A healthy attitude toward cosmetic surgery

Concern with one’s physical appearance is a normal human trait. Throughout the centuries, improvement of one's appearance has been sought after through varying modes of dress and adornment, use of male and female cosmetics and beauty-enhancing products, control of diet for body weight, ingestion of vitamins, use of perfumes, fragrances and skin conditioners, and even behavioral mannerisms.

Your plastic surgeon can help you acquire a healthy attitude toward cosmetic surgery during the consultation. He will give you information to remove or lessen your fears and anxiety. He will explain the goals and limitations of plastic surgery, encourage an honest appraisal of your physical shortcomings, and estimate what kind of cosmetic improvement can be achieved through surgery.

Consulting with a Qualified Plastic Surgeon

I always say that choosing the right surgeon is the single most important decision you will make regarding your cosmetic surgery. After you are satisfied that the surgeon you are considering has the training and experience, arrange for a consultation and find out if you are comfortable with your choice.

Find a plastic surgeon whom you feel comfortable with, and discuss your needs and expectations. Ask questions and be sure to have all the facts you need in order to make an informed judgement. Be skeptical of any doctor who seems to avoid talking about his or her training and professional qualifications.

Realize that pre- and post-operative photos of the surgeon’s patients can be useful in helping you understand the surgery but are no guarantee that your results will be similar. Every individual is different.

Beware of any doctor who tells you there are no possible risks involved in surgery. There are always risks, and these should be discussed frankly.

Never allow a doctor to talk you into any procedure you don’t want. A reputable plastic surgeon will let the patient suggest what he or she wants done and then advise them on what is or is not possible.

Don’t "bargain shop" for plastic surgery. The training and experience of your surgeon is the most important factor in the success of your surgery.

The Philippines is also a great place for medical tourism since we are well known to have many qualified and well-trained doctors who have acquired their postgraduate or fellowship training from well-known institutions in the U.S.A. Because of the favorable exchange rates, costs here are remarkably lower compared to other countries like the U.S., U.K., Singapore, Australia, and South Africa.
