Plastic surgery covers two connected goals. Reconstructive surgery repairs the body after injury, cancer, burns or birth differences. Cosmetic surgery reshapes features to match how a person wishes to look. Both require skill, careful planning and realistic expectations.
Cosmetic procedures are still surgery. Keep these points in mind:
Smoking can affect healing.
Uncontrolled diabetes can affect healing.
Certain medicines can affect healing.
Long flights soon after an operation increase clot risk.
Your surgeon may ask you to adjust these before surgery. We recommend building adequate recovery time into your plan.
Look for a surgeon with recognised plastic surgery qualifications, a record of the procedure you need, and a willingness to explain risks plainly. Ask to see before-and-after photographs of real patients, and make sure the hospital has proper anaesthesia and emergency facilities.
Share clear photographs and your goals with us. We arrange online consultations, provide a preliminary treatment plan and cost range, and help you schedule your visit so that you stay long enough for follow-up checks and suture removal.
It depends on the procedure. Many patients stay one to two weeks for follow-up.
Sometimes. Your surgeon will decide if combining is safe.
