1) What is Cosmetic Surgery?

Cosmetic surgery is an umbrella term used to describe a variety of surgical procedures whose goal is to improve someone’s appearance. It can include everything from breast augmentations to facelifts to nose jobs – basically anything that will enhance or alter one’s physical form for aesthetic purposes.

As with any surgery or medical procedure, there are risks involved in cosmetic surgery. However, when performed by a licensed, experienced surgeon in a reputable facility using FDA-approved equipment and techniques, the risks are generally low. Any good surgeon will always discuss all potential risks with patients before performing any procedure.

3) How much does it cost?

The cost of least invasive procedures like fillers or Botox treatments may run anywhere from $150-$500 per session while more complex surgeries can be tens of thousands of dollars depending upon type and severity.

4) What about recovery time?

This varies greatly depending on the procedure and individual factors such as age and overall health but after effects such as bruising or swelling may last for up to several weeks following plastic surgeries on larger sections like breasts or body contouring liposuction.

5) How do I choose a surgeon?

Choosing a reputable board-certified doctor who specializes in plastic surgery is crucial! Ask for referrals from friends who have had procedures done themselves; read reviews online; check licenses & educational track records.

6) Are there certain qualifications I need before undergoing surgery?

There isn’t a set of mandatory qualifications to have plastic surgery, but it’s important that you are in good health overall and have realistic expectations for the outcome. Most importantly, feel comfortable taking the time necessary during pre-op consultations to fully discuss what you want with your surgeon.

7) How long do the results last?

Results can last anywhere from several months to a lifetime, depending on the procedure performed.

8) What if I’m not happy with my results?

Reputable and board-certified surgeons always encourage patients to schedule follow-up appointments as needed after their surgical procedures. If you’re unhappy with your results or experience complications after surgery, don't hesitate to bring it up during follow ups so appropriate actions can be taken
