Cosmetic Surgery: Pre-Consultation Checklist

Cosmetic surgery is the art of remolding the appearance of particular body parts by qualified surgeons. Usually individuals like to alter their breast, ears, eyes, face, hair, nose and abdomens. For the breasts, normal cosmetic surgery includes augmenting, reducing or remoulding 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 removing fats from the tummy.

As cosmetic surgery entails a major decision-making process, it is crucial to select a doctor that you trust. Choose a doctor that has finished at least five years of surgical training and at least 2 years in plastic surgery. Select one who is a developed and experienced surgeon that works only in licensed aesthetic clinics. Be observant to the doctor’s working habits and whether he sticks to a strict code of ethics. And finally, always make sure that your doctor places your safety first.
