Most everyone that considers some cosmetic plastic surgery procedure is interested in a natural result. While the concept of a natural looking result is open to wide interpretation, it usually refers to a procedure that is not overdone. Being overdone in plastic surgery often refers to cosmetic operations(s) that may have been performed in an aggressive manner. This could refer to the facelift that was pulled too tight, the breast implants that were too big or the browlift that was elevated too high, to name a few examples. While every patient wants the most ‘bang for their buck’, more of a physical change may not always be better. It becomes critical, therefore, for every patient to relay in as much detail as possible to their plastic surgeon as to the exact type of change they are seeking. Since so many patients use the term ‘natural’ to describe what they want, one had better be sure what the plastic surgeon sees as natural and how an unnatural outcome is going to be prevented. Don’t assume a natural looking result occurs ‘naturally’.
