Things To Consider When Planning To Have A Cosmetic Surgery

By Elise Burrows

Cosmetic surgery is the art of remolding the appearance of specific body parts by registered surgeons. Commonly individuals desire to change their breast, ears, eyes, face, hair, nose and abdomens. For the breasts, average cosmetic surgery includes augmenting, reducing or remoulding the breasts. Eye surgery includes adjusting drooping upper eyelids or taking away puffy bags beneath the eyes. Commonly, facial cosmetic surgery involves removing facial wrinkles, creases and acne scars; or modifying the form of the nose. It also includes taking out fats from the tummy.

As cosmetic surgery carries a major decision-making process, it is significant to select a doctor that you have faith with. Select a doctor that has finished at least five years of surgical training and at least 2 years in plastic surgery. Choose one who is a developed and knowledgeable surgeon that operates only in accredited aesthetic clinics. Be very keen to the doctor's working habits and whether he stands by a strict code of ethics. And lastly, always make sure that your doctor places your safety first.

This checklist will help as your guide during your cosmetic surgery consultation:

1. Is the doctor qualified?

2. Is the doctor knowledgeable and trained specifically in the field of plastic surgery?

3. How long has the doctor been doing plastic surgery?

4. Are you sure that the procedure you are about to get fits you?

5. What are the things you should do to get the best results for surgery you are planning to take?

6. Where and how will the doctor do your cosmetic surgery?

7. What is the appropriate surgical technique recommended for me?

8. How long of a recovery period can you anticipate, and will the doctor promptly attend to in case of complications during the recovery period?

9. What are the dangers and complications associated with the operation?

10. What are your options if you are unsatisfied with the cosmetic surgery?
