RECOVERY TIME AND CARE<br />

When it comes to cosmetic surgery,<br />

be sure that you find out ahead of<br />

time what sort of aftercare might be<br />

required. You should know whether or<br />

not you will need to arrange for outside<br />

assistance during your recovery time.<br />

For smokers, quitting a month before<br />

having a procedure done is the wisest<br />

move. Some surgeons refuse to work on<br />

anyone who does smoke. Smoking can<br />

cause reduced blood flow, making recovery<br />

time much more difficult.<br />

THE SURGERY DECISION MAKING PROCESS<br />

Never be talked into something you do not truly want. Many types of cosmetic surgery<br />

are simple and can be performed quickly. Sadly, this may lead to some doctors pressing you<br />

to stop thinking about it and to just go for it. Retain full control over the decision making<br />

process. If you feel rushed, tell your doctor you need more time to make your decision.<br />

That being said, it is vital that you don’t walk into your surgeon’s office with a single<br />

procedure in mind. An excellent surgeon with a lot of experience should be able to give<br />

you options that will fit your needs. Your doctor has much more experience than you and<br />

can offer you many suggestions for getting the outcome you desire.<br />
