Common Goals for Veganism and Plastic Surgery in Sacramento
(firmenpresse) - SACRAMENTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/10/12 -- On the surface, Veganism and plastic surgery seem vastly unrelated. Veganism involves simply embracing that which is pure and natural, while cosmetic procedures enhance that which is natural. However, Dr. Charles Perry of Chrysalis Cosmetics says these two seemingly disparate philosophies are more closely aligned than many would first believe.
Dr. Perry recently made a commitment to healthier living, which has included training for triathlons and following a vegan diet for more than a year. While the most obvious changes are represented in one's diet, he says he is fond of the vegan philosophy, and has seen it carry over into other aspects of his life:
"Veganism represents a pure form of change. It is a habit that can improve self-esteem as it joins the outer and inner body image as one strives to live a healthy and happy life. It requires commitment and planning, while exposing one to new and exciting insights. Being thoughtful with your food intake, the environment, and the process in which the decision is made is truly enlightening. Plastic surgery is also a pure form of change because it works for those in whom an inner change has occurred, which may be inconsistent with their outer appearance. It is this process of thoughtful and careful change to enhance the body and the mind that makes these two ways of being so similar."
Following this lifestyle change, Dr. Perry says he began to connect with patients at his practice who were also Vegans or Paleolithic dietarians, which led to an interesting discovery: "We see these patients healing faster with less swelling. They seem to have less pain and quicker recoveries. When we compare the nutrient dense Vegan or Paleo diet with the average American diet lacking micro-nutrients so important to healing and recovery, this really should come as no surprise."
While Dr. Perry admits that many Vegans and Paleolithic dietarians strive to avoid elective surgeries because of the inherent strain any invasive procedure produces for the body, he says they are happy with the aesthetic results once they resume their lifestyle without difficulty. One such strain these patients must endure is the need to limit their diets ahead of the procedure: "We prefer low fiber diets around the time of surgery, and like to have a lot of branch chain amino acids in the body to further promote healing following surgery. We also like to limit the omega three oils as they cause more bruising. However, other than that, we don't tend to see too many conflicting issues or concerns."
Regardless of whether a potential patient has dietary restrictions or not, Dr. Perry says the decision to undergo a cosmetic procedure is rooted in a complex and deeply personal process. As patients consider the procedures he specializes in, ranging from to BOTOX® injections, he stresses the importance of research and the need to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. He adds that while Vegans or Paleos and those considering cosmetic enhancement may take different roads, they are both committed to improving their lives.
