Who Can Consider Plastic Surgery?
In general anyone who is in good health can consider any of these
facial procedures although surgeons will recommend that you don’t
wait too long. With the continued refinement of the less radical procedures
than the old traditional face lift, surgeons see greater success on
younger patients who requires less work. A full medical work up will
be required before any procedure that involves cutting and the administration
of either a local or general anesthetic.
How Much does it Cost?
In general health insurance policies do not cover elective plastic
surgeries and none of the procedures mentioned are inexpensive. Expect
to pay upwards to $6,000 for a face lift, approximately $3,000 for
cheek implants, $4,000 for a “nose job,” $3,000 for a
forehead lift, and approximately $2,700 for work to the eyes. (These
fees are reflective of the bill presented by the surgeon. There may
be additional fees for facility usage, the services of an anesthesiologist,
and items like post-surgical medications or other recovery items.)

In the process of recovery you can expect to be uncomfortable and
most likely unsightly from any of these procedures. Most if not all
will include bruising and swelling. Talk to your physician at length
about appropriate post-surgical measures to increase your comfort.
These may include applications of hot or cold packs, the use of prescribed
or recommended creams, gentle massage, bed rest, and staying out of
the sun.
Opting for a cosmetic procedure is a major decision and should
not be made lightly. By having the procedure before the effects
of aging have become too severe the extent of necessary work can
be minimized and with it the degree of your discomfort and expense.
In facial plastic surgery, male and female candidates will experience
different criteria for any given procedure and should fully explore
exactly what facial plastic surgery will mean for them and when
is their optimum time to choose to have the work done.
