Nip/Tuck? 5 Important Things to Consider Before Getting Plastic Surgery

March 11, 2019

Plastic surgery isn’t as common as a trip to the dentist, but it’s not far behind. In 2016, Americans dropped more than $16 billion on cosmetic procedures.

Breast augmentation is the most popular plastic surgery. But liposuction and nose jobs are also popular.

If you know someone who got plastic surgery and is happy with the results, you may be asking yourself, “Should I get plastic surgery?” That depends on a few factors.

Keep reading to find out more about the questions you must answer before you go under the knife.

1. Why Are You Getting It?

If you’re going to get plastic surgery, you shouldn’t feel ashamed or embarrassed about it. That doesn’t mean you have to tell everyone you meet that you got work done. It does mean that you should feel comfortable with your reasons for the procedure.

Tabloids treat celebrity plastic surgery as a scandalous secret. But is plastic surgery bad? It’s not, but it makes more sense in some cases than others.

If you’re doing it because your boyfriend says he doesn’t like your nose, that’s a bad reason. You should not get the surgery, but you should get a new boyfriend. You deserve a healthy relationship.

2. What Will the Results Look Like?

In most cases, you want results that look natural. Be wary of surgeons who want to make you look like a cartoon character.

You also should have realistic expectations. If you want a new nose, you should start by looking at nose job before & after photos. The “after” photos may not like quite the way you expect.

3. What Are Possible Complications?

All types of plastic surgery involve some kind of risk. Some surgeries are riskier than others. Your doctor should give you a clear idea of any complications that might arise.

Also talk about what happens if the surgery doesn’t go as intended. If your nose doesn’t look the way you thought it would, what would your next step be?

Find examples of both plastic surgery gone right and plastic surgery gone right. Try to imagine how you would feel if the worst-case scenario occurred.

4. Is Plastic Surgery Worth It?

You should know that your health insurance won’t cover your procedure if it’s considered elective. Reconstructive surgery is more likely to get covered.

That means you could be paying thousands of dollars out of pocket for your work. Ask yourself if the long-term results will be worth what’s at least a short-term financial setback.

5. How Do You Expect to Feel Afterwards?

Plastic surgery is not going to make you feel like a celebrity the minute you wake up in the recovery room. You aren’t going to feel like a new person. Instead, you’re likely to feel like the same person, albeit with a slightly different body.

Good plastic surgery can enhance your life. But it doesn’t guarantee anything. You shouldn’t expect it to.

Should I Get Plastic Surgery?

Asking “Should I get plastic surgery?” must be the beginning of a conversation rather than the end of one. You should get input from as many people as possible, including medical professionals and your most trusted friends.

While you’re deciding, you should look into starting a new fitness regime. It will make you feel and look better while you figure out your next step. For more, read our blog on the best spring workouts.
