How to Decide if...

...Plastic Surgery is Right for You? 22 | TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM

‘‘

PLASTIC SURGERY CAN BE A SIGNIFICANT EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE, SO IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE PREPARED FOR THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT.

How to Decide if Plastic Surgery is Right for You? Plastic surgery can be a personal and complex decision, as it involves changing your appearance and potentially your self-esteem. Here are some factors you may want to consider when deciding if plastic surgery is right for you: So how do you decide if plastic surgery is right for you? How can you move forward confidently knowing you made the right decision if you do choose to undergo a cosmetic procedure? While everyone’s decision process is different, there are a few important things to consider and factors to weigh as you approach the option to undergo plastic surgery for the first time.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Thoroughly Educate Yourself on the Procedure If you have a specific procedure in mind, do a lot of research to learn as much as you can about it. Be sure to turn to reliable sources for information, especially if you’re researching online. Don’t hesitate to reach out to local plastic surgeons for more information about the procedure you’re interested in. You can even set up a consultation to learn more about the surgery and find out if the procedure is right for you. Determine If You Are a Good Candidate For the Procedure As you’re working through the decision process, it’s highly recommended that you meet with a Board Certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. This will help you to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure you are interested in. If you are a good candidate for the surgery, you can continue working towards deciding whether or not you’d like to move forward with it. If not, the surgeon may be able to suggest some alternative procedures or methods for achieving the look you desire. Make Sure the Outcome Aligns with Your Goals

There are a number of important things to do and think about as you make your decision. Here are a few of them:

As you’re working towards your decision, keep a finger on the pulse of your personal goals and make sure that any procedures you are considering will help you move towards them. Don’t lose sight of why you wanted to pursue plastic surgery in the first place.

Leave Myths About Plastic Surgery Behind

Research Local Plastic Surgeons

There are so many non-truths about plastic surgery floating around out there in society, which can make the decision to undergo a cosmetic procedure that much more difficult. As you approach your decision, be sure to let go of the stigmas and taboo rumors about plastic surgery.

In addition to researching plastic surgery procedures, do some research on local plastic surgeons. Choosing a surgeon is an important part of making the decision to move forward with a cosmetic procedure. You’ll want to be sure the doctor you trust to perform the surgery is someone you trust who truly has your best interests.

Is Plastic Surgery Right For Me? How to Make the Decision

Try to keep an open mind and have a down to earth attitude about plastic surgery and how it could impact you if you choose to move forward with a procedure. Understand Your Options Which procedures will help you achieve the look and feel you are going for? Do you have to have plastic surgery to achieve your cosmetic and confidence goals? Are there other, less intensive ways to improve your self confidence and appearance?

The Right Choice About Plastic Surgery Emotional preparedness: Plastic surgery can be a significant emotional experience, so it’s important to be prepared for the psychological impact. Think about how you may feel after the surgery, and make sure to have a support system in place to help you through the recovery process. Remember, the most important thing is to take your time, gather information, and make an informed decision. If you have any concerns or questions, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.

It’s important to understand all of your options when it comes to choosing a cosmetic procedure. Knowing which procedures will help you move closer to your goals, and weighing the options related to those procedures is a good way to narrow down the options that might be best for you. If you’re at all hesitant about plastic surgery, it also might be a good idea to start with a non-surgical cosmetic procedure. For instance, if you’re looking for fat reduction but you’re not sure you’re quite ready for liposuction, you could consider CoolSculpting. This will help you to get your feet wet in the world of plastic surgery, and may help you to feel more comfortable making the decision to undergo a surgical procedure.

Most of all, you are not taken for granted by your love ones, colleagues, friends and etc. It is no longer only about others’ needs but yours as well. Your boundaries are the rules for how others learn to respect around you, how you want to be treated, what you will accept and what you will not – they are based on your own needs and wants.

OFFERING A DIVINE MIX OF OCEAN BLUE AND GOLDEN SUNSET VIEWS Only a short distance from Heraklion International Airport and set in the tranquil and picturesque region of Agia Pelagia, this luxury hideaway is nestled within the cliffside and boasts panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. A serene contrast from the rugged surroundings and the crashing waves below, the architectural design merges a bohemian, contemporary flare with the unique natural surroundings. Muted tones, sleek décor, and minimalistic aesthetics run throughout each accommodation option, from sea view suites with private infinity pools to the Sunset Villa on the West Cliffside, offering a divine mix of ocean blue and golden sunset views. A firm favorite for many guests is the Cave Suite featuring custom-made wooden furniture, stone, and natural elements throughout, raw silk bed covers, spectacular sea views and a private pool. With sustainability playing a fundamental role in the hotel’s ethos, the Cave Suites have been built so that they maintain a stable and pleasant temperature year-round, with no air conditioning or heating needed. This season, ACRO Suites introduces its new restaurant, Elaionas, based on an exclusive, fine-dining experience. To reflect its name Elaionas (meaning “olive grove” in Greek) the gastronomic gem is to be located in a pretty olive garden and accompanied by panoramic sea views. The menu will feature a variety of traditional Cretan dishes and guests can also indulge in olive oil and wine-tasting experiences. New for 2023, the Cretan retreat will also introduce a weekly yogic deep relaxation session on Sunday evenings that taps into the practice of yoga nidra which is a conscious yogic sleep, induced by guided meditation. The sessions will be taking place in the hotel’s Asana Yoga Shala, one of the hotel’s signature spaces dedicated to wellness built entirely out of bamboo. Another key asset to the cliffside property is the Bath House, a dedicated spa for total relaxation and a space to lift your spirit. Inspired by the notion of hammams and purifying the soul, the Bath House has been created to pamper you as much as possible in the most natural and organic way, featuring an authentic Byzantine Hammam, a dry sauna, an outdoor pool, and several treatment rooms. From tension-melting massages to radianceboosting facials, the spa’s extensive menu offers a plethora of holistic experiences to choose from.

INTO W E L L N E S S By Maha Chaudhry

pring is here and It is the perfect time to de-clutter, not just your space, but your mind as well. Here’s a spring checklist that covers all of you: Mind, body, and soul. Consider checking off these items not only for the season, but as a reminder for consistent wellbeing throughout.

De-Clutter As every season comes along, we prioritize what we need, and what we no longer need to hold on to - we remove the clutter. When it comes to our mind, it should be no different. To ease the mind, work on removing thoughts that no longer serve you. A good way to do this is by practicing breath work and meditation. Bring your mind into stillness and look within to find inner peace.

Detox We all need a good cleanse sometimes. A cleanse does more than help our bodies heal, it brings clarity to the mind. It removes everyday toxins that can create brain fog among other obstacles. Consider adding a cleanse to your list of self-care. There are plenty recipes out there. I personally enjoy following the ones in the book Cleanse to Heal by Anthony William, also known as the “Medical Medium.”

Recharge You don’t have to go on vacation to feel recharged. You can do so in the comfort of your very home, or any place and brings you joy. All it takes is an hour or less to let go of the busy around you and hone in on the present moment. Recharge by participating in what energizes you. Is it being around your loved ones? Is it plugging off and reading a book? Do whatever that is for you consistently and you’ll find burnout doesn’t stand as much of a chance.

Rejuvenate Under the Sun In other words, get a boost of serotonin. Sunlight is responsible for helping your brain release serotonin which is directly linked to mood boosting. This can help you feel more refreshed and joyful, on top of feeling more focused. Now that beach season is among us, it’s a great time to get out and get a dose of sun therapy. Avoiding the beach during spring break? That’s okay too! Any way that you take in the natural light is acceptable, whether it is going for a walk in the park, lounging in the yard, or having lunch outdoors. Keep in mind, when under the sun, it is important to protect yourself from ultraviolet rays by wearing a clean SPF sunscreen of 30 or higher.

TATTED

IN THE NAME OF LOVE Stars who have taken the tattoo plunge in honor of the one they love

By Riesa Pascal

Remember way back in the olden days when a piece of sentimental jewelry was the ultimate profession of love for your significant other? Well these days, many couples are going for something a little more permanent and celebrities are not excluded. We’ve all seen celebs get tatted up in honor of the one they are dating or married to, but how often does that type of commitment go south? Read on to see which stars have expressed their love with tattoos—and who probably wishes they could take back their tattoo decisions. Jennifer Lopez It’s only fitting that we kick it off with Jennifer Lopez, who revealed a brand new tattoo just last month on Valentine’s Day. In celebration of her husband, Ben Affleck, J.Lo took to Instagram with a photo showing off her freshly inked torso. She spoke of the tattoo in her caption explaining that the design was an infinity symbol — representing “commitment” — with an arrow through it. Another photo in her Valentine’s Day tribute showed that Ben has a coordinating tattoo featuring a pair of crossed arrows and their respective initials, J and B.

Chrissy Teigen Seeing as how Chrissy Teigen recently welcomed a third child to their growing family, she and John may need to make an update to the matching tattoos they debuted back in April 2019. The “All of Me” crooner and his wife both tatted the other’s name, along with the names of their oldest two children, Luna and Miles. Teigen joked about the new ink in a light hearted Instagram post writing “Hey guys, please don’t talk to us unless you have tattoos. We are a cool tattoo family now and we only want to talk to other tattoo families (sorry if this seems harsh).”

Pete Davidson Most would learn quickly from the mistake of getting a tribute tattoo only to break up with that person, but Pete Davidson is a serial offender with nearly 20 tattoos from previous relationships. The first instance came during his twoand-a-half-year relationship with Cazzie David in which he got a self-portrait David drew as a child, her name, and her favorite emoji all tattooed on him. Even though they were only together for a total of five months, Ariana Grande has the most tattoos dedicated to her with a grand total of 10 including her initials, her last name, the Dangerous Woman bunny mask, a portrait of the pig they adopted together, their hands intertwined, the word “always” in her handwriting and multiple matching tattoos. At the height of his romance with Kim Kardashian, Davidson got three tribute tattoos including the words “Jasmine and Aladdin” in honor of their first kiss, the initials of her children, and the words “my girl is a lawyer.” It goes without saying that Davidson is also a big fan of coverup tattoos!

Megan Fox One of the biggest celebrity stories last month was the rumored break up of Megan Fox and her fiancé Machine Gun Kelly. Fox took to Instagram over Super Bowl weekend and strongly hinted they were done with a series of photos captioned, “You can taste the dishonesty it’s all over your breath.” This is a far cry from November 2020 when eagle-eyed fans noticed Fox had a new tattoo on the red carpet of the American Music Awards. The obvious tribute to Kelly said “el pistolero,” which translates to “the gunman.” Nick Cannon If you’re considering getting an ink tribute of your significant other and these stories have yet to put you off the idea, hopefully this next example will at least encourage you to think about the size of the tat you get and where. Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey were still married when he got a very large tattoo of Carey’s name across his upper back. Ultimately, the marriage didn’t work out and before the ink on the divorce

papers was dry, Nick was getting new ink of a large crucifix to cover-up the embarrassing tribute. Angelina Jolie Though Angelina Jolie has her fair share of tattoos, did you know that there is one specifically dedicated to her exhusband? A series of coordinates on Jolie’s arm match the various locations of where Brad Pitt and their respective children were born. In spite of their messy and highly-publicized split back in 2016, Jolie has yet to get the Pitt tribute ink covered. Heidi Klum After seven years of marriage and four children, Heidi Klum’s split from Seal in 2012 was a shock to many. In their happier days, Klum tattooed Seal’s name on her right forearm to celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary. After their divorce, Heidi frequently underwent expensive laser treatments to begin the time-consuming process of having the “permanent” declaration of love removed. Travis Barker It goes without saying that Travis Barker is a man who loves tattoos! The Blink-182 drummer is quite literally covered in ink from head to toe so I, for one, found it very impressive that he even found room on his “canvas” for a new tat in honor of his wife Kourtney Kardashian. Earlier this year, Barker added a stunning tattoo of Kardashian’s smoky eyes to his upper thigh in a hyper-realistic style, with subtle shading and every last eyelash defined.

WHICH RAZOR... Is right for you.

When it comes to finding the best razor for your face, there are a few factors to consider. For a close, comfortable shave, look for a razor with multiple blades and a lubricating strip. A pivoting head is also important for maneuvering around curves and contours of the face. An ergonomic handle can provide better grip and control, especially for wet shaving. Some of the best razors for men include the Gillette Fusion5 ProShield, the Schick Hydro 5 Sense, and the Harry’s The Truman Razor. It’s also important to find a razor that fits your skin type, so be sure to choose one with options for sensitive skin or with anti-inflammatory ingredients.

DEAR MEN...

Grooming tips!

Gentlemen, it’s time to step up your grooming game! No more excuses, no more “I just rolled out of bed and I’m ready to go” looks. It’s time to take your appearance seriously. First things first, it’s time to ditch the caveman beard. It’s great for making a statement, but it also collects crumbs from last night’s pizza. If you must keep the beard, make sure it’s trimmed and styled. The same goes for your hair. Invest in a good haircut and ditch the “I just woke up” bedhead. Next, let’s talk about skincare. It’s never too late to start taking care of your skin. Wash your face, moisturize, and don’t forget the sunscreen. You want to look young and fresh, not like a leather handbag.

For your body, it’s time to say goodbye to the dad bod. Yes, it’s comfortable, but it’s not attractive. Get some exercise, eat healthier, and show off those muscles. And don’t forget to keep those nails trimmed. No one wants to shake hands with a man who looks like he’s been digging for gold. When it comes to fashion, it’s time to ditch the baggy clothes and embrace a more fitted look. Say hello to tailored suits, crisp dress shirts, and stylish sneakers. You’ll look like a million bucks and feel confident in any situation. In conclusion, grooming isn’t rocket science, but it does take a little effort. Just remember, you’re never too old to start taking care of yourself. So, put down the pizza, pick up a mirror, and let’s get grooming!

Shannon R. M. Ivey, DVM Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital A South Carolina Lowcountry native, Dr. Shannon Ivey has found her home in Tarpon Springs, Florida. More than the oak trees draped in moss, beautiful creeks and bayous, cypress swamps, and abundant wildlife, the friendly community of Tarpon Springs drew her here and made her feel welcome. She is the proud owner of Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital, featuring a state-of-the-art veterinary hospital, separate cat hospital, her home, and an updated boarding facility nestled on five acres of a tranquil wooded sanctuary in Tarpon Springs. Dr. Ivey earned her Bachelor of Science degree at Clemson University and her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Tennessee, where she was fortunate to be involved in the medical care of their mascot Smokey and several of the Anheuser Busch Clydesdale horses. From serving as President of her Student Veterinary Medical Chapter to President of several Local Veterinary Medical Associations in Memphis and Shelby County, TN and in Sarasota County, FL, Dr. Ivey has always been active in local veterinary medical leadership and education. At Hidden Oaks, she is happy to work with student volunteers and interns, fostering close relationships with the St. Petersburg College Veterinary Technology program and the Tarpon Springs High School Veterinary Science Academy. In fact, the year 2020 was unique for Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital in that its employees/alumni represented all three levels of educational achievement earning High School, Veterinary Technology, and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees! While practicing veterinary medicine during a pandemic has presented some unique challenges, Dr. Ivey and her team have diligently maintained the highest standards of care and provided patients and clients with the personalized, compassionate treatment to which they are accustomed. She has incorporated telemedicine, increased prescription and pet food home delivery, provided outdoor client seating, performed outdoor exams and peaceful euthanasia in the butterfly

garden, and implemented contactless payments to help adapt to our changing situation. Regardless of the current demands, Dr. Ivey and her team have continued to practice the highest levels of veterinary care, including advanced soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, Sevo- and Isoflurane anesthesia, digital radiology (x-rays), ultrasonography, dentistry, internal medicine, cardiology, oncology, Class IV Laser therapy, cryotherapy, behavioral consults, and dermatology. Dr. Ivey also welcomes a board-certified cardiologist to the practice monthly for echocardiograms and consultations. Despite less than 15% of veterinary hospitals earning the distinction of American Animal Hospital Association Accreditation, she is proud to have just celebrated the hospital’s 25th year as an AAHA Accredited Hospital! Further recognition came as Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital was presented with the Best of Tarpon Springs Animal Hospital Award of 2020! Through Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital’s support of local animal charities and donations to disaster relief causes, Dr. Ivey strives to have a positive impact on the Tampa Bay community. She also remains committed to community involvement when not in the office. Inspired by her daughter Arwyn, a Double Bassist, she absolutely loves her time spent with the Tarpon Springs Leadership Conservatory for the Arts, Tampa Metropolitan Youth Orchestra, and the Pinellas Youth Symphony. She is extremely honored to actively serve on the Board of Directors for the Pinellas Youth Symphony. As light filters through the Spanish moss on the oak trees and the deer and turkey roam the grounds, it is easy to see why Dr. Ivey is glad that her home is attached to the vet hospital and why her patients feel so comfortable when they come to Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital for medical care and to board at its newly remodeled spa. The warmth and hospitality of Dr. Shannon Ivey is well matched by the current medical therapies practiced at Hidden Oaks Animal Hospital where your pets will feel at home, too.
