Having a plastic surgery procedure requires physical and emotional support – which means you need to plan ahead! You will more than likely have at least a couple of loved ones or good friends helping with existing commitments in the beginning as you recover. The more prepared you are prior to the surgery, the easier it will be for everyone during this recovery period.

Plastic Surgery Health Quiz: Are You Healthy Enough?

3/21/2018

It’s important that you don’t rely too much on age to assess your overall health when considering surgery. That means that you shouldn’t assume that because you’re under forty, you’re healthy enough for plastic surgery, or that because you’re older, that you’re not. Age is relative and plenty of people up to the age of sixty-five have plastic surgery all the time. The rule at our practice is that if you’re over the age of sixty-five, we’ll do your surgery in the hospital where we can observe you overnight afterward.

It's Not a Weight Loss Solution - Understanding Your BMI

Plastic surgery cannot make an obese person skinny. What plastic surgery can do is remove problem areas of fat that you have trouble getting rid of with diet and exercise. It can also remove loose skin that occurs with aging, after losing weight, or after childbirth. But it’s unrealistic to think that plastic surgery can make someone who’s very overweight look thin.

Mentally Recovering from Plastic Surgery

​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.
