It seems that, these days, there is a constant barrage of images in magazines and on TV of women with perfect physiques making the rest of us feel like we are somehow deficient if we do not look like that. It is no surprise that this could lead some women to consider plastic surgery as a solution to an inadequate social life, or as a means to get back an old boyfriend. While it is true that a successful procedure can have a positive impact on a person's life, going into surgery for these reasons often leads to bitter disappointment.
Surgery should only be considered by those who are being very realistic about what it can accomplish, are in a good position psychologically and have the time to devote to the recovery. These procedures are most definitely not recommended for people who are under stress or going through traumatic periods in their lives.
Surgery is also not recommended for anyone who feels surgery will solve their problems or make them look like a movie star. Before you ever have anything done, you need to examine your own motives and make sure that you are not trying to look like some ideal version of yourself.
There is always the potential for depression after surgery, if you are not happy with the results due to unrealistic expectations. Of all the patients who are disappointed with their surgery, many of these were doing it for the wrong reasons and were in a hurry to get it done, so they did not research all their options first. Not doing research means that they did not find out what would be the best procedure and they may have committed to the first surgeon they talked to.
Remember that you will have to live with the results of surgery for years to come, so it makes no sense to go into it for the wrong reasons or without doing sufficient research. I have found that there are several plastic surgery surgeons qualified to do my procedure and there are probably in your area also. Among the clinics I found there are also a few liposuction surgeons that specialize in the procedure I am looking for, so make sure you check for specialists in your area too.
