Are you considering plastic surgery?
Plastic surgery is not a decision to make lightly.
Before you make a choice, here are 4 critical questions to ask yourself to help you make an informed decision.
Antony Fitton is an accredited plastic surgeon with practicing privileges at The Nuffield Health Hospital Plymouth and The Duchy Hospital Truro.
We will expect you to take time out to consider your opportunity for surgery and will expect to host a second consultation for you to ask questions and collate all the information you require ahead of treatment.
Are you considering Plastic Surgery?
Here are 4 elements you need to think about before you make a decision.
Mr Fitton will provide you with qualified advice on Plastic, Reconstructive, Aesthetic and Surgical Procedures and will endeavour to inform you of the benefits and risks of your options based on your own individual needs.
Growth
Your body height, weight, and breast size should stay the same for at least a year before seriously considering anything. This will allow us to make assess whether plastic surgery is the right avenue for you to take.
Having a healthy BMI and weight before your plastic surgery can improve your chances for a successful procedure.
What would you like to change?
Do you have a specific idea of what you want to change?
The happiest plastic surgery patients are those who use it to fix a specific issue and who are doing it as a way to normalise their body, not necessarily enhance it.
Explore why you would like a certain procedure. A nose job (or rhinoplasty) can help you breath easier or balance your face, an eyelid lift can relieve you of semi-closed eyes, while a breast reduction can relive back pain or bad posture. However, if you are hoping it will cure your mental hang ups or dislike of your appearance, please seek a therapists advice.

Your expectations
Any plastic surgery you decide to undertake will still be you, but improved.
Many people that explore having plastic surgery have unrealistic expectations of both the effects it will have on their looks, and on their life.
Antony Fitton will always consult at lease twice prior to undertaking treatment to ensure you are happy with the decision you are making and its for the right reasons.
The risks
Plastic surgery is major surgery and has the same risks as normal surgery.
You should be aware of infection, nerve damage, bleeding, scarring, and blood clots to name a few.
Some patients will need or want more plastic surgery because they’re not satisfied with the results or because there was a complication.
Our article on plastic surgery side effects is definitely worth reading.
Summary
When done right, plastic surgery respects your body while restoring your youthful appearance. Also, when done correctly, plastic surgery can augment aspects of your body in a way that is natural and complementary to your physique. Plastic surgery is enhancing your unique beauty; it’s not about making you look like a celebrity.
Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
