Before undertaking any procedure, it’s crucial to understand that all kinds of surgery—including cosmetic surgery—can be risky. Thus, you need to carefully select your doctor to avoid any threats to your health. To help you out, here are some pointers on how to choose the right cosmetic surgeon for you:

Check qualifications – Research on the surgeon’s qualifications before your consultation. Verify that he/she is accredited by British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) or The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. This ensures that the cosmetic surgeon has undergone intensive training and possesses the required expertise to perform your preferred procedure.

Before and after photos – Ask the plastic surgeon for some before and after pictures of his/her past clients to get an overview of his/her skill set and expertise. And if possible, you may ask for a list of previous patients who are willing to discuss with you their cosmetic surgery procedures.

Good rapport – It’s important to build good rapport with your doctor. He/she should be a great listener, compassionate and truly understands your motivations and requirements. If you don’t feel comfortable or safe with him/her, you should look for another one. In fact, it’s best to consult at least three cosmetic surgeons before deciding which one to choose.

Post-surgery care – Enquire if your surgeon will be actively involved during post-operation. Excellent plastic surgeons ensure their clients are recuperating well after undergoing a treatment. Don’t forget to ask about follow-up visits and policies/procedures should surgical modifications be required.

Cosmetic surgery is a life-changing decision and its results are often permanent. As such, keep in mind these tips above to get the right cosmetic surgeon for you.

Earlier this month, three leading British actresses spoke out against cosmetic surgery. Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz all declared that they will never get plastic surgery.

In many ways, this was a strong vote against the Hollywood youth-driven culture which places immense pressure on actresses in particular to retain their youthful good looks rather than age gracefully.

However many commentators have also remarked that it is easy to rush to the moral high ground when you already enjoy such iconic good looks.

The decision on whether to undergo a cosmetic surgery procedure should always be a personal one, and taken only after full consultation.

Although the primary motivations are visual improvements, for many women and men, cosmetic surgery can also bring increased self-confidence and raised self-esteem.

At the royal wedding earlier this year, Pippa Middleton’s profile gained her instant fame and a worldwide following. In particular her spectacular figure-hugging bridesmaid’s dress drew attention to her bottom, and with it over 200,000 fans on Facebook!

Since then, plastic surgeons around the world have been inundated with requests from clients wishing to reshape their derrieres to emulate Pippa’s.

In the US, this augmentation of the behind is now termed a ‘Pippa butt lift’. Previously patients’ descriptions of the perfect rear tended to refer to Beyonce , Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian.

And apparently Pippa’s nose is also gaining a strong following as the ideal, challenging those of actress Nicole Kidman and singer Ashlee Simpson.

For most cosmetic surgeons, this trend underlines what they already knew – people will ask for what they see and like. And both Middleton sisters have certainly enjoyed a lot of TV and online exposure in the past year.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Pippa has certainly caught many eyes!

People have travelled abroad for elective surgery for many years which has given rise to the term medical tourism.

In recent years, there has been a worrying trend to combine a foreign holiday with cosmetic surgery. The attraction of relaxation away from home combined with cost savings can make it a tempting option.

However in a recent article, Dr Miguel Delgado, a board certified plastic surgeon from California, explained there are some very important things that potential medical tourists should consider that may not be apparent at first sight. » Read in full
