A problem that arises for many people who undergo plastic surgery is results failing to match up with expectations. It is important to think of plastic surgery as not a pathway to perfection but improvement. If you place unreasonably high hopes on the procedure, it can lead to disappointment with even the best results.

It is also important to consider the expenses of plastic surgery. Plastic surgery is not likely to be covered by insurance plans so you can be tempted to place economic consideration as a top priority. This reasoning can be problematic since it fails to consider value over the cost of a procedure. You also need to consider that you may need to undergo follow-up procedures, adding to the expense. Speak with your doctor to help you decide on the best course of action in alignment with your means and goals.
