What’s the most important piece of advice when
considering cosmetic surgery?
Do your research and ask plenty of questions at
your consultation. You want to ensure you are in
the safest and most experienced of hands.
What exactly should would-be patients look
out for?
It’s important that your Surgeon is a “Consultant
Plastic Surgeon” and qualified to the absolute highest
level. I would also ensure that your surgery takes
place in a hospital and that you stay overnight.
How important is aftercare?
Aftercare is incredibly important, you want
to make sure your provider has medical care
available to you 24/7.
What is the most common cosmetic
surgery procedure?
Breast Augmentation continues to be the most
common, followed by breast reduction, liposuction
and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Facial surgery is
also on the increase. Advancements in techniques
allow beautifully subtle and sophisticated results.
Again, the key is choosing only the most reputable
and experienced of providers. The skill of your
Surgeon is of paramount importance.
What about size, what is the average increase?
The majority of our patients go from an A cup
to just a C cup. We’re talking a subtle increase
in volume, a more feminine shape and most
importantly, natural looking results.
What about the pain factor?
Naturally it depends on the surgery and everyone
recovers differently but for Breast Augmentation
surgery for example patients tend to describe the
feeling of stiffness and tenderness, that feeling you
get when you over do it in the gym.
What about recovery?
Recovery naturally depends on the type of
surgery but for example, breast augmentation
patients usually take a week off work. If your job
is physical you’ll need to take a little more time
but this is discussed in detail at consultation
stage.
If you are considering any type of cosmetic surgery
procedure, the best advice is to speak with the
most reputable of providers, do your research so
you can make an informed decision.
