SMILE!
The Contagious Act That Transforms Lives
It’s often said that a smile can change the world. Smiles are incredibly contagious and powerful. One of the largest sources of my happiness is my family — my wife and kids constantly bring a smile to my face. Right now, my daughter is at that age where anything that I say or do makes her laugh, so it’s great to be able to get an on-demand smile from her. Her joy melts my heart. On Oct. 6, we celebrate World Smile Day. Smiling is a simple, powerful act that impacts our well-being, relationships, and our overall outlook on life. Studies show that even if you aren’t having the best day, forcing a smile can improve your day and boost your mood. Sometimes the “fake it until you make it” attitude works wonders. In fact, research has also shown that because Botox injections can make it difficult to frown, those who receive Botox frown less often and, in turn, are happier. As a plastic surgeon, one of the most gratifying parts of my job is seeing true, genuine smiles break out on my patient’s faces. Whether it’s the smile when they try on the perfect implant size during their consultation, the smile they wear when they come into the office excited for their procedure, the smile in post-op when they see the initial results, or the smile three months after their surgery once they’ve healed and the true results shine through, I am always thrilled to know that I contributed to the happiness behind those smiles.
In a world that is often stressful and demanding, the simple act of smiling can be transformative. Smiling elevates our well-being, strengthens our relationships, and improves the quality of our interactions. By embracing our smiles and doing more things that make us happy, we lead better lives. Here’s to smiling!
