Cosmetic surgery is a medical operation performed by a plastic or cosmetic surgeon to enhance the "look" of a specific part of the body. Cosmetic surgery has the potential to change not just one's physical appearance, but also one's mental and psychological well-being. The pandemic, unfortunately, halted different elective and non-urgent surgeries around the world. Many available resources were routed to caring for COVID-19 patients, and you had to reconsider your priorities in light of current circumstances. However, if you are still considering plastic surgery, there are several things you need to think about. No matter if you plan to have your surgery now or later when the pandemic is put under control, we advise you to do your research beforehand and get informed about the procedure you want to do.
Clinic and surgeon
The most important thing you have to consider is the choice of clinic and surgeon. They have to adhere to the highest standards and doctor must have experience in the exact treatment you are seeking. Aestheticon clinic in Dubai is one of such clinics. The clinic is globally renowned for clinical integrity and honesty, offering the full range of proven and effective plastic/aesthetic procedures, as well as hand surgery and skincare treatments. Aestheticon's management ensures that operations are conducted at the highest international levels by recruiting a carefully chosen, continually trained, and harmonized team.
The wide variety of patients and clients who come from all over the world, including celebrities from the world of film, sports, and even politics, reflect the quality of this clinic. The clinic is outfitted with cutting-edge equipment from leading manufacturers in the EU and the USA, and only uses high-quality products that have been certified by reputable quality organizations such as the FDA and/or CE.
Preparation and recovery time
Your doctor will take your detailed medical history, so you need to be as accurate as possible. Mention all the chronic conditions and medicines that you are taking. It is important to be healthy on the day of your surgery. We know that some circumstances can't be predicted, but you can try to do everything in your power to avoid illness or injury. Take care of your weight, try not to smoke, and maintain healthy habits. Even though COVID-19 is a real danger at the moment, we are not sure how the future with the virus will look like. Hence, we advise you to try to limit your social contacts and possible exposure before your scheduled surgery.
Although some interventions have improved to the point that you can feel better in as little as a day or two, others take longer to heal from. Since you'll most likely need to take time off work and enlist the help of someone to care for you before you're up and running again, you'll want to know what to expect after the surgery and how long it will take you to heal. The surgeon and/or other medical professionals will most certainly send you a detailed list of things to do in order to recover properly from your operation. To ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery, read these directions thoroughly and get ready ahead of time if possible.
Do not hesitate to ask your doctor about any details related to pre-operation procedures, the operation itself, and recovery. That way, you will be informed and able to prepare accordingly. As a patient, you have the right to informed consent, and medical staff will happily answer all your questions.
Be realistic and flexible
The pandemic is certainly changing the world we live in. It affects all spheres of life, including health. The trends in medicine are also changing, so be open-minded and cooperate with your doctor. Be aware of your rights as a patient, but also be aware that you are maybe not a good candidate for a certain type of surgery. Your doctor works in your interest and puts your health in the first place. It is important to set achievable goals for your transformation. Plastic surgery is not almighty, and your idea of a "perfect body" will maybe not transform into reality. We are not trying to discourage you, but rather to advise you to have rational expectations. Trust your surgeon, as he will explain to you what can and what cannot be done. Communication is the key! Be informed, stay healthy, and we wish you a quick recovery.
