Before Surgery, Consider This:

Your dream of looking and feeling better, is what your plastic surgeon is going to mould, sculpt and bring to life for you. If you are going to entrust your body to him, a number of vital questions have to be answered before going ahead with the processes that lead up to your desired procedure.

Do you really need it? is the first vital question you will need to consider. And if you do, what surgery is the one that is suitable for you. Breast augmentations, Lifts, reductions, or reconstructions are procedures you can opt for if enhancing your breasts is what you want. But if its enhancing or reconstructing your face, then any of these options like a cheek, chin or lip augmentation, or a rhytidectomy, or a rhinoplasty, or ear correction, etc. Then again there are also thigh & buttock lifts, buttock and calf augmentations, liposuction, pectoral implants (for men), tummy tucks, etc. which are the surgery options available if you want to re- shape other parts of your body.

Excellent credentials and experience maketh a praiseworthy surgeon.
Before contacting any surgeon you have been referred to by a friend, aquaintance or maybe even your own physician, play safe, run a check on him. Don’t appease your friends’ concerns, satisfy yours first. Check up on the surgeon as well as his clinic’s certification. One legitimate board that can be trusted is The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, whose members are trained exclusively in plastic surgery. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California is one such institute affiliated with this association.

Discuss the implications and possible complications that may arise.
Clinics often boast of their success in radically changing people. ‘Before surgery’ and ‘after surgery’ photographs make plastic surgery look very appealing and uncomplicated at the best of times. Risks and precautions, however, have to be something that your surgeon has to discuss with you. If you are comfortable with the clinic and surgeon you have chosen, you can rest easy with the assurance that your surgeru will be a smooth process.

Techniques and processes.
Make a point to understand what you will undergo under the knife. It can be quite useful- both emotionally as well as physically, in helping you deal with the change.
A new persona has to be nurtured and understood well to allow it to reach that added glow which cosmetic surgery seems to bring.

Our team of qualified and experienced surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California takes every effort to provide you with detailed advice on procedures like rhinoplasty, breast augmentations and reductions, tummy tucks and nose and face lifts with ease.
