I love reading advice columns, but I was appalled recently to read one letter writer's dilemma: he had pressured his girlfriend into cosmetic surgery that had disfigured her. There was more to the situation about which he was asking advice, but that initial problem blew me away. The idea that an individual would pursue a permanent change in appearance for a significant other's sake and then FAIL to do enough research before the procedure was absolutely incomprehensible.
So, if you're considering contacting a cosmetic surgery office, then you need to ensure you are doing it for the right reasons. Is a boyfriend or girlfriend pressuring you, or is it something you truly desire for yourself? If it's a recent desire, give it some time and plenty of consideration.
When you visit an office to garner information, make sure each member of the staff is professional, courteous, and trained. Check with both local and national organizations to find out if there are any complaints against each of the doctors you may be considering, and if there are, follow up by reading reviews and weighing what they have to say.
Many cosmetic surgeons offer free consultations, so once you have narrowed down your selections, take advantage of the opportunity to interview your potential surgeon. After all, you're their employer, and you would be discriminating and careful if you were the boss in any other situation.
As you discuss your ideal procedure and its results with your surgeon and other patients, be sure to ask plenty of questions about what you can expect throughout the entire process. Even safe cosmetic surgery can require extensive recovery time, so you will need to plan accordingly with work and family.
Because insurance rarely, if ever, covers plastic surgery, you also need to thoroughly investigate financing options. The cosmetic surgery office should be able to work out a payment plan based on your budget, but be sure you finalize it and work the expense into your normal cash flow so you can anticipate it every month.
If you are feeling concerned about undergoing surgery, then discuss noninvasive options, as many experienced surgeons are exploring the latest in technology and treatment, such as injections that break up and dissolve fatty tissues or strengthen sagging skin.
Any time you go under the knife, you face a degree of risk, so read all medical forms carefully. If you don't understand something, just ask. Professional office staff will be glad to explain anything to you so you can proceed with peace of mind.
