All surgeries, whether elective plastic or cosmetic surgery, carry risks and potential complications. If the potential patients are in a healthy condition, it will improve their overall experience. There are 5 things they should consider when planning a cosmetic/reconstructive procedure:
General health
The ideal candidates for cosmetic surgery are men and women who:
- want to improve their appearance
- be realistic in their expectations
- be physically healthy and have a stable weight
- do not smoke
If potential patients plan to have a baby or lose a significant amount of weight, they should remember to postpone cosmetic surgery until they reach their goals. Weight changes after surgery can affect their aesthetic improvements. Shedding extra pounds before surgery can also minimize the risk of complications.
Way of thinking
They need the right mindset to achieve successful results. Cosmetic surgery is not a necessity, but a personal choice that will help one feel more confident. People don’t have to have cosmetic surgery to change for the better, but if they feel like this is something that will make them the person they want to be, they should keep going.
While cosmetic surgery can improve their quality of life, they should think twice before deciding to go ahead with the procedure. Surgery carries risks, takes time to recover, and may require several procedures. They need to remember that plastic and cosmetic surgery won’t make them better or solve problems in different aspects of their lives.
Recovery
The amount of time it takes to be away from work and other responsibilities, plus restrictions on certain activities, depends on the procedure chosen, the time it takes to perform the surgery, the type of anesthesia used, and the length of the hospital stay. Sometimes they have to go through more than one procedure to achieve the desired results.
To ensure a smooth and safe recovery and successful outcomes, they must follow their postoperative instructions to the smallest detail. If they are not allowed to lift for weeks during recovery, they should use adequate support to help them with their daily activities. For example, they can ask for help with cleaning, driving, shopping, caring for children and preparing meals.
Surgical wounds take time to heal. Patients have to wait patiently for about 6 months to see satisfactory results. They must plan their surgery based on priorities and lifestyle. They should keep in mind that they plan to attend major events (such as weddings and major holidays) right after surgery because they may not be at their best.
Total costs
Most cosmetic procedures are personal expenses. If they are concerned about costs, they can consider financing options. However, they should be wary of cheap procedures performed outside the US. If they sound too good to be true, they probably are. They have to take many things into account.
As mentioned earlier, these include the expertise and experience of the doctor and his team, the costs involved, such as travel and recovery, as well as safety and risks before making a decision on the procedure. Health is the most important consideration of all.
