Like many women considering plastic surgery, 36-year-old Julia found she had one final hurdle. “I just couldn’t confide in a man, even a doctor, about where I felt ugly. After all, I’d spent my life covering up my bulges and blotches from men,” she said.
Girltalk was the key for Julia who went to Dr. Christine Petti, one of the top female plastic surgeons in the Southland, after seeing her on a TV program. “Many women are naturally reluctant to speak honestly about their physical flaws to a man.” board-certified Dr. Petti said. “Some find it embarrassing or just too personal, so speaking woman to woman gives them confidence.”
