Dear Dr. Bob,
I write this letter in deep appreciation for the gift you have given me... the freedom of comfort and self-esteem.
I know that it's difficult for many to understand the motivation that brings a person to surgically alter one's appearance. The choice is often equated simply to vanity. But truly, for some of us, it is more the need to feel at peace with one's own body... To wake up in the morning and feel satisfaction when looking at one's self full in the mirror... to not be forced to choose clothing or makeup that covers up those particular flaws that cause us discomfort or embarrassment.
For me, it was not a matter of not liking myself, nor having difficulty perceiving myself as an attractive individual. I've always been able to appreciate the person that I am because I know that my compassion, honesty and perseverence are the most important components of my person. It was more a matter of not wanting to expend energy or feel unhappy about physical flaws that I could not affect with diet and exercise.
After having given birth to four children, my bustline, tummy and backside were a mess. After having raised them, my undereyes had bags and deep circles.. (from peeking out windows at all hours, do you think?) So... I, with hope and hearty recommendations, went to your office.
My life has not been the same since. My tummy was tucked, my backside lightened with liposuction, my eye bags removed, and my bustline - along with my spirit - lifted. I felt so fabulous that I had a skin peel and lip implants done as well. The compassion and care of your whole office alleviated any fears or misgivings I may have felt. And, I would like to mention that, at age 40, not only do I feel fabulous, I've been encouraged to begin a modeling career... I'm positive that how I feel about myself, not just how I look, has a lot to do with the success I'm having in my new endeavor.
In closing, I add that I still wake up and appreciate my person for compassion, honesty and perseverence. I just don't have to squirm about in my skin while doing so. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
-Laura, Eternally Grateful
