Am I a Good Candidate for Cosmetic Surgery?
The more informed and educated you are, the better candidate you will be for cosmetic surgery. Dr. Randall B. Weil, cosmetic surgeon of Walnut Creek, wants to provide you with the best possible care and surgery.
Although the risks involved are minimal, you must be in good mental and physical health to be considered a good candidate for any cosmetic surgery procedure.
Your Reasons
You should be sure of your reasons and desire to undergo cosmetic surgery. Some questions you should ask yourself:
Why am I choosing to undergo cosmetic surgery? You must be electing to have this type of surgery for your own desires and needs. Someone who is considering this type of surgery must not be seeking to please another person in their lives. This surgery is about you and for you.
What is my overall mind set? Be sure you are generally happy in your life. You should give your choice to have cosmetic surgery a lot of consideration before going through with it.
What are my expectations for the outcome of my cosmetic surgery? You must have a good idea of the results you are seeking.
Knowing your reasons for wanting cosmetic surgery and having a good, healthy attitude with realistic expectations are all essential to begin preparing for your surgical procedure.
Preparation
Your doctor will also ask you questions concerning your health and ability to follow instructions to ensure a safe, smooth and happy experience.
Are you in good general health? Doctor Weil must know every detail of your medical history to determine whether or not it will be safe for you to have cosmetic surgery. As with any type of surgical procedure, it is essential that you communicate with your doctor so that he knows everything about your medical history.
Are you prepared to follow all directions from your doctor in preparing for surgery? Your ability to adhere to all of the doctor�s instructions will play a large part in the outcome of your surgical experience. Your best interests and personal safety are of the utmost importance.
After-care
You must be willing and able to comply with all after-care instructions. Dr. Weil will explain all of your post-surgery care instructions to provide you with the best outcome and a smooth recovery period. You should have someone available to drive you home the day of the surgery and possibly stay with you the first night. You should also be prepared to take the necessary time off from work to ensure a complete and full recovery. Plan these details ahead of time with your family, friends and employer to ensure that you have the necessary care and time needed.
