Introduction: v
Our society places a high value
on looking young and fit. Today, men of all ages and all walks of life
are requesting plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons. Cosmetic surgery is
performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve
the patient's appearance and self-esteem. Cosmetic surgery is usually
not covered by health insurance because it is elective. v
Emotional stability is the
primary factor to be considered before any aesthetic surgery is
performed. A "new body" does not guarantee a new life or an
end to all personal problems. It is mostly the mental attitude of the
individual that determines a successful outcome. v
If
you're considering cosmetic plastic surgery, please ask your plastic
surgeon for further information about the particular procedure and what
you can expect. Your doctor will also evaluate your health, conduct a
physical exam, take pre-operative photographs, and explain which
surgical techniques are most appropriate for you. You'll discuss the
type of anesthesia to be used, the type of facility where the surgery
will be performed, the possible risks, and the costs involved. Although
scars are the inevitable results of any surgery, your surgeon will make
every effort to make the scars as inconspicuous as possible. v
Surgical fees vary widely
depending on the length and complexity of the procedure. There will also
be fees charged by the anaesthetist and the hospital. You should discuss
fees with your surgeon before the procedure v
One should always keep in mind
that the desired result is improvement, not perfection.
