For most elective cosmetic plastic surgery procedures, one must consider the trade-offs in accepting the decision for surgery. Usually you are trading off one set of problems for another….just be sure what you are trading into is better than what you currently have.
For example, you might want those flabby arms smaller but you will have to accept a long scar on the inside of your arm. Breast implants will immediately make your breasts bigger, but they are lifelong medical devices, that while rare, do have some long-term issues. You might want to get rid of that neck waddle…at the price of scars around your ears. In short, make sure the trade-offs are better probems than the problem you have now. That is the secret to a good decision for most patients considering plastic surgery.
