Cosmetic surgery has experienced a great surge in popularity in recent years.
New technologies allow surgeons to perform complex operations and to get better results.
This article is filled with tips about plastic surgery and will help you to make informed decisions.
If you have already decided on one surgery or another, and it is coming soon, there is some preparing
you need to do. One of the most important things to consider is your pre-op diet.
You want to avoid gaining or losing too much weight in this period as it can change things for
your doctor.
Cosmetic surgery will always require at least one day of recovery.
Many times the recovery period will be much longer. Ensure that you have planned these days out, including who will assist you and especially how you will maintain
your expenses when you are away from work and salary.
Plastic surgery that is intended to repair previous damage is
referred to as reconstructive surgery. Talking about reconstructive surgery will help everyone understand what this procedure is about and you will not be stereotyped for your use of plastic surgery.
During your pre-surgery consultation with your cosmetic surgeon, you will want
to discuss anesthesia. It is important to know that a qualified anesthetist will be administering your anesthesia, and monitoring your health
during the procedure. You will also want to discuss the various anesthesia options that
are available to you.
One very important thing to consider when deciding on whether, or not to have plastic surgery is to determine
what the risks are. This is very important because, you want to make sure that your health comes first.
You don't want to put yourself in a position for any potential health hazards.
While it can be easy to overlook, make sure you investigate the surgery center in addition to the surgeon. The place that the procedure is going to be performed at should be licensed, or accredited. Discuss this with the doctor. If you find out that the center does not have one of these qualifications, rethink your decision to have your procedure performed there.
During surgery it is quite possible for patients to lose a lot of blood. Of course, bleeding is natural with all sorts of surgery, but the nature of cosmetic work can make it especially troublesome. Bleeding may begin during the course of surgery or even afterwards. Bleeding that is excessive may lead to blood pools under the skin requiring additional surgery. Thus, you need to talk with your doctor about the possibility of excessive bruising and bleeding.
Speak with others who have gone through the process you are planning to engage in. They could tell you things your surgeon won't.
Try to determine the costs involved and how long the road was to recovery.
You may want to join a support group and attend meeting both
before and after your cosmetic procedures.
These groups will help you get an idea of what to expect
after your procedure and will allow you to speak with others who have had the procedure done before.
These groups meet in many areas around the country.
You should be realistic in your expectations of the results of plastic
surgery. These surgeries are limited, even though sometimes
it seems they can perform miracles. Although cosmetic surgery can alter your physical appearance, it cannot help with any psychological issues you may be
having in relation to body perception. Your issues may not
be resolved by simply changing your appearance. You may want
to speak with a professional to get help specifically with your particular issues.
If you want to have plastic surgery, you should investigate all the possible side effects first.
There are always risks involved when you
have surgery, and having cosmetic surgery is no different.
The only way to make an informed decision is to know what you can expect and what might happen.
Watch for surgeons who advertise themselves as "board certified", but do not specify what board.
Any licensed physician can legally perform plastic surgery, even without certification from the Board
of Plastic Surgery. They may be Board-certified in
another area, entirely unrelated to plastic, or cosmetic surgery.
Ask for certification specifics.
Plastic surgery decisions should not be taken lightly
by anyone. Make sure to educate yourself before entering into any
type of surgery. Ask the right questions of your physicians.
Doing so will help to ensure that you remain safe during your procedure, and satisfied after your procedure is
done. |
