Have realistic expectations.
Plastic surgery can improve people’s appearance and boost their self-confidence, but it is not a necessary guarantee for a lasting relationship, a better paying job or a more fulfilled life. However, if they want to lift their flabby breasts, tighten their loose chin, or improve their hooked nose, they’ll probably be happy with the result as long as they do their homework.
More and more doctors, including cardiologists and internists, are performing cosmetic procedures. In the event that a prospective surgeon has not made it to the board in plastic surgery or in a desired procedure, patients should keep searching. Plastic surgeons are required to complete 50 hours of continuous medical training each year to ensure they are up-to-date, and take regular performance exams and record patient results, to maintain their certification.
Evaluate the facility.
Aside from checking a doctor’s credentials, patients should ensure that the procedure is performed in a licensed facility such as a medical center or hospital. Places like an office building, a mall, or a private home (like a cosmetic surgery house party) don’t have enough equipment to handle any complications.
Consider the time.
People can have facial (such as rhinoplasty/nose job) at any time, but when it comes to surgical procedures on the body, it is better to wait until they have a family, after giving birth and nursing babies, as these dramatic consequences have changes in the body. To get the most out of the procedure, it’s best to wait so that prolapse caused by pregnancy would benefit from the lift.
Saving for the costs.
Plastic surgery can cost a lot and is not insured. Also, even if they get a separate policy, health insurance doesn’t normally cover complications from cosmetic procedures. Patients cannot fund the surgery with flexible spending dollars. However, this is an area where people cannot take the shortcut and go for bargain prices, even if it means waiting until they can afford to go through with the procedure.
Consider the risks.
Plastic surgery can be an elective procedure, but it is not without risks. Whatever it takes, such as getting general anesthesia (with drugs that put you to sleep) or local anesthesia, it carries certain risks that will be discussed with the doctor beforehand. Possible complications during surgery are wound separation, infection and failure to achieve the desired result.
Be patient during recovery.
It takes time to recover from plastic surgery, so they need to be patient. There will be swelling and bruising around the affected areas and it may take weeks to months for the skin to adjust to its new shape. They should also take time off from work and other responsibilities when necessary. They should talk to their surgeon about what to expect after the procedure.
Think about nonsurgical options.
Non-invasive procedures can carry some risks and so patients may want a temporary solution before choosing a permanent solution. Nevertheless, temporary solutions such as fillers may cost more than surgery in the long run.
Think in advance.
A person’s appearance continues to change over time, so it can be assumed that after 5 to 10 years some people will want to undergo different procedures. That said, no one wants to get caught up in the vicious cycle of striving to look perfect.
