Am I a Canidate?

There are several factors that need to be considered when deciding candidacy for cosmetic procedures. Most importantly, you the patient need to consider your desired results and expectations. Depending on the procedure(s) you are interested in, different issues need to be addressed and analyzed.

Expectations
It is important to have high expectations and to demand utmost quality and care with any cosmetic procedure. However, it is best when the patient understands that no procedure will completely change the way you look. Cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures are designed to enhance, rejuvenate, and bring out the optimum appearance of your natural features. True, cosmetic procedures will alter the way you see yourself, the way others see you, but it is unrealistic to come into a decision of this type with the expectation of a complete transformation.

Mental health and stability is always a factor that you and your surgeon will discuss regarding this topic. It is not healthy to rely on cosmetic procedures to fulfill a need for self-confidence and security; although, it is probable that enhanced confidence will be one the after effects of a procedure if you go into it with the right perspectives.

Medical History and Overall Health
During a preoperative consultation, one of the categories of inquiry will be your medical history and overall physical health. Questions about your family history will be addressed, such as histories of cancer, diabetes, etc. as in any other medical consultation. Other questions will arise regarding your personal health, i.e. allergies to medications or synthetic substances, whether you are a smoker, whether you have any blood clotting difficulties, general rate of healing, etc. Also, your profession may be taken into account in regards to whether you are required to perform physical labor or strenuous activities in order to determine when best to schedule your surgery due to recovery time.
