Plastic surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures that treat both genetic and acquired conditions of the head, face, neck, upper and lower body. Plastic surgeons have an understanding of both the physiological and psychological challenges of specific issues for which people seek plastic surgery. When a patient visits a plastic surgeon, she engages in a discussion with the surgeon about personal physical issues and desired effects.
To have plastic surgery, patients usually first undergo a thorough examination to determine whether they are a good candidate for the specific cosmetic procedure. Typical requirements include a healthy body that is free of diseases and health conditions that may interfere with recovery and proper healing of surgery wounds. Additionally, patients must be mentally and emotionally equipped to deal with the eventual outcome of the surgery. Each surgery is different, resulting in possible issues of asymmetry or unwanted outcomes. With surgery comes the risk of complications. Infection and negative reactions to anesthesia may be experienced in a minority of cases
A successful plastic surgery procedure results in a heightened self-image and greater confidence. Eliminating excessive skin after extreme weight loss or decreasing abdominal fat through a tummy tuck are just a few of the many plastic surgery procedures that help people to feel more comfortable with their appearance. Plastic surgery is not to be substituted for healthy diet and exercise habits that are key for optimal health.
