Every young girl dreams of her wedding day. It is one of the high points of anyone’s life. It is a day that will be captured forever, on film (and likely, video). How we look on this most important day will live in our minds and the memories of our friends and families for years to come. Our walls, mantles, and possibly a desk or two, will reflect matrimonial bliss to all who see our photos and wedding day album. Is it any wonder that men and women, worldwide, are opting for bridal makeovers before the wedding bells. Celebrities are notorious for this, of course, because they can afford it, and they will look better for the paparazzis.
Now, before we discuss the bride’s makeover – let’s just discuss the fact that men also want to look their best for their prospective wife, and attendees. He is just as ‘on display’ as she is … well almo. We have personal knowledge of men who have undergone dental work, dermabrasion, rhinoplasty and other procedures in preparation for their wedding.
For the bride, of course, a spa treatment and professional hair and makeup are the minimum that people consider essential, but, we are talking about going the extra distance and having pre-wedding plastic surgery.
Many brides are reported to have dermal fillers, designer liposuction, breast implants, in addition to other cosmetic procedures. If it is a second wedding, and depending on age and former marital status, many women many have a tummy tuck or mommy makeover taking their vows another time.
If you are thinking of doing this, there are certain procedures that you will want to do well in advance of (4-6 months before the wedding), and others that can be done up to two weeks before. The work that one has done is personal, and varied. A bride can choose to have Botox and dermal fillers, peels and dermabrasion, spider vein removal, liposuction…all of the way up to chin implants, an eye lift, nose job and breast augmentation. Each bride knows how she wants to look on ‘her day’ – and the options that she wishes to consider. If you (or someone you know) are considering a bridal makeover, it is best to start your research early – and map out a plan with a board-certified plastic surgeon well in advance, so that you will be set for your amazing wedding day.
