Having a cosmetic procedure is unlike any other surgical experience. It’s
important to note that it will take some time before you feel like yourself again after surgery. For reasons that we can only guess, cosmetic surgery causes a roller coaster of emotional experiences in the immediate postoperative period. So many of our hopes, desires, and expectations are associated with the way we feel about our looks, therefore plastic surgery can cause emotional turmoil as we go through the stages of healing.

In my previous post, I started to provide a list of medical evaluations you should have done in preparation for any kind of cosmetic procedure. A successful surgery is dependent upon your health. As a continuation of the previous list, here are additional areas you should make sure

What is a “face lift?” Although many think that the procedure is an overall rejuvenation of the entire face, the actual plastic surgery definition is a rejuvenation of the cheek and jowl areas of the face. To perform a face lift, an incision is made in front of your ear and extends underneath your earlobe toward the back of your scalp.
