money and have to reach into their pockets.

Finding a Surgeon

It used to be difficult finding skilled corrective rhinoplasty surgeons. It was a highly specialized skill, and not many doctors practiced it. However, with the rise in nose jobs all over the world, more and more plastic surgeons are taking on corrective rhinoplasty.

It's best to go with the same plastic surgeon that did your first operation if you can. In most cases, poor results are not due to lack of skill on the part of the surgeon, but miscommunication or unrealistic expectations. If your plastic surgeon does not do corrective surgery, and many don't, they can always refer you to one who does.

Get It Right the First Time

The best way to deal with a bad nose job is to not have one! Getting it right the first time means you won't have the extra headaches and expenses of a corrective procedures at all.

Look for a plastic surgeon with knowledge and experience. Referrals are generally the best way to find a good plastic surgeon. Ask a friend or acquaintance who is satisfied with their procedure. This is, by far, the best way to find a good plastic surgeon. If it means traveling for your rhinoplasty, by all means, do it. Don't go with an inferior doctor who is local and convenient.

One way to check out plastic surgeons is to have a look at their former clients. All good plastic surgeons keep files of before and after pictures of their past patients. Plastic surgeons are always happy to show these off, and if you happen to talk to a plastic surgeon that doesn't have any, move on to someone else.

The consultation is the key to getting the nose you want. Most poor results can be prevented during the consultation. Be clear about what you want. Bring pictures for the plastic surgeon to get an idea of what you want. Also, consider whatever ideas they bring to the table.

Most patients who get a rhinoplasty are happy with the results. Imagine, having the perfect nose that you've always wanted! But, if things don't work out as planned, don't worry. You can always go back and get it fixed!

When we are first born, we are an open book so to speak, we have no beliefs. As we begin to grow, every experience we have leads us to draw conclusions, make assumptions or make explanations for that experience. Over time, each new experience gets filtered through the beliefs we've set up from those earlier experiences and we tend to make it fit into the way we think about ourselves. It's become so ingrained in us that we don't even question whether our beliefs are accurate. In our minds, they are truth, but in fact they are only our beliefs.

Why, for example, might one child grow up believing one thing, while a sibling believes something entirely different? Because beliefs are based on the individual's interpretation of an event, not on the actual event itself. So if one child is neglected, they might become needy, always seeking love because they felt rejected. However, the sibling may become independent, because they learned to stand on their own. Same situation, different interpretation, different beliefs.

Since beliefs are the foundation upon which we build our view of the world, its difficult to move forward in life and to break through barriers if our beliefs limit us. They define our world, and anything we do that challenges a deep-seated belief meets with great resistance. I know for me, it feels like an internal tug-of-war! It seems like I have this Belief Detective, and anytime a belief feels threatened, it retaliates.

I'm sure you've experienced a time in your life when your negative beliefs have kept you stuck. If you believe you always get the short end of the stick, that's what you will get. Your subconscious will help to prove you right by giving you examples of how you always get the short end. But in truth, we all have many positive beliefs as well or we'd never get anything done. Most of these beliefs lay hidden in our subconscious and we never even know they are there until we try to do something that threatens that belief. Then trying to change them becomes very challenging.

Often, when we get lucky, beliefs that no longer serve us get replaced by more productive beliefs all by themselves (like you may believe you can't ride a bike until you do - presto - belief gone). So our task then is to root out the old negative beliefs that have been holding us back and replace them with beliefs that serve our higher purpose.

NNow how do you go about changing these beliefs? First you have to be willing and you need to realize that the beliefs you hold have some sort of payoff for you. Maybe they prove you right, maybe they keep you safe, but whatever it is, when you try to change it, your Big Bad Belief Detective will try to stop you. For instance, I was told that doing affirmations was very helpful in reprogramming limiting beliefs. However, I found that I just couldn't do them for any length of time. I'd get bored, tired or find other excuses not to do them. Why, because my Belief Detective put up those roadblocks to stop me from trying to change my beliefs. Insidious, isn't it? I finally realized that I would need to find a way to bypass my Belief Detective.

I just had to find a way, so I tried meditation, visualization, hypnosis and a lot of other stuff with some limited success, but the excuses would always creep back in and I'd stop doing them. What finally worked for me was to set my affirmations into short, catchy little tunes. Have you ever heard a jingle on TV or the radio that played in your head all day long? Well, I used that phenomenon and created short little jingles with affirmation statements in them. They would run all day long in the back of my mind over and over. I called them AttitudeZapz!

When was the last time you argued with yourself about song lyrics? Not likely! And scientific studies have shown that while the critical part of the mind - or the conscious mind is engrossed in the music, the uncritical part of the mind-or sub-conscious-is receiving the affirmations, without interference. So no one inside of your head is saying, "That's not true!" And because you just sing these affirmation jingles mindlessly, you don't have to worry about whether or not you believe the words. They will just slip into your sub-conscious mind.

So finally I'd found a way to bypass the Belief Detective. Because of that one little thing, I've grown by leaps and bound and you can too. You can do the same thing with your own affirmations if you want to, or if you don't feel that creative, try AttitudeZapz!, and your Belief Detective will soon be out of a job!
