Getting The Best: A Consumer Guide To Cosmetic Surgery

Before you make the decision to have cosmetic surgery such as rhinoplasty or breast implants there are many factors to consider

. Cost is a determining element in the type of treatment and results you can achieve. You must be sure to research your doctor and surgeon before you commit to any. You have to think about the reasons for getting cosmetic surgery and ensure you have realistic expectations. Finally, you must be aware of the risks associated with this kind of treatment. There are many ways to obtain this information and to ensure you are an informed consumer.

As you begin to look into cosmetic surgery you will notice there are several organisations that are able to assist you in making your decisions and to become an informed patient.

Find the Right Surgeon

If money is no option, then you will be sure to locate the best cosmetic surgeon money can buy. Recommendations from friends and patients will be a good resource along with discussions with people in the industry.

However, if like most people, money is a concern, then you will have to research which surgeons you can afford.

It is important to assess the results and reputation of your surgeon.

Reasons and Expectations

You must ask yourself why you want cosmetic surgery in the first place. Cosmetic surgery is still invasive surgery and it carries all the risks associated with any form of surgery. So the reasons you should want to take this risk should be analysed and discussed with not only your doctor but with your friends and family. Ask yourself if changing your appearance will help you with the way you feel. Make sure you understand fully what is motivating you to take this drastic step.

You must go forward with realistic expectations when it comes to cosmetic surgery. You should have achievable and definable goals so that both you and your surgeon know exactly what you want. If you know what you want, then your surgeon will be able to tell you on the outset, whether or not your goals are achievable or not with consideration to your skin type and bone structure.

It is important that you understand there are no guaranteed results.

What are the Risks?

Every one knows that with all forms surgery there is risk. You are not immune to these risks just because you are healthy and there is nothing 'wrong'.

Because cosmetic surgery by nature is reshaping or changing your body in some way, then there is also room for the risk that the surgeon might not change or reshape you correctly. This is why you should know and be able to explain and give examples to your surgeon, of what you want exactly.

With implants such as breast augmentation and facial implants, there is the risk that your body may reject the implant or that the implant may rupture or move. With delicate procedures around the face, there is the risk of scarring and infection both of which may leave permanent marks on your skin.

This is only a small example of the risks associated with cosmetic surgery. You must only under take this kind of treatment if you are sure about your motivation, sure about the surgeon; their experience and their proven results, sure about our expectation and that you understand fully the risks involved.
