Surgery Patients Should Be Healthy First
Did you know that healthy patients – with a stable weight, who don’t smoke – are far more likely to have successful surgery outcomes? Patients with unhealthy lifestyles face greater risks and complications when they undergo surgery, so in most cases it is wiser for the surgeon to simply decline the procedure.
People who are interested in cosmetic and facial plastic surgery should first go through a sort of ‘lifestyle makeover,’ modifying their habits until they have reached a satisfactory state of health. At our Seattle Plastic Surgery office, we want our patients to get the best experience and outcome possible, so we ask them to focus on being healthy first. The ideal patient refrains from smoking or using illegal drugs, has a stable weight, and realistic expectations about cosmetic surgery.
