Myth busters
Myth No. 1: Cosmetic procedures change your life. Cosmetic procedures don’t take an unhappy person and turn them
into a happy person.
Myth No. 2: Because it’s new, it’s better. New treatments and procedures are constantly becoming available. Select a plan
with someone who continually studies and researches new treatments and procedures.
Myth No. 3: Liposuction is a good way to lose weight. Liposuction should not be used for weight loss but should
instead be used for disproportionate pockets of fat that don’t diminish through a monitored diet and exercise program.
Myth No. 4: Botox creates a frozen or unnatural appearance. When administered by an experienced individual it is
safe, and when administered conservatively and carefully it can provide a natural appearance.
