Seattle Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Lisa Lynn Sowder blogs about patient satisfaction.
I can usually tell when a patient really, really likes the result of their breast or body contouring surgery, at least if they have had any sun lately. I just take a look at their tan lines! (Those of you who read this blog regularly know that I am totally anti-tan and I am not advocating any activity that causes tan line nor do I advocate non-tan line nude sunbathing!)
Sometimes I’ll have a patient who is super picky about a very minor imperfection but who has tan lines that tell me he/she is comfortable not wearing much at the beach or pool. Once I had a tummy tuck patient, well into her 50s, that was upset that her string bikini didn’t cover her bikini line scar. That is what I call a happy problem!
Hey, thanks for reading and stay away from those tanning beds. More on that in an upcoming blog. Dr. Lisa Lynn Sowder
