Whether this change in appearance is inevitable for you?

Are you trying to change yourself to impress someone else?

Is your need for a corrective procedure worth the risk and cost?

Answer to the above questions is important as this change would not always be as expected. You can have some corrections but finally it will depend on your body type and you can’t expect a miracle to happen. If the reason for surgery is correction in wrinkles, complexion, or scar removal then try using external applications first for convincing results. Changing your diet and nutrition may also work in some cases. So, make sure that the surgery is the only option before going for it.

Validate your expectations

You cannot expect being somebody else with this surgery as it is practically impossible. Talk to your surgeon about what you expect and check for his or her opinion on it.

How long would the surgery take?

How long would be the hospitalization?

When can I resume back to work?

What is the maximum risk?

What are the total expenses?

What would be the expenses if I have to undergo repeated treatment?

In certain procedures, the healing time is quite long and you will have to plan your work schedule accordingly. Again knowing the risk factor would also reduce your anxiety as you are already aware of the maximum damage that can happen and there are no surprises waiting for you ahead.
