What would you think of a woman who tells you she has fallen in love with her plastic surgeon? A bit unbalanced, you'd say? Sexually promiscuous? Frustrated, with no love life of her own? Wrong on all three counts. I can tell you that first hand because I was that woman! Yes, that's right, me, happily married to the same man I fell in love with at age 19. Me, a solid-as-a-rock, both-feet-on-the-ground type, refined, and loyal to a fault, forever honoring those marriage vows. But there I was, a few weeks post-surgery, feeling like a hopelessly-in-love teenager. Why was this happening to me? My research led me to some answers that began to clear the air. My interviews with other women (over 100 of them), made me aware of the fact that this was not such an unusual phenomenon.
That's all history now. But three days ago I received an e-mail message from a Southern Belle named Georgia and received her permission to reprint it here.
Her message confirmed for me that I had made the right decision for exactly the right reasons.
Here is her e-mail:
"I arrived home from being out of town yesterday & found your book that I'd ordered from Amazon.com. Couldn't wait to read it, & found it quite interesting & informative, especially the above-mentioned chapters (Chapters 5 and 6)! I had an eye-lift over ten years ago and recently had a face lift. Both times I too experienced post-surgical amorous feelings for my plastic surgeon. When I talked to him about it in follow-up visits, all he said was Don't worry, you'll get over it. I don't think that any of them have a clue about how to handle what I now find from your book is not so uncommon. You'd think that it would be covered in a surgeon's training at some point, & it certainly needs to be so that it can be included in the packet of information they give us before surgery."
If you were Georgia, what words would you have liked to have heard from your plastic surgeon? (and I don't mean "I love you!")
We want to hear your thoughts, and will happily share them (anonymously) in a future column.

Wow, how interesting.....When I opt in for any procedures with the plastic surgeon I will make it a point to look for a cute one.
This post makes me want to read chapters 5 & 6 in detail.
As for your question, I would of liked to have my sugreon be compassionate and carring, and if this “I’m in love with my surgeon” a frequent occurance, I would like my doctor to be upfront and personal and tell me that it’s natural for patients to experience this feeling.
But I would really would like to know from you, since you experienced this feeling, what would you wanted to hear from him?
Great Post
Thanks

I suppose I would look for his comfort, being in an almost vulnerable position after surgery, where you are supposed to feel great after doing something you have wanted for so long.
I wouldn’t expect the man to be with me forever, yet i would look for some support and positive energy from someone that I felt so close to to cheer me up.
I hope this helps, yet since i have not been in that position, i don’t feel like i can really relate.
