Are You Ready For Plastic Surgery?

September 1, 2006
Every year, millions of Americans seek out plastic surgery. Whatever the reason for choosing plastic surgery -- cosmetic, reconstructive, or a combination of both – it's important to make sure you're really ready.

Test your motivations for seeking out plastic surgery by asking yourself the following:

• Why am I choosing to enhance my appearance? Are others pressuring or forcing me, or am I making the decision for myself?
• Am I being realistic with regard to my expectations?
• Do I think that plastic surgery will change my life?
• Am I ready to accept the risks? Do I understand that results are permanent and no results are guaranteed?
• Am I in good health – mentally and physically?
• Can I afford all the costs associated with plastic surgery?

Those who are considering plastic surgery, regardless of the procedure, should always try to remain aware of their underlying motivations, especially because plastic surgery cannot ultimately change who a person is .
