Did I make the right decision?

Up to this point, where you already did your consultations, preparation and set up a date for surgery, it should be clear to you whether you made a right decision or not. If you’re not satisfied with the way you look or you are facing self-esteem issues, or your looks affect your general health, you should choose a plastic surgery as an option. It is normal to feel pressure and constant doubt during the preparation and consultation process - and if you’re having second guess, you can always cancel or reschedule a surgery (but make sure you do it at least 4 weeks before the scheduled date). Try to relax and calm down before the actual surgery - that way, you’ll be more prepared for the procedure and your doctor will also appreciate your optimism and enthusiasm.

Is plastic surgery painful?

Procedures which are performed under general anesthesia, such as breast surgery or procedures of body sculpting (like abdominoplasty, inner thigh tightening and liposuction), usually pass painlessly. However, depending on your level of sensitivity and the type of the surgical procedure, there is a chance of short-term pain which can be controlled with the help of painkillers. On the other hand, procedures like face lifting or facial corrections are performed under partial anesthesia, which means that the patient is fully aware of the procedure. It is possible to feel certain amount of pain (for example, the stab of the needle), but it’s only a short-term pain which will pass right after the procedure. If there is a good collaboration between doctor and patient, the procedure can pass almost painlessly.
