Soon-To-Be Wife Goes Under the Knife | The Growing Trend of “Bridalplasty”

Posted January 09, 2012 in Plastic Surgery News

It's not uncommon for soon-to-be brides to lose weight or get a makeover before saying “I do,” but how about undergoing plastic surgery? ABC's Good Morning America is reporting on a growing trend in the pre-wedding ritual: bridalplasty.

Women want to look their best on the big day. And, with today's modern plastic surgery techniques, many are looking for a cosmetic touch-up before walking down the aisle. Good Morning America profiled one woman—Linsey Ray—who wanted just that. According to the GMA piece, “the transformation Ray has undergone is obvious. She has a tighter, more slender body. Even though it's cost her so much, Ray has no regrets.” Ray, who is apparently happy with her choice, opted for a tummy tuck and a breast lift in lieu of a honeymoon. And, she's certainly not alone! Read on to learn more about this ever-growing trend.

The Bridalplasty Procedures Women are Choosing

More and more, soon-to-be brides are walking into a plastic surgery office before walking down the aisle. Here are a few cosmetic procedures these women are turning to today.

Common bridalplasty procedures:

• Breast augmentation: For many women, small breasts can mean low self-esteem. Thankfully, Breast Augmentation can often improve appearance and boost confidence. During the procedure, implants are placed under the breast tissue or under the muscle of the chest wall. The result is a fuller, shapelier bust.
• Liposuction: Even following successful weight loss, many women suffer from persistent, unwanted fat in certain locations. Often, liposuction can be the answer. Liposuction is a procedure where excess, unwanted fat is removed from the body using a suction tool. Common liposuction areas include the abdomen, thighs and buttocks.
• Tummy tuck: Soon-to-be brides often work hard to drop weight before the big day. An unwanted side effect is often loose or hanging skin. For many, a Tummy Tuck can do wonders. By removing excess fat and skin, we can help you achieve a smoother, firmer abdomen.
