A plastic surgeon is the doctor who helps people reduce scars, disfigurement suffered due to an accident, birth defects, treatment of illnesses or simply for vanity. Today this kind of surgery is very common; every person has a self image or a perception of how each one looks to others and this idea has become very important to everybody. A study demonstrates that people that are glad with their self image are more liable to be self self-assured and surer in social and work circumstances. They are also inhibited and always show security in themselves.
Plastic surgery (reconstructive or cosmetic) is the new tool that surgeons have to help give other people a new self image. It does not matter if the change is small or not, whatever the change is, the person will experiment a great change not only physically, but a change that will augment their self esteem which will help them a lot. You must realize that the changes produced by a plastic surgery will be permanent.
A very important thing that you must know is that not all the people is a good candidate for a plastic surgery. If you are planning a plastic surgery for you, you have to think why you think you need a plastic surgery? What do you expect of this operation? Many other aspects must be analyzed for you to take the decision. There are two classifications of persons who are good aspirants for a plastic surgery, first, the persons who have a good self image but are not content with some physical attribute and want to change it. The second group is formed by people who have suffered disfigurement in an accident or birth defects that may be fixed by a plastic surgery.
However, not all people may apply for a plastic surgery, sometimes some surgeons prefer not to operate a person and instead they recommend them psychological help to ensure that the only reason of why a patient wants a physical change is due to an emotional problem that may be fixed without a plastic surgery. There are many cases of these kinds of people who think that the best option to solve their problems is through a plastic surgery. If you are planning a plastic surgery for you, contact your doctor and ask him/her if you are a good candidate, or if you really need a plastic surgery.
