Every one wants to be beautiful. If they are already beautiful, they want to
become more beautiful. Increasing demand for perfect beauty and the advancement
of technology in medicine had given birth to cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery
is a surgical method which enhances your physical appearance. It can be done
either to correct your appearance which has undergone damage after an accident,
or to simply enhance your facial and physical features, which tend to
deteriorate with age.
Who uses Cosmetic surgery?
Just about anyone who wants to improve his/her look goes for cosmetic surgery.
It is not limited to women. According to a survey 11% of men also opt for
cosmetic surgery. It can be a painful and an expensive procedure. It is not
covered under your insurance policy. Hence cosmetic surgery is considered to be
the domain of the rich and famous.
Where can I get it done?
Check your local listings or ask your family physician for links to a good and
reputed plastic or cosmetic surgeon. Always make sure that the surgeon is
certified by either The American board of plastic surgery, or the American board
of cosmetic surgery.
What do I need to go through?
Every one is scared of surgery. More so if it is done on your face area. Ask the
doctor about the pros and cons involved in the procedure. Ask him his experience
in the field. Every cosmetic surgery may have certain risks involved. It is
always good to be clear about the entire procedure before you start.
Ask the doctor how long you need to be away from work, will it be painful, and
about the best and worst case scenarios post cosmetic surgery. He may have an
album displaying pictures of previous patients if they have given him permission
to use it. Check the before and after pictures to give you a brief idea about
how you may look post cosmetic surgery.
What it does not do?
Remember, getting a facelift or a nose job done does not change the person
within you. You are still the same person from inside.
