As with everything in life, there is no free lunch. Everything comes with a cost. But as a matter of fact, you should view this as an investment into your future, happiness and wellbeing rather than a cost of living. If you are more satisfied with your appearance, you will be more confident, which will make you more successful in your professional life and social life. It is after all, a personal choice and also elective surgery.
You’ll find that more experienced, better trained, and more highly skilled plastic surgeons command and receive higher fees. These surgeons also increase your chances of higher quality care and less risk of complications. Procedures performed in hospitals tend to cost more than in an office-based surgical suite or private practice. Procedures in the Northeast (New York) and West Coast (Los Angeles) of the United States of America also cost more than in other states. Some patients even consider having plastic surgery performed in other countries like Mexico, South Africa, Brasil, Russia, and Europe as currencies are weaker and so make it more affordable.
Here are some tips to consider when thinking about how to pay for plastic surgery:
There are many other details that go into surgery planning. Often times, it’s easy to forget the small stuff. The following pre- and post-op checklists are meant to provide the details that can make your life easier before and after your plastic surgery. This list does not replace the advice of a qualified plastic surgeon, but it should provide tips about what to ask the doctor and how to be better prepared for your plastic surgery to have a more pleasant experience.
Medications you’re already taking may interact with surgery or with medications that your doctor prescribes before and after your procedure. Be sure to tell your doctor about any medications you are taking or plan to take throughout recovery. Vitamins, minerals, and herbs can also interact with medications. If you are taking any vitamins or any other supplements, be sure to tell your plastic surgeon.
Being prepared for plastic surgery can reduce risks associated with medical procedures. Being prepared can also provide more comfort and convenience throughout the recovery process.
For many patients, the greatest concern when it comes to plastic surgery is anesthesia. Since most standard surgical procedures are quite complex to perform and require deep incisions into skin and muscle tissue, the use of anesthetic has become the norm. Research and development of anesthetics and procedures has improved dramatically minimizing the risk of complication during or after surgery to an absolute minimum.
Yet, understanding the risks involved and gaining insights into anesthesia types will remove any concerns or fears a patient might have.
The primary function of anesthesia is to prevent pain. There are four types:
Regardless of the type of anesthesia, equipment is used during surgery to monitor your heart rate, circulation, temperature, blood flow, body fluids, oxidation and adequate ventilation. The monitoring is designed to reduce the risk of complications. The most common complication of anesthesia is nausea or vomiting. Medication can be administered to reduce this risk.
The decision for the appropriate type of anesthesia involves your doctor, your anesthesiologist and yourself. Before any surgery you need to prepare a list of information about your health to help choose the appropriate type of anesthesia. This list should include:
Your doctor will review this list during your consultation and immediately before the procedure, when he or she will also ask what time you last ate or drank. You may be asked to restrict food and drink intake for a specific time period before the procedure. In the case of general anesthesia, this time period is typically eight to 12 hours.
After surgery, the effects of anesthesia will be reversed as you are monitored in the recovery unit of the surgical facility. If you experience pain, it is important to ltell your doctor or nurse, who usually can give you medication for an easier recovery.
Depending on the type of anesthesia used, anesthesia recovery can take one to six hours. After this period, you will still need to have someone drive you home. After any form of anesthesia used in outpatient surgery, doctors will recommend that you have someone stay with you for at least 24 hours.
Restrictions may also include no driving, no operating equipment and no legal decisions for 24 hours. Rest is the key. The directions vary depending on the procedure.
Your doctor will also provide a postoperative instruction list that you must follow to reduce the risk of complications.
As with any surgery, there are certain risks, beyond the temporary and minor side effects. The surgeon should mention them during a consultation and make you aware of risks involved and possible complications during or after surgery.
There is a risk of infection, postoperative bleeding, formation of a blood clot, and severe swelling. Asymmetry is a risk with all forms of cheek augmentation. This can occur due to uneven resorption, implant displacement, or shifting. This shift can happen due to swelling, trauma or scarring. Although a temporary loss of sensation is common, an extended loss of sensation can occur with any surgery, especially cosmetic plastic surgery.
The more serious possible complications include:
The cosmetic surgeon should give the participant a written list of symptoms to watch for, along with instructions for post-op self-care.
Chin augmentation using surgical implants can alter the underlying structure of the face, providing better balance to the facial features. This operation is often, but not always, performed at the time of rhinoplasty to help balance the facial proportions. Chin augmentation may be achieved by manipulation of the jaw bone (mandible) and augmentation utilizing this technique usually provides a more dramatic correction than with the use of prosthetic implants.
Cheek augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is intended to emphasize the cheeks on a person’s face. To augment the cheeks, a plastic surgeon may place a solid implant over the cheekbone. Injections with the patients’ own fat or a soft tissue filler, like Restylane, are also popular. Rarely, various cuts to the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) may be performed. Cheek augmentation is commonly combined with other procedures, such as a face lift or chin augmentation.
Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty (”fat modeling”), liposculpture suction lipectomy or simply lipo (”suction-assisted fat removal”) is a cosmetic surgery operation that removes fat from many different sites on the human body. Areas affected can range from the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, to the neck, backs of the arms and elsewhere. Several factors limit the amount of fat that can be safely removed in one session. Ultimately, the operating physician and the patient make the decision. There are negative aspects to removing too much fat. Unusual “lumpiness” and/or “dents” in the skin can be seen in those patients “over-suctioned”. The more fat removed, the higher the surgical risk.
A Forehead lift, also known as a browlift or browplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure used to elevate a drooping eyebrow that may obstruct vision and/or to remove the deep “worry” lines that run across the forehead and may portray to others anger, sternness, hostility, fatigue or other unintended emotions.
