Is It Time to Consider Cosmetic Surgery?
Plastic surgery is a significant decision that should be made with careful consideration—especially when it comes to its physical and emotional impacts. At UR Clinic, we recommend considering surgery in the following situations:
1. You have a genuine concern about a physical feature that you'd like to improve.
- You feel significantly dissatisfied with a physical feature that affects your self-confidence.
- You maintain realistic and well-informed expectations regarding the potential results of the surgery.
- You understand that cosmetic surgery can enhance your appearance, but it won't completely change your life.
2. You are in good physical health and well-prepared to undergo the procedure safely.
- You are in stable health and free from underlying medical conditions that may pose added risks during surgery.
- You are a non-smoker, or you are committed to quitting smoking both before and after the procedure to ensure optimal healing.
- The body weight is appropriate and stable (especially for certain types of surgery).
3. Mentally prepared.
- Has an understanding of the risks and limitations of the surgery.
- Has motivation driven by personal desire, not by pressure from others.
- Has patience for the recovery process and understands that the final results may take time.
4. Financially prepared.
- Has a sufficient budget for all expenses, including any potential costs arising from complications.
- Understands that most cosmetic surgeries are not covered by health insurance.
When should you avoid surgery?
At UR Clinic, we believe in comprehensive patient care. There are several situations where we recommend avoiding or postponing surgery:
1. Having unrealistic expectations.
- Expecting that surgery will solve all of life's problems.
- Having a distorted self-image or wanting to change oneself to resemble someone else.
- Having symptoms of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).
2. Having health issues.
- Having uncontrolled chronic conditions, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
- Having conditions that may affect wound healing, such as immune deficiencies.
- Being pregnant or breastfeeding.
3. Having behavioral risk factors.
- Unable to quit smoking.
- Having issues with alcohol consumption or drug use.
- Unable to follow post-surgery instructions.
4. Being in a phase of life with high stress.
- Experiencing emotional stress, such as going through a divorce, losing a loved one, or changing jobs.
- Having untreated mental health issues.
5. Being too young.
- Not old enough for certain types of surgery, as the body is still in a growth phase.
- Lacking sufficient understanding of the long-term results of the surgery.
