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.)

Any Tips about Recovery

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.
