Understanding Medical Restrictions

If you are thinking about getting plastic surgery, it is important that you properly prepare yourself. You might have seen people around you who have gotten such great results, but fail to see what the healing process looks like. Although the healing should never deter you from getting the procedure that you want, it is important to be realistic about what to expect here are some things you should know.

1. You Will Pay For Everything In Cash

The first thing to know is that you will pay for all of the procedure in cash. Most plastic surgery is considered elective surgery. Thus, your insurance won't even be notified that you did it. So you will pay for the anesthesiologist, the surgeons fees and all of your prescriptions on your own. Most surgeons have a bill that they give you up front so you know exactly how much it is going to be. In some cases if you prepay you can get a discount on the services. But the most important thing is to make sure that your finances are ready to pay for the procedure in full.

2. Prepare Your House For The Procedure

It is important that you have your house prepared for the procedure. First of all, you should know that you won't want to leave the house. There could be some swelling and pain and so you probably don't want to be seen. Additionally, if you too much you can rip the stitches and in order to keep your plastic surgery looking good, you need to protect your stitches. You will need to have meals at the house so you don't have to cook, your prescriptions on hand, and you should prepare a place to sleep. You may not be able to lay on your stomach or face, so many people use a recliner with lots of pillows to sleep in.

3. Prepare Yourself Emotionally

You should never get plastic surgery unless you are ready for the changes emotionally. Changing your body, especially your face, can be a roller coaster of emotion. Know that it may take a while to get used to your new look, even if it was the look that you wanted. You should also know that although there will be changes to your physical appearance, it won't change who you are. Some people expect too much out of their new self. They think they will be more confident and happy. In can help with many of these things, but you may also want to work with therapist as well.
