7. Do not expect to look like a celebrity
What is the main reason why you want to change your looks? Are you doing it because you really need it? Or do you want it simply because it is trendy among celebrities and TV stars? Be wise and do not let TV dominate you. Be yourself at all times! Cosmetic procedures that involve surgery are risky and you should be careful. Besides, even if you are sure that your doctor is wonderful and that you need the procedure, remember that you will never look like your idol. Each of us is different and our bodies react differently to cosmetic procedures. Your individuality should always be taken into account. Most doctors would gladly avoid patients who come to them just because they are some celebrity’s fans. Most of such patients later on regret undergoing their procedures because they did it for the wrong reasons.

8. Understanding the recovery process
To be fully aware of the recovery process is also essential. Find out what it is like and prepare for it. Some of us tend to ignore this information, but all kinds of post-operational factors must not be neglected. How serious is the procedure? Will you be able to go back home on your own? Will you need professional assistance after leaving the clinic? Who is going to take you back home? Will it be a painful period? You might even need to take some time off work. Plan and foresee such things ahead. Ask your doctor to inform you what you should prepare for.
