What is the purpose of cosmetic surgery?
The goal of cosmetic surgical intervention is to improve the appearance, therefore, to increase the patient's self-esteem and self-confidence.
A cosmetic surgical procedure can be performed in any area of the face and body.
Before you go to a plastic surgeon, you need to understand what will happen before, immediately after the procedure and understand what results you can expect.
Remember, many physical characteristics can be changed successfully, but not all - the more realistic your expectations are, the more satisfied you will be with the results.
You can transform your visual appearance with cosmetic surgery, but it is important to be ready to face these changes internally. Before consulting a cosmetic surgeon, discuss with yourself the reason why you want to change your appearance.
It is recommended to consider the following factors:
- Take into account the recommendations of the cosmetic surgeon;
