Plastic Surgery Consumer Alert – Cool Cosmetic Surgery Quiz:

When two renowned cosmetic surgery boards unite to generate consumer awareness, the result is a fab site called Beauty for Life. A joint effort of the ASPS and the ASAPS, this portal aims to get the consumer know better about any cosmetic surgery decision he has to make.

The site prickled my curiosity and I popped over for a dekko. What I seen left me suitably impressed. I had to create an account first and enter in details like age, height, weight, skin tone and gender.

My lifestyle was then analyzed which included smoking habits, diets, exercise, sun exposure, etc. In the next step, just like how a good plastic surgery consultant would have done, they tried to isolate my motivation for a surgery and the part/parts of the body I wanted to improve.

The comfort level indicator was a nice touch too and checked whether I would be alright with a surgery or would rather prefer a minimally invasive procedure. The part/parts of the body that need work were then further analyzed to create my beauty plan which was delivered to my mailbox.

Very spiffy and very easy. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California found Beauty for Life a completely handy tool for first time exponents of plastic surgery. While it does not give the professional and personalized help that cosmetic surgery consultants and specialists can give, it does a very good job of giving the candidate an idea.

One part of the website that I found really good was the ‘Changing with Aging’ section where all the cosmetic surgery procedures that are suitable for a particular age group are indicated alongside their suitability for that age. Now that would point out to teenagers especially, the viability of having a breast augmentation.

All in all, I would certainly advise patients to get an idea of their surgery from a site like this. But make sure that you take a second opinion from a plastic surgery specialist before you decide on a particular surgery. Our advanced surgical institute can help you out here.
