What Questions You Should Have Prior To Cosmetic Surgery

Posted by southernkogarah on November 11th, 2020

Cosmetic surgery is a wonderful thing that allows people to better their self-image and become more confident in the bodies that they inhabit on a daily basis. After all, loving yourself is an important part of happiness and we here at Southern Aesthetic are here to help you do just that. Of course, cosmetic procedures are still surgery and shouldn’t be rushed into under any circumstance. That’s why you should be fully prepared before going under the knife, and that’s why you should make sure all of these topics are addressed prior to your procedure. Not only do they ensure that your surgeon is highly capable, but they will make you feel at ease about the surgery you are about to undergo.

These five topics should always be brought up when discussing your cosmetic procedure with your surgeon:

1) How often does my cosmetic surgeon perform this procedure?

Since there is such a wide range of different cosmetic surgeries available, there are specialists that primarily perform certain types of procedures. You should make sure that your cosmetic surgeon regularly performs the procedure that you want done and that they know all of the current techniques. The ideal surgeon isn’t just experienced but has worked with a number of different body types. This ensures that there won’t be any surprises during the procedure itself, and our expert cosmetic surgeons will be happy to go over before and after photos of our past patients, so that you can see the amazing work that they have done in the past.

2) Will any medical conditions I have be a factor in the procedure?

At Southern Aesthetic, we want to make sure that your safety is ensured. That’s why we always need to know about any medical conditions you may have. Not every condition will have an impact on one of our elective procedures, but it will help us ensure that the surgery can be done in a safe manner.

3) What kind of anesthesia will be used for my surgery?

All cosmetic surgeries require anesthesia to be used, although what specific type is administered determines on what you are having done. Different types of surgeries require different anesthesia methods, so our Southern Aesthetic cosmetic surgeon will go over why this type is best for you. To put you at ease, we will also go into detail about who will be administering the anesthesia and what their qualifications are.

4) How much will my procedure cost after everything is done?

Cosmetic surgery is expensive, and we are well aware of that at Southern Aesthetic. That is why we are always open about pricing and how much a procedure will set you back. This will allow you to figure out if such a surgery makes sense for you financially and if you should look into less costly procedures as an alternative.

5) Is there much of a recovery time for my procedure?

After getting cosmetic surgery done, you will need to take time to heal. This often means time off work and no strenuous activity, such as lifting heavy objects. Your cosmetic surgeon will go over specific timeframes with you and explain all the precautions you will need to take to ensure an issue-free recovery. Of course, we can also discuss less invasive alternatives if the recovery time is too lengthy for your liking.
