Plastic surgery, although often cosmetic in nature and done as an elected procedure, is still surgery. It is critical that you make the decision once you are well informed on all the facts regarding the procedure, the cosmetic surgeon, the facility and how it will effect you.

Ask the right questions, get the right answers. Don't be afraid to ask the plastic surgeon you are working with as many questions as you need to so that you have no surprises once you have completed the surgery. Also, you want to be very clear on what your expectations are regarding the cosmetic procedure so that the plastic surgeon has all the details to satisfy you.

Ask these 7 Critical Questions Before Scheduling Your Plastic Surgery:

1. Know Your Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon. Ask what are his/her credentials and be sure to find out if they are Board Certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). It is important to ask what categories they are certified for also. Feel free to verify the information you receive.

2. Plastic Surgery Benefits. Ask what benefits you can expect from your procedure. Some surgeons may have the technology to show you computer generated images of the changes the cosmetic procedure will provide.
3. Plastic Surgery Risks. Ask what the risks are involved in the procedure, recovery and in the future. Surgery is surgery and there will some concerns that you will want to consider prior to having the surgery done.
4. Cosmetic Surgery Alternatives. Ask if there are any alternative to the procedure you are considering. Depending on what the procedure is and what results you are looking to obtain, the plastic surgeon may have non surgical procedures that he offers right in his/her office.
5. The Cosmetic Surgical Facility. Ask where the procedure will be performed and be sure to check out the facility prior to the surgery. Depending on the procedure and the plastic surgeon, you may have the surgery performed in the doctor's own private surgical suite or in a hospital.

6. Plastic Surgery Costs. Ask right up front what your total costs will be for the cosmetic surgery. In most cases these procedures are out of pocket expenses so you need to know all of the costs up front so there are no surprises later.
7. The Details of the Plastic Surgery. Ask for details! What exactly will the plastic surgeon be doing? What about anesthesia? What about recovery time? What are the long term benefits/risks?

Choosing to have plastic surgery to achieve the look you want is an important decision and knowing all the facts prior to having the procedure done will help you to make the right choices and to get the best results that you can achieve possible.

Looking as good as you feel starts with asking your cosmetic plastic surgeon the right questions.
