Trained surgeons know that healthy patients have more consistently successful surgery outcomes. Those who engage in unhealthy habits (smoking for example) face a greater risk of complications. That’s why surgeons often decline to operate on such patients.
Those interested in cosmetic and facial plastic surgery should go through a sort of ‘lifestyle makeover’ beforehand, modifying their habits until they have reached a set goal. At Mandell-Brown Cosmetic Surgery, we want our patients to have the best surgical experience and results possible. Part of achieving this requires a focus on being healthy. The ideal patient refrains from smoking or using illegal drugs, has a stable weight, and realistic expectations about cosmetic surgery.
Contact us for a consultation and we can provide more specific information on health and surgery outcomes.
