Why do I need to undergo a plastic surgery procedure?
This is one of the vital questions with which you need to be honest with yourself. Whether you want to undergo a procedure to slow the aging process or for reconstructive purposes, either because you have developed a defect as a result of injury or trauma or because of a congenital defect, you should be honest with yourself while answering the following questions-- Are you doing this for yourself? Or do you think that your spouse will love you more? – What is the motivation to undergo a plastic surgery procedure?
- Did someone make a comment on the flawed part of your body that’s when you decided to undergo plastic surgery or because you wanted to do something about it?
- What do you expect from plastic surgery? What are your expectations- are they realistic? Is it the way to make up for deeper personal problems, or there are just irregularities that you want to correct and feel good about yourself?
So what are realistic expectations?
It is not a big deal to have minor imperfections- When you can keep things in this perspective, you don’t blow things out of proportion. When you are not fixated on a perceived defect, you will be much more tangibly pleased with the outcome. It is also essential to keep in mind that nobody is perfect, so you will get disappointed if you expect 100% perfection. Plastic surgery can be 100% perfect, but expecting it to be 100% perfect in every situation is a wrong expectation. Talking to a qualified surgeon and being realistic is vital. Undergoing plastic surgery won’t change your life overnight- By keeping a healthy perspective about plastic surgery, you will know that it will not make you popular, rich, or famous overnight. A plastic surgery procedure will change your looks but won’t change you from inside. However, it can give you a confidence boost. Maintaining the surgery results is vital- Like anything else, you will need to maintain it after the procedure. For instance, if you are getting tummy tuck or thighs done, you must understand that you will have to do regular exercise and eat healthy to keep your weight in check. Similarly, if you get a facelift done, you cannot skip your nighttime skin moisturizing routine. You won’t see results as soon as you are off the operating table- Patience is the key in any cosmetic procedure. There is a recovery period of any procedure to heal, which may immobilize the affected body part or restrict your day-to-day activities. However, it will be worth-a-wait if you allow things to settle in place patiently.Trust your plastic surgery procedure to Dr. Nilay Shah
