There are a couple of points that need to be clarified before undergoing any cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery can make significant physical and psychological changes to a patient. What are your expectations from cosmetic surgery? Please discuss all your expectations and or concerns with your surgeon. A face to face consultation is a key factor before undergoing any surgical procedure. Please be sure to ask any and all questions you may have about your procedure, to be sure you have a full understanding of all aspects of your specific surgery. Post operative downtime is another important key factor to consider. The down time required for each type of surgery is different and will require unique aftercare. When will you be able to resume your day to day activities and return to work? This all will be fully and expertly explained to you by your plastic surgeon, enabling you to make the most informed decision. Your plastic Surgeon's advice and instructions are important for pre and post surgery. It is important to adhere to them all. You will remain in regular contact and receive first class aftercare throughout your entire recovery period. Do not follow the advice of anyone but your surgeon. Results of cosmetic surgery become further evident with time. Your final results may take some month's to settle in and become the final expected finish.
