Points To Consider Before Getting Cosmetic Surgery

By Raechelle White

Cosmetic surgery is the art of remolding the appearance of particular body parts by qualified surgeons. Usually individuals like to change their breast, ears, eyes, face, hair, nose and abdomens. For the breasts, normal cosmetic surgery consists of augmenting, reducing or remolding the breasts. Eye surgery includes adjusting drooping upper eyelids or taking away puffy bags beneath the eyes. Normally, facial cosmetic surgery involves removing facial wrinkles, creases and acne scars; or changing the form of the nose. It also includes getting rid of fats from the tummy.

As cosmetic surgery entails a major decision-making process, it is critical to choose 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. Pick Out one who is a trained and knowledgeable surgeon that works only in licensed aesthetic clinics. Stay attuned to the doctor's persona and whether he adheres to a strict code of ethics. And finally, always see to it that your doctor puts 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 will be expected of you to get the best results?

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

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

8. How long of a recuperation period can you expect, and will the doctor right away attend to in case of complications during the recovery period?

9. What are the risks and intricacies associated with the process?

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