IS COSMETIC SURGERY FOR ME? AM I BEING REALISTIC?

If you have tried other options to remedy what makes you unhappy, then perhaps, cosmetic surgery could be something to seriously think about. However cosmetic surgery is not always the magic answer to everything and many people aren’t realistic in their expectations or their aims. Unfortunately we have not all been graced with superstar faces or bodies so thinking that after surgery we will look like a super model is an unrealistic expectation. The aim of surgery is improvement not perfection or a total change. Good results are often subtle and are designed to achieve better harmony of facial or bodily features and a more natural or younger appearance. Patients who look forward to miraculous transformations are inevitably disappointed.

ARE THERE RISKS INVOLVED IN PLASTIC SURGERY?

A certain degree of risk is inherent in any surgical procedure and although complications seldom occur, this should be considered in your decision to undergo surgery. All operations, except for laser skin treatment, require incisions, which heal by forming a scar. In cosmetic surgery, we try to make these scars as inconspicuous as possible. How well your scars heal depends on surgical technique, patient's age, hereditary factors and characteristics of each individual’s skin and if the patient smokes. Scars are an essential part of healing and it is impossible to make them disappear completely.
Infections are rare in cosmetic surgery, but they can occur. If they do, treatment with antibiotics and additional surgery may be required.

Bleeding can also occur as a side effect of cosmetic surgery. Presence of blood in the tissue can cause scarring and shrinking, or irregularity of tissues. This may be difficult to correct.
Temporary black and blue discoloration following surgery is common and usually disappears completely with time.

It is important that any problem you may have with your general health or any allergies that you are aware of are mentioned to your surgeon.
Following your initial operation, secondary surgery may be necessary to make minor revisions, or in rare cases, to relieve complications that arise. The operating cosmetic surgeon must make any final decision regarding the need for secondary surgery.

COSMETIC SURGERY COSTS AND INSURANCE?

Cosmetic surgery and related costs (hospital and anaesthetic fees) are paid in advance. This type of surgery is not an emergency and you will have ample time to arrange your finances. Cosmetic surgery is never covered by medical insurance unless it is also performed to improve or restore function. In this case your insurance company may cover part or all of the costs. This is a matter, which you must take up with them.

I FEEL REALLY NERVOUS IS THIS NORMAL?

Perfectly normal. You are due to have an operation that is not absolutely essential. Some people may have reacted critically to your choice to have surgery, you may have had to justify this expenditure to yourself and others, and you have probably seen televised many of the worst cases of cosmetic surgery that have been performed by inexperienced, unqualified surgeons or some of the very rare cases where there is an adverse reaction. All of these can trigger adrenaline and a state of anxiety. Remember that BFN Cosmetic Tourism is there with you throughout your cosmetic surgery and have seen many hundreds of clients having the same emotions as you.
