If you are debating whether or not to get a face lift, rhinoplasty, eyelid procedure, or another type of cosmetic surgery, the wealth of potentially concerning information and horror stories can be enough to turn you firmly against your desired procedure. Harvard-trained David K. Hiranaka, M.D., D.M.D., Kailua Kona, HI’s premier cosmetic surgeon, has been providing personalized makeovers to Hawaii residents since 1994. He's here to bust some common myths about cosmetic surgery so you feel more comfortable with your chosen procedure.

• Only Women Get Cosmetic Surgery: Knowing the impact appearance has on success, many men also opt for less invasive cosmetic procedures, such as Botox, dermal treatments, and laser fillers.
• Botox Leaves You Expressionless: Botox, if applied in moderation, softens lines and wrinkles without interfering with facial expressions.
• Cosmetic Surgery Is About Vanity: Although cosmetic surgery is an aesthetic procedure, it is also used to correct serious health conditions, such as a cleft palate and accident-related injuries.

  

• People Who Choose Cosmetic Surgery Have Psychological Problems: Most of the people who choose to have cosmetic surgery are doing so for two very rational, healthy reasons: to look better and feel better about themselves.

Buying a beautiful new dress or suit to enhance your style is exciting, and so deciding to have a cosmetic procedure to help you feel and look your best! Dr. Hiranaka has advanced training in facial reconstruction and aesthetic surgeries, and is committed to providing the best facial and reconstructive cosmetic surgery services on the Big Island.
