1. Several Things You Must Consider When Thinking About
Cosmetic Surgery
Following careful consideration, you will be able to make a firm decision in regards to cosmetic
surgery. How should you go forward from this point? You have lots of decisions yet to make. It
can take a great deal of preparation if you are considering cosmetic surgery. This article will
help you to know what you need to do to prepare.
TIP! Talk to a trusted friend or family member about your plastic surgery procedure. Let them know what type of post-surgical support you will
need.
Avoid having your mind made up on what procedure you need before ever consulting with a
surgeon. A qualified professional can provide you with several different options, some you might
have never considered. Talk to your doctor and use his expertise to get exactly what you want.
Past Clients
TIP! Cosmetic procedures have many of the same risks as normal surgeries, so be sure to research the background of your doctor before
making a decision to go forward. Ensure they are licensed and they have the correct credentials as required by the laws in your area.
Make sure to ask any doctor you are considering to see a portfolio of his past clients. Give a
good look to their before and after images, and decide if you’d be happy with the kind of results
the surgeon has achieved. Ask as many questions as you want, and ask if you can speak to any
past clients to find out more about the entire experience. If the doctor will accommodate your
request, you know he or she is confident in their ability.
Make sure your doctor lets you see photos of their patients’ results. You can get an idea of a
surgeon’s skill and expertise by looking at a patient both before the procedure, just after and a
few months down the road. This will let you know what you can expect from this surgeon.
TIP! Not all people who get plastic surgery have chosen to do so. If you want to get cosmetic surgery due to physical changes brought on by
medical illness or an accident, do not set yourself up for disappointment by being ill-informed.
As you are consulting with the surgeon, ask him to itemize the pricing of everything for you.
Also, investigate whether or not a payment plan is an option if you do not have the full amount
available. It is important to have an understanding with the doctor regarding the cost of the
procedure.

2. Before the procedure, make certain you understand what to expect during your recovery time.
Certain procedures require an extensive recovery period, which may require you to take time off
work. Have a clear understanding of how much time you actually need in order to prevent
putting stress on yourself before it’s time.
TIP! Before you actually decide on a surgical cosmetic procedure, look at non-surgical options, if possible. Surgery is risky, expensive, and
requires a significant recovery period.
Of course you will want to see photos of the surgeon’s work, but be aware that they will
probably only represent the best outcomes. Some doctors may show pictures of surgeries that
were not as successful as others. If the photos shown are not acceptable, you should try to find
a different surgeon.
Speak with others who have gone through the process you are planning to engage in. There
may be things you can learn that your surgeon has not told you. Ask them the total cost of their
surgeries, the overall results and the length of their recoveries.
TIP! As you search for the right plastic surgeon, seek out those that specialize in your type of procedure. A doctor may have a stellar reputation,
but have little experience with the operation you desire.
It’s important not to decide on cosmetic surgery when you’re being overly emotional.
Recovering from surgery requires a great deal of energy, and emotional issues will prolong
recovery and make it more difficult. The fact that you are healing more slow may even add to
the depression as well.
If the cost concerns you, look for discounts online. Many websites, such as Groupon, for
example, offer people great discounts on cosmetic procedures. Read the coupon fully, though,
prior to purchase. There might be conditions to qualify for these discounts. It is important to look
at the fine print, which often requires you to be a first-time customer, or have the procedure
done during a specific time period.
TIP! Look into whether or not your doctor carries malpractice insurance. You will want to get compensated if something were to go wrong while
undergoing cosmetic surgery.
Before you commit to a cosmetic procedure, review the issue of patient satisfaction with your
doctor. This will give you the assurance that you need in case things went wrong. While getting
your money back is rarely possible, make sure you understand the policy of your physician
when additional procedures are needed to achieve the results you wanted.
If you smoke and plan to undergo plastic surgery, you should try to quit 30 days before the
scheduled surgery. Some surgeons refuse to work on anyone who does smoke. Cigarettes

3. delay the healing process because your blood flow is decreased.
TIP! Ask the surgeon to see pictures of his past work on other patients both before their surgeries and after. Although this may be helpful, it is
no guarantee.
The final price of your surgery may change and you must fully understand that possibility. There
are additional fees for anesthesia, the location of the procedure and other fees which can vary
by location. Make sure you receive a full disclosure regarding the medical costs prior to
proceeding. Do not agree to the surgery until all costs have been fully disclosed in writing.
Anyone contemplating a cosmetic procedure needs to equip themselves with a strong
understanding of recovery times and processes. Being aware of how long the procedure will last
will make it so that there are no surprises on your part.
TIP! In your discussions with your physician, ask about all included services and associated costs. There are a lot of doctors that will charge you
for the anesthesia, separate from the rest of the cost.
Your life can change dramatically when you change your appearance, whether the change is
big or small. Be sure to make the smartest decision you can. Using these tips and doing some
research on your own will ensure that you get the best results
