Cosmetic & plastic surgery guide


Cosmetic surgery is very expensive and if you are thinking of having it for purely cosmetic reasons then once you have had one procedure you could then see something else you don't like and be tempted to go for another surgery. When this happens where do you stop?



However if you are having the surgery due to medical reasons this is another story and while the decision will be a little easier to make you will probably still wonder if you are doing the right thing by having it. Anyone who is thinking of having cosmetic surgery should ask themselves a few questions before taking the drastic step.

Questions you should ask are

* How will the surgery change my life, will it make a difference to how I feel about myself?

* Am I only considering surgery for reasons of vanity?

* Can I afford to have the surgery?

* Where does cosmetic surgery fit on my priority scale?

* Do I have realistic expectations of the change the surgery can make to my life?

* Will I be able to stop with just the one procedure?

* Am I aiming for perfection due to vanity?

* Will the surgery give me what I need?

Of course even after having asked and answered these questions you still might be unsure if you should have cosmetic surgery or not, listed below is a questionnaire that you can take. There is no right or wrong answers and you will only benefit from taking the questionnaire by being absolutely honest with your answers.

1. What do I actually dislike about my appearance?

2. Why does this particularly bother me and does it bother me at times more than others?

3. Do my feelings about my appearance stop me from taking part in a normal healthy relationship?

4. Do my feelings stop me from taking part in normal activities?

5. Do I hide the feature I dislike from others?

6. Why have I decided to have the surgery now?

7. What expectations do I have for the surgery?

8. How do I see my life changing after the surgery?

9. Can I think of any disadvantage to the surgery?

10. Do I think people will act differently to me after the surgery?

11. What have my friends and families reactions been to my surgery?

12. What problems does your dislike cause you now?

It is worth taking time going over the questionnaire and answering as honestly as you can, if you have a close friend or family member then you could discuss it with them too. You should certainly talk over any concerns you have with the cosmetic surgeon at the initial consultation and talk with them about your expectations for the outcome of the surgery.
