For Surgeons, Patient Health is Paramount
It’s common knowledge among surgeons that healthy patients – with a stable weight, who don’t smoke – see more successful results. That’s why they often decline to operate on a patient who is in a poor state of health as a result of risky habits. Such patients face a greater chance of complications such as delayed healing.
Those interested in cosmetic and facial plastic surgery should first go through a sort of ‘lifestyle makeover,’ modifying their habits until they have reached a goal of satisfactory health. At Indiana Plastic Surgery, we want our patients to have the best surgical experience possible, so we ask them to first focus on being healthy. The ideal patient refrains from smoking or using illegal drugs, has a stable weight, and realistic expectations about cosmetic surgery.
