Corrective Surgery: Do's and Don'ts
If you are considering corrective surgery to fix your physical appearance, you may be expecting too much. Here are some things that you should consider before you commit to altering your appearance permanently.


    /Cosmetic Surgery News Articles/ - BEVERLY HILLS, CA, February 21, 2008 - Don't expect corrective surgery to fix all of your problems.
Cosmetic surgery can help improve your self confidence and your overall outlook, but it cannot change your attitude. It can't make you happy if you are depressed; it can't make you successful or popular. It can only change the way you look.

Often times, if your expectations are too high, you may end up disappointed with the results of your surgery. It is important to realize that this is a cosmetic fix, not a life fix.

"Before you decide to have corrective surgery, always try to make sure that the patient's expectations are realistic," says Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, a cosmetic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California.

People who have suffered a serious illness or injury may need extra time before they are ready to undergo surgery for cosmetic issues. Make sure you take the time to heal yourself first, physically and mentally.

Don't choose corrective surgery to make someone else happy.
If you choose to get a corrective procedure, do it for yourself, not for anyone else. You are the one who make the decision. You are the one who will undergo the procedure and recovery time.

Do carefully evaluate all of your options.
No matter what your issue, there are probably many options for treatment available to you. You owe it to yourself to evaluate each one carefully, and decide what is right for you, in terms of results, costs, risks, time, and other factors.

Do research the procedure.
Before committing to a procedure, it is important that you understand exactly what it entails and what to expect. Your surgeon will explain all of this to you, but a little independent research on your part is helpful to reassure you.

Do ask questions!
Even after your surgeon has explained your procedure, and you've researched it yourself, you may still have questions. Whether it's about something you didn't fully understand or something that wasn't addressed, you should always feel comfortable to ask these questions.

Your surgeon is happy to answer any questions you have. The best place to have your questions answered is during an initial consultation with an experienced cosmetic surgeon.
