When you head to the surgeon's office to talk about a face lift, you need to have some idea of why want to take this step. Why are you choosing this type of procedure?
What are your motivations for having a face lift? If you aren't really sure,
it might be a good idea to spend some time thinking about why you want to undergo plastic surgery. Today, just about any part of a person's body can be changed, manipulated or improved. It is important to know just why you are willing to proceed and make sure that this decision is based on what you want; not anyone else's opinion.
Do You Know Why You Want Cosmetic Surgery?
When you meet with a cosmetic surgeon, he or she will have lots of questions about your medical history, your current health and any medications you are taking. However, before the meeting comes to an end, you can be sure that the practitioner is going to ask you why you want to have a face lift.
It helps to already have an answer to this question. In some cases, surgeons will deny you treatment at their facility if they feel that you are not emotionally able to handle it. Denial also includes individuals who are looking for an improvement to their facial features that do not need it. So before you walk into the office, you need to know why you are having a face lift and who you are doing it for.
How Much Will it Cost You Monetarily, Physically, and Emotionally?
Remember that only one person is going to have to go through this experience. You are going to be the one that physically undergoes the face lift. You will have a recovery time that typically includes bruising, and sometimes complications. If you go into this for someone else it is important to realize that you are the one that is going to go through the trauma.
Financially, this is usually a pretty big decision. Costs vary from surgeon to surgeon and there are varying levels of lifts that can be administered. You want to invest your money into yourself for your own benefit. Don't spend you money on making a change for someone else.
Sometimes, after the procedure, the cost, and the recovery time are taken into consideration, you feel emotionally drained. This is a big step and you want to know that everything you feel is because you decided on this. If you had this done for someone else, you may feel some resentment towards that person. This is always a difficult situation to be in.
How Do You Expect to Feel When Everything is Completed?
Looking in the mirror at a completely different person is not always easy. There are emotions that are attached to the transformation. In most cases, you will be thrilled with the way that you look and the improved confidence that comes with the face lift. Other times, you may have second thoughts or just feel an overwhelming sense of emotional stress. No matter how you feel, you want to go through these things because you made a choice for yourself.
