Do not hide any clinical data from your physicians. It can be important, even though it may seem irrelevant to you.
If you are thinking about having cosmetic surgery for whatever reason, you should take into account a number of things that you should and shouldn’t do before the procedure:
• Analyse all of the possibilities: Illusions and despair can lead us to making rash decisions in many important moments in our lives.
• Before the operation check with the ones you love and find out what are the risks involved. Family and close friends should help you to see through the different perspectives. As with the desire for the surgery, it can be easy for you to overlook things that can be important.
• Never undergo a cosmetic procedure to appease someone or because someone asked you to do so. Cosmetic and plastic surgery are meant to change you and only you, not others. If someone believes that you should have surgery to improve your physique, this may mean they do not love or respect you enough, therefore you should consider whether it is worthwhile to have someone like that in your life.
• Do not hide any clinical data from the doctors, it may seem irrelevant to you, but it may be crucial for the success of the operation.
• The operation must be done by fully qualified professionals. There are many well recognised institutions, so there is no need to venture into the unknown and use unknown clinics in order to save yourself money. Hairdressers and beauty centres are not allowed to perform any type of surgery.
• If someone tries to talk you out of undergoing this type of procedure, don’t take it as a negative thing, on the contrary, you should see it as an advice coming from someone who truly cares about you.
• Check several different medical opinions and centres. A doctor should advise you about the benefits and consequences of such operation, and not try to sell it to you under any circumstance. You should be aware of people or institutions that provide you with impossible goals.
