I came up with a mnemonic for safe cosmetic surgery. Today I will cover the "SAFE" part of the expression.

S: Summarize the modifications you want to see in yourself.

Make a detailed list, and even diagrams, of which feature( s) you do not like or want to enhance. Photographs of features can be used to communicate your concepts with your cosmetic surgeon. However, keep in mind that pictures are only referral points. Features you may find attractive on somebody else may not look natural on you. Try to be as particular as possible when listing the modifications you wish to see.

A: Assess your preparedness for surgical treatment.

Questions to ask yourself are: "Am I truly ready? Am I mentally, physically and financially gotten ready for surgery? Do I have appropriate time set aside for [source] sources tell me correct healing?"

It is best to have relative stability in your life prior to going through plastic surgery. If you have major issues such as a current loss of an enjoyed one, divorce, or unexpected job or profession modifications, it might not be the right time to consider plastic surgery. The following is a list of points that will assist you decide whether you are prepared to go through cosmetic surgery:

1. "I want to look great and feel much better about myself."

Some people feel and look better after buying new clothing or a brand-new automobile, having sex, or eating a terrific meal. I do suggest that if the wanted enhancements can be gotten through diet plan and exercise, this need to be tried initially.

2. "Another person is grumbling about my look."

This is not an excellent factor to have plastic surgery. "Appeal is in the eye of the beholder" (Hungerford). What one person sees as a physical particular in need of enhancement may look like your best function to another.

3. "I am depressed."

This is not an excellent factor to contemplate cosmetic surgery. As discussed earlier, psychological stability is the key to having effective surgical treatment.

4. "I need it to conserve my task, marriage or relationship."

While one's job or marital relationship may be well worth conserving, going through surgical treatment is certainly not the answer. If you think your task or marriage remains in jeopardy, attempt to get to the core of the issue. Make a point of speaking with your employer, other half, or better half. You may discover that as soon as things are resolved or are fixing you might no longer wish to have cosmetic surgery.

5. "I can see an issue."

This might be an excellent factor to undergo surgery. However, I advise caution as it could cause an ongoing desire for more surgery just because you think you see a problem.

6. "I anticipate enhancement however not excellence."

This is a good beginning point for anybody thinking about cosmetic surgery. There is nothing incorrect with wanting to improve what you already have.

7. "I have support from my family and friends."

Having support from loved ones is necessary when undergoing any surgery. Keep in mind that looking for support is various from wanting approval.

8. "I am solvent."

Plastic surgery is a luxury. It is unworthy having plastic surgery only to be left in debt. Not just do you need to economically prepare for the surgical treatment, however you likewise require to prepare for the possibility, not likely as it might be, of problems, which might add to recovery time along with to financial duties.

9. "Do I have the time?"

When evaluating their healing, most patients consider merely the length of the real operation. I am continuously advising patients that surgery consists of assessment, preoperative preparation, the operation itself and the recovery duration. Physical recovery alone can last anywhere from one to three weeks and, in some cases, longer. Emotional and psychological modification may take a minimum of four to six weeks.

Utilize these concepts as standards when thinking about cosmetic surgery. Do not hesitate to add to this list.

F: Find the ideal cosmetic surgeon.

I can not worry this enough: There are many extremely certified doctors currently in practice; there are lots of inferior medical professionals practicing too. Many sources are available to assist you find an excellent cosmetic surgeon. Avoid counting on the Yellow Pages or similar marketing. Instead, acquire a recommendation from a family doctor who understands surgeon with the right qualifications and reputation. A pal, colleague or relative who has had the exact same procedure you are considering can be an excellent reference, particularly if they are pleased with their result. A referral from your local or national plastic surgery society is another source, as well as a recommendation from a regional healthcare facility or medical association.

The American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ASPRS) has a complimentary nationwide referral service that is readily available to anybody who is interested. You can call (800) 766-4955, or compose to ASPRS, 444 East Algonquin Road, Arlington Heights, IL 60005-4664. In California, you can call the California Society of Plastic Surgeons.

E: Evaluating the surgeon.

Cosmetic surgery is still surgical treatment, and once in an excellent while things can fail. If this takes place, a qualified surgeon can, and usually does, keep you out of severe problem. Throughout and after a surgery, a certified cosmetic surgeon can determine and treat problems before they end up being major. This is why it is important to take the time to properly examine prospective cosmetic surgeons. Examine credentials and credentials totally. Call or visit your regional medical library and speak with The Directory site of Medical Specialists, which notes board-certified cosmetic surgeons by state and details each surgeon's education, training, and memberships in expert organizations. ASPRS is an excellent source to use. To be a member, ASPRS surgeons are licensed by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, have finished undergraduate and medical school, in addition to an approved basic surgical treatment program of a minimum of three years, and an authorized plastic surgery residency of 2 to 3 years. Board accreditation is achieved after conclusion of a composed and an oral evaluation. Look for the ASPRS symbol when selecting your cosmetic surgeon.

During your consultation, scan the office for plaques displaying diplomas and board-certification documents. The majority of cosmetic surgeons take pride in their accomplishments and are happy to show them. In addition, you can ask the medical professional's staff for details. Make sure you are well-informed about the procedure in question so, when discussing it with the physician, you comprehend the medical terms. Information concerning recognized surgeons, facilities, and offered operative procedures might be accessed through the internet.

Do not hesitate to ask any questions-what you do not know can injure you! ASPRS recommends asking a cosmetic surgeon the following questions:

- Are you accredited by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?

- The length of time have you been in practice?

- Do you have hospital privileges to perform this treatment? At which health center

- Where will you perform my surgical treatment?

- What are the dangers involved with my treatment?

- The number of procedures of this type have you carried out?

- May I get in touch with some of your previous clients who have had this procedure?

- The length of time of a healing duration can I anticipate?

- Will I be needed to take time off from work? For for how long?

- Just how much will my treatment expense?

At a minimum, verify that the surgeon is board accredited, carries out surgical treatment in an accredited center, and is suggested by somebody you know and trust.
