I’d like to describe the world of plastic surgery as prime real estate: a little renovation can make all the difference.

Beauty Is an Asset

Enhancing one’s appearance can boost confidence, much like how upgrading a property increases its value. The process is similar—your experience will depend on the time and money you choose to invest in yourself. Cosmetic procedures range from $1,000 for injectables to $500,000 for all-inclusive fees covering a full-body makeover or facelift.

Yes, even your most intimate areas can be aesthetically enhanced and rejuvenated.

In the world of plastic surgery, anything is possible—but it can cost as much as a home.

I once had a patient who sold her car to afford her procedure.

Here is an example of a beautiful body sculpting case done by the incredible Dr. Calvin Jung from Houston, Texas.

Good plastic surgery will increase confidence, improved self-esteem, and better your mental well-being. It can also help boost your career, for instance Lindsay Lohan and her recent make over. She looks fantastic and has been booking more roles in movies and television.

Custom-Tailored Surgery

Surgical procedures are customized to your face and body. Beyond the surgeon’s fees, you must account for other expenses, including:

Initial Consultation Fee

• Consultant fee

• Prescriptions

• Blood work and EKG

• Operating room costs

• Post-op care, such as assistance with bandages, removing drains, and sometimes even taking you to your lymphatic massages (especially after liposuction).

We’ve even created a custom one-month diet guide that includes pre-surgery meals to build your immune system and post-surgery meals to help you stay strong and slim during recovery.

Choosing the Right Surgeon

Selecting a surgeon is much like choosing the right contractor, real estate agent, or developer. You want someone highly experienced in the procedure you’re considering and board-certified.

Your surgical consultant can guide you through your makeover journey. Meet Audrey Ortega, a skilled surgical consultant who collaborates with a team of some of the best plastic surgeons in California, as well as in states like Texas and Florida. We are actively working on expanding our network to include even more top doctors across the country.

They help coordinate everything, from initial consultations to aftercare. I usually recommend meeting with more than one surgeon to see who you feel most comfortable with.

Your consultant can also handle scheduling appointments, organizing post-op care, and being available 24/7 for any questions or concerns.

It’s also important to remember that you’ll need to set aside time to recover. Depending on the procedure, recovery can take anywhere from two weeks to a month. Additionally, you’ll be completing a significant amount of paperwork, such as consent forms—much like signing contracts when purchasing a home.

Investing in yourself through plastic surgery is a deeply personal decision, one that requires thoughtful planning, research, and commitment. Just like renovating a property, the results can be life-changing when done right. By choosing the right team, preparing for recovery, and treating the process as an investment in your confidence and well-being, you’ll be on your way to creating your dream “real estate for the body.”
