There are several important factors that come into play when deciding whether plastic surgery is the right option for you. One of the most important factors is your health.

It is important, before considering any surgical operation that you are in good general health and within seven pounds of what you see as your ideal weight. Being in good health greatly reduces the risk of complications occurring during surgery and leads to a speedy recovery.

Next, you need to ask yourself what your motivations are. People who have plastic surgery generally find that the surgery enhances their overall appearance and self-esteem. You should be able to discuss the problem or problems that concern you and have some idea of what changes you are looking for. Your expectations should be realistic. Plastic surgery is both a science and an art, neither of which are perfect. Set reasonable goals as to the result you wish to achieve and thoroughly discuss these goals during your initial consultation.
